CtsmmCapletCalibration question

Hello everyone,

Am I looking at this code correctly?  Looks like I pass market caplet vols, market swaption vols, curve reference (CurveState), and a correlation object, and it solves for best fit caplet or swaption vols depending on the users choice of "Caplet0Swaption1Priority"?

Basically, I have swaption vols and some caplet vols (out to 2y expiry), but I need to find the proper (fitted) term structure for all caplets (say, out to 35 years).  I think this is the right class in QL to be using, but wanted to double check.  I'm not very well versed in C++, so hopefully someone on the mailing list can help me out here.

Also, are there any research papers that would explain the underlying process of this model? It seems like a variation of LMM, but don't see any mention of it specifically in Rebonatto, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Mike DelMedico
