Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ RemnantHandler()

ThePEG::RemnantHandler::RemnantHandler ( bool  multi = false)

Default constructor.

If multi is true the derived class can be used to extract more than one parton.

Member Function Documentation

◆ canHandle()

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantHandler::canHandle ( tcPDPtr  particle,
const cPDVector partons 
) const
pure virtual

Return true if this remnant handler can handle extracting all specified partons from the given particle.

Implemented in ThePEG::SoftRemnantHandler, ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant, and ThePEG::NoRemnants.

◆ generate() [1/2]

virtual Lorentz5Momentum ThePEG::RemnantHandler::generate ( PartonBinInstance pb,
const double *  r,
Energy2  scale,
const LorentzMomentum parent,
bool  fixedPartonMomentum = false 
) const
pure virtual

Generate the momentum of the extracted parton with the parent momentum given by the last argument.

If the scale is negative, it means that the doScale in the previous call to nDim() was true, otherwise the given scale should be the virtuality of the extracted parton. Generated quantities which are not returned in the momentum may be saved in the PartonBinInstance, pb, for later use. In particular, if the nDim() random numbers, r, are not enough to generate with weight one, the resulting weight should be stored with the remnantWeight() method of the parton bin.

Implemented in ThePEG::NoRemnants, ThePEG::SoftRemnantHandler, and ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant.

◆ generate() [2/2]

virtual Lorentz5Momentum ThePEG::RemnantHandler::generate ( PartonBinInstance pb,
const double *  r,
Energy2  scale,
Energy2  shat,
const LorentzMomentum parent,
bool  fixedPartonMomentum = false 
) const
pure virtual

Generate the momentum of the extracted parton with the parent momentum given by the last argument.

If the scale is negative, it means that the doScale in the previous call to nDim() was true, otherwise the given scale should be the virtuality of the extracted parton. shat is the total invariant mass squared of the hard sub-system produced by the extracted parton and the primary parton entering from the other side. Generated quantities which are not returned in the momentum may be saved in the PartonBinInstance, pb, for later use. In particular, if the nDim() random numbers, r, are not enough to generate with weight one, the resulting weight should be stored with the remnantWeight() method of the parton bin.

Implemented in ThePEG::NoRemnants, ThePEG::SoftRemnantHandler, and ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant.

◆ multiCapable()

bool ThePEG::RemnantHandler::multiCapable ( ) const
inline

Return true if this remnant handler is able to handle multiple extractions of partons from the same particle.

Definition at line 143 of file RemnantHandler.h.

References isMultiCapable.

◆ nDim()

virtual int ThePEG::RemnantHandler::nDim ( const PartonBin pb,
bool  doScale 
) const
virtual

If the generation of remnants is expected to influence the actual cross section of the hard sub process, the degrees of freedom generated by this remnant handler may be included in the general phase space sampling for the subprocess.

In this case this function should be overridden to return the number of degrees of freedom used in the generation. If doScale is false, it means that the actual virtuality of the extracted parton will be obtained from another source.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant.

◆ persistentInput()

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

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters
osthe persistent output stream written to.

◆ recreateRemnants() [1/2]

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantHandler::recreateRemnants ( PartonBinInstance pb,
tPPtr  oldp,
tPPtr  newp,
double  newl,
Energy2  scale,
const LorentzMomentum p,
const PVector prev = PVector() 
) const
virtual

Redo the remnant generation for the given particle bin, pb.

If oldp is non-null it corresponds to the previously extracted parton which should be replaced by newp. If oldp is null it means newp should be extracted in addition to the previously extracted ones available in prev.

Returns
false if the generation failed.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SoftRemnantHandler, and ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant.

◆ recreateRemnants() [2/2]

virtual bool ThePEG::RemnantHandler::recreateRemnants ( PartonBinInstance pb,
tPPtr  oldp,
tPPtr  newp,
double  newl,
Energy2  scale,
Energy2  shat,
const LorentzMomentum p,
const PVector prev = PVector() 
) const
virtual

Redo the remnant generation for the given particle bin, pb.

If oldp is non-null it corresponds to the previously extracted parton which should be replaced by newp. If oldp is null it means newp should be extracted in addition to the previously extracted ones available in prev. In either case shat is the total invariant mass squared of the hard sub-system produced by the extracted parton and the primary parton entering from the other side.

Returns
false if the generation failed.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::SoftRemnantHandler, and ThePEG::UnResolvedRemnant.
