Detailed Description

This is the abstract base class from which all other shower kinematics classes derive.

The main purpose of the shower kinematics classes is to allow the reconstruction of jet masses, at the end of the showering (indeed, for multi-scale showering, at the end of each scale-range evolution). This is necessary for the kinematics reshuffling in order to compensate the recoil of the emissions. The KinematicsReconstructor class is in charge of this job, and which is the main "user" of ShowerKinematics and its derived classes. How this is done depends on the choice of kinematics variables and whether the jet is time-like (forward evolved) or space-like (backward evolved), whereas the class ShowerKinematics describes only the common features which are independent by them.

In general there are a number of methods specific to a shower approach

Member Function Documentation

◆ operator=()

ShowerKinematics& Herwig::ShowerKinematics::operator= ( const ShowerKinematics )
privatedelete

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

◆ reconstructChildren()

virtual void Herwig::ShowerKinematics::reconstructChildren ( const tShowerParticlePtr  parent,
const ShowerParticleVector children 
) const
virtual

The reconstructLast, reconstructChildren and reconstructParent members are used during the reconstruction.

Along with the showering evolution — going forward for time-like (forward) evolution, and going backward for space-like (backward) evolution — the kinematical variables of the branching products are calculated and updated from the knowledge of the parent kinematics.

Parameters
parentThe parent
childrenThe children

◆ reconstructLast()

virtual void Herwig::ShowerKinematics::reconstructLast ( const tShowerParticlePtr  last,
Energy  mass = -1.*GeV 
) const
virtual

Update the kinematical data of a particle when a reconstruction fixpoint was found.

This will highly depend on the kind of kinematics chosen and will be defined in the inherited concrete classes. This method will be used by the KinematicsReconstructor.

Parameters
lastThe particle.
massThe mass to be used, if less than zero on-shell

Reimplemented in Herwig::FS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2, and Herwig::Decay_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2.

◆ reconstructParent()

virtual void Herwig::ShowerKinematics::reconstructParent ( const tShowerParticlePtr  parent,
const ParticleVector children 
) const
virtual

Reconstruct the parent Kinematics from the knowledge of the kinematics of the children.

This method will be used by the KinematicsReconstructor.

Parameters
parentThe parent
childrenThe children

Reimplemented in Herwig::FS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2, Herwig::IS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2, and Herwig::Decay_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2.

◆ scale()

Energy Herwig::ShowerKinematics::scale ( ) const
inline

Set/Get methods for the kinematic variables.

Access the scale of the splitting.

◆ splittingFn()

tSplittingFnPtr Herwig::ShowerKinematics::splittingFn ( ) const
inline

Set and get methods for the SplittingFunction object.

Access the SplittingFunction object responsible of the eventual branching of this particle.

◆ updateChildren()

virtual void Herwig::ShowerKinematics::updateChildren ( const tShowerParticlePtr  parent,
const ShowerParticleVector children,
ShowerPartnerType  partnerType 
) const
virtual

The updateChildren and updateParent members to update the values of the $\alpha$ and $p_\perp$ variables during the shower evolution.

Along with the showering evolution — going forward for time-like (forward) evolution, and going backward for space-like (backward) evolution — the kinematical variables of the branching products are calculated and updated from the knowledge of the parent kinematics.

Parameters
parentThe parent
childrenThe children
partnerTypeThe type of evolution partner

Reimplemented in Herwig::FS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2, Herwig::IS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2, and Herwig::Decay_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2.

◆ updateLast()

virtual void Herwig::ShowerKinematics::updateLast ( const tShowerParticlePtr  last,
Energy  px,
Energy  py 
) const
virtual

Update the kinematical data of a particle when a reconstruction fixpoint was found.

This will highly depend on the kind of kinematics chosen and will be defined in the inherited concrete classes. This method will be used by the KinematicsReconstructor.

Parameters
lastThe particle.
pxThe $x$ component of the $p_T$.
pyThe $y$ component of the $p_T$.

Reimplemented in Herwig::IS_QTildeShowerKinematics1to2.

childrenThe children
partnerTypeThe type of evolution partner
