Detailed Description

This class performs the decay of light clusters into a single hadron.

Author
Philip Stephens
Alberto Ribon

This is the class that performs the decay of light clusters into only one hadron. The major difficulty is that a kinematical reshuffling is necessary, between the cluster under consideration and its "neighbouring" clusters, to conserve energy-momentum in one-body decay. Notice that, differently from what happens in Fortran Herwig, light (that is below the threshold for the production of the lightest pair of hadrons with the proper flavours) fission products, produced by the fission of heavy clusters in ClusterFissioner have been already "decayed" into single hadron (the lightest one with proper flavour) by the same latter class, without require any reshuffling. Therefore the light clusters that are treated in this LightClusterDecayer class are produced directly (originally) by the ClusterFinder.

Notice:

  • The choice of the candidate cluster with whom to reshuffle momentum is based on the minimal space-time distance from the light cluster.
  • An alternate choice of what is considered a "neighbour" could be implemented but was not considered for Herwig.

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual IBPtr Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::clone ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns
a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

◆ decay()

bool Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::decay ( ClusterVector clusters,
tPVector finalhadrons 
)

This method does the decay of light hadron in one hadron.

This method requires a kinematical reshuffling for energy-momentum conservation. This is done explicitly by the (private) method reshuffling().

◆ fullclone()

virtual IBPtr Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::fullclone ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Make a clone of this object, possibly modifying the cloned object to make it sane.

Returns
a pointer to the new object.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

◆ partonicReshuffle()

bool Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::partonicReshuffle ( const tcPDPtr  hadron,
const PPtr  cluster,
tPVector finalhadrons 
)
private

This (private) method, called by decay(), performs reshuffling in the special case of a semileptonic partonic b/c decay.

Parameters
hadronThe hadron to be produced
clusterThe cluster to be reshuffled
finalhadronsThe vector of outgoing hadrons

◆ persistentInput()

void Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::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 Herwig::LightClusterDecayer::persistentOutput ( PersistentOStream os) const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters
osthe persistent output stream written to.
