Detailed Description

FlavourGenerator is an abstract base class to be used to implement models describing the quark content of hadrons.

FlavourGenerator inherits from the HandlerBase class.

The interface is based on the flavour generation implementation in Pythia but is general enough to be used in other situations. The main virtual functions to be overridden in subclasses are generateHadron(tcPDPtr), getHadron(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr), getHadron(long, long) getBaryon(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr), getBaryon(long, long, long), selectQuark() and selectFlavour(). In this base class the getHadron(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr) and getHadron(long, long) are implemented to call eachother, so a subclass must implement at least one of them. The same thing is true for getBaryon(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr) and getBaryon(long, long, long)

Member Function Documentation

◆ generateHadron()

virtual tcPDPair ThePEG::FlavourGenerator::generateHadron ( tcPDPtr  quark) const
pure virtual

Generate a hadron from a quark.

Given a quark(antiquark, diquark or antidiquark), choose a quark-antiquark (or antidiquark-diquark) pair. Return (first) a hadron formed by the original quark and the antiquark together with (second) the generated quark. Returns null pointers if the generation failed.

Parameters
quarka quark, antiquark, diquark or antidiquark.
Returns
a pair of ParticleData pointers. The first is the hadron produced and the second is the anti-partner of the (anti-)(di-)quark generated to form the hadron.

Implemented in ThePEG::SimpleFlavour.

◆ getBaryon() [1/2]

virtual tcPDPtr ThePEG::FlavourGenerator::getBaryon ( tcPDPtr  q1,
tcPDPtr  q2,
tcPDPtr  q3 
) const
virtual

Return a baryon with the flavour content given by the (anti)quarks in the argument.

The arguments are given as particle data pointers. The default versions will call getBaryon(long, long, long). If no corresponding hadron was formed it should return the null pointer.

Parameters
q1the first flavour.
q2the second flavour.
q3the third flavour.
Returns
the corresponding baryon type or null if none could be generated.

◆ getBaryon() [2/2]

virtual tcPDPtr ThePEG::FlavourGenerator::getBaryon ( long  q1,
long  q2,
long  q3 
) const
virtual

Return a baryon with the flavour content given by the (anti)quarks in the argument.

The arguments are given as particle data pointers. The default versions will call getBaryon(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr). If no corresponding hadron was formed it should return the null pointer.

Parameters
q1the PDG code of the first flavour.
q2the PDG code of the second flavour.
q3the PDG code of the third flavour.
Returns
the corresponding baryon type or null if none could be generated.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SimpleFlavour.

tcPDPtr  q2

virtual

Get hadron from flavours.

Return a hadron with the flavour content given by the (anti-)(di-)quarks in the argument. The arguments are given as ParticleData pointers. The default versions will call the getHadron(long, long).

q1the first flavour.
q2the second flavour.
Returns
the corresponding hadron type or null if none could be generated.

◆ getHadron() [2/2]

virtual tcPDPtr ThePEG::FlavourGenerator::getHadron ( long  iq1,
long  iq2 
) const
virtual

Get hadron from flavours.

Return a hadron with the flavour content given by the (anti-)(di-)quarks in the argument. The arguments are given as PDG codes. The default versions will call the getHadron(tcPDPtr, tcPDPtr).

Parameters
iq1the PDG code of the first flavour.
iq2the PDG code of the second flavour.
Returns
the corresponding hadron type or null if none could be generated.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SimpleFlavour.

◆ persistentInput()

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

Function used to write out object persistently.
