Detailed Description

The RemnantDecayer class is the base class to be used for all decayers capable of decaying a RemnantParticle object produced by a SoftRemnantHandler object.

A derived class must implement the decay(const DecayMode &, const Particle &, Step &) function, while the decay(const DecayMode &, const Particle &) function should never be called.

Member Function Documentation

◆ accept()

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::accept ( const DecayMode dm) const
virtual

Check if this decayer can perfom the decay specified by the given decay mode.

Parameters
dmthe DecayMode describing the decay.
Returns
true if this decayer can handle the given mode, otherwise false.

Implements ThePEG::Decayer.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SimpleBaryonRemnantDecayer.

◆ checkExtract()

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::checkExtract ( tcPPtr  parent,
tcPPtr  extracted,
const LorentzMomentum pnew 
) const
virtual

Return true if this decayer can handle the extraction of the extracted parton instance from the given particle instance.

pnew is the momentum of the resulting remnant. The default version simply checks if the energy is positive.

◆ decay() [1/2]

virtual ParticleVector ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::decay ( const DecayMode dm,
const Particle p,
Step step 
) const
pure virtual

Perform a decay for a given DecayMode and a given Particle instance.

This version allows the decaying particle to borrow energy/momentum from its sublings in the current step. This will be called by the standard DecayHandler if the needsFullStep() function returns true.

Parameters
dmthe DecayMode describing the decay.
pthe Particle instance to be decayed.
stepthe current step in which to find possible siblings to shuffle energy with.
Returns
a ParticleVector containing the decay products.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Decayer.

◆ decay() [2/2]

virtual ParticleVector ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::decay ( const DecayMode dm,
const Particle p 
) const
virtual

Perform a decay for a given DecayMode and a given Particle instance.

Parameters
dmthe DecayMode describing the decay.
pthe Particle instance to be decayed.
Returns
a ParticleVector containing the decay products.

Implements ThePEG::Decayer.

◆ decayRemnants()

static tPVector ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::decayRemnants ( const tPVector particles,
Step step 
)
static

Static function to decay al remnants among the given particles.

The decay products are inserted in the step provided.

Returns
a vector of the non-remnant particles together with the remnant decay products.

Referenced by pTGenerator().

◆ doinit()

virtual void ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::doinit ( )
protectedvirtual

Initialize this object after the setup phase before saving an EventGenerator to disk.

Exceptions
InitExceptionif object could not be initialized properly.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SimpleBaryonRemnantDecayer.

◆ getSubSystem()

virtual tPVector ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::getSubSystem ( tcPPtr  parent,
tPPtr  parton 
) const
protectedvirtual

Return the system of particles from the hard subsystem which may be used to shuffle momenta to get the remnants on-shell.

In this version the particles are ordered in rapidity with the ones closest to the remnant direction comes first. Other orderings can be enforced by sub-classes.

Referenced by extracted().

◆ getZBoost()

static LorentzRotation ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::getZBoost ( const LorentzMomentum p0,
const LorentzMomentum p 
)
staticprotected

Return a small boost along the z-axis.

To cure rounding errors when making large boosts it is sometimes necessary to correct the plus (or minus) lightcone component with a small boost along the z-axis. The resulting boost is constructed so that the momentum p0 would be transformed to have the sam z-value as the momentum p.

Referenced by extracted().

◆ Init()

static void ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::Init ( )
static

The standard Init function used to initialize the interfaces.

Called exactly once for each class by the class description system before the main function starts or when this class is dynamically loaded.

◆ needsFullStep()

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::needsFullStep ( ) const
virtual

Return true if this Decayer need to access the full current step when a particle is decayed.

If true is returned the standard Decay Handler will call the decay(const DecayMode&,const Particle&,Step&) function rather than the decay(const DecayMode&,const Particle&) function.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Decayer.

Referenced by RemnantDecayer().

◆ operator=()

RemnantDecayer& ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::operator= ( const RemnantDecayer )
privatedelete

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

◆ persistentInput()

void ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::persistentInput ( PersistentIStream is,
int  version 
)

Function used to read in object persistently.

Parameters
isthe persistent input stream read from.
versionthe version number of the object when written.

◆ persistentOutput()

void ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::persistentOutput ( PersistentOStream os) const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters
