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.

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.

◆ canHandle()

tcPPtr  extracted,
const LorentzMomentum pnew

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.

◆ data()

tRemPDPtr ThePEG::RemnantDecayer::data ( tcRemPPtr  remnant) const
inlineprotected

Access the RemnantData object of a remnant.

◆ decay() [1/2]

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

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

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.

Implemented in ThePEG::SimpleBaryonRemnantDecayer.

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.

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.

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