Detailed Description

The WeakPartonicDecayer class is designed to replace the HeavyDecayer class which implements the partonic decays of hadrons containing a heavy quark in the same way as in FORTRAN Herwig.

There are a number of major changes

  • The helicity formalism is used for the decays so that the $\tau$ lepton gets the correct correlations.
  • The particles produced directly by the hadronisation, i.e. the primary hadrons produced in cluster decay are checked to ensure that none of the exclusive modes are reproduced.
  • Two body modes are allowed to try and force baryon production etc. In this case the colours of the partons are connected.
  • Three body modes of the form $q g \bar{q}$ are supported for penguin mediated weak decays.

    Two types of matrix element are supported for this decay

    • MECode=0 flat-phase space.
    • MECode=100 V-A matrix element for the heavy quark decay in the spectator model.

    In addition for the two-body decays and the three-bopdy spectator decays using the weka V-A matrix element the option of adding an extra gluon to increase the multiplicity of hadrons is included
