Detailed Description

RandomGenerator is an interface to the CLHEP::RandomEngine classes.

To avoid excessive virtual function calls, the RandomGenerator caches random numbers generated by the engine which are then retrieved by the non-virtual inlined rnd() method.

Sub-classes of RandomGenerator should be used to implement a particular random engine.

RandomGenerator only provides a flat distribution between 0 and

Any other distribution can be achieved using the CLHEP random classes using the engine returned from the randomGenerator() method.

References rnd().

◆ operator()() [2/3]

double ThePEG::RandomGenerator::operator() ( double N )

inline

Return a (possibly cached) flat integer random number in the interval \([0,N[\).

Function was introduced since otherwise operator()() is used if a double is given resulting in a \(]0,1[\) distribution.

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters

os	the persistent output stream written to.

Uses rnd(). Also uses push_back(double).

◆ push_back()

void ThePEG::RandomGenerator::push_back ( double r )

inline

Give back a partly unused random number.

This is typically used when generating integral random numbers. In eg. rndbool(double p) a random number r is drawn and if it is less than p true is returned, but r is still a good random number in the interval ]0,p[. Hence r/p is still a good random number in the interval ]0,1[ and this is then pushed back into the cache and is used by the next call to rnd(). Note that the resulting random number is of lesser quality, and successive calls to push_back() should be avoided. To ensure a highest quality random number random number in the next call to rnd(), pop_back() should be used.
