Detailed Description

The O2AlphaS class is the implementation of the two-loop $\alpha_S$ in the same way as in FORTRAN HERWIG.

The input value of $\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$ is in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme and can either be converted to a Monte Carlo scheme, as in the FORTRAN program, or left in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme to evaluate the running coupling

Member Function Documentation

◆ clone()

virtual IBPtr Herwig::O2AlphaS::clone ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns
a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

Definition at line 99 of file O2AlphaS.h.

◆ doinit()

virtual void Herwig::O2AlphaS::doinit ( )
protectedvirtual

Initialize this object after the setup phase before saving an EventGenerator to disk.

Exceptions
InitExceptionif object could not be initialized properly.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::AlphaSBase.

◆ flavourThresholds()

virtual vector<Energy2> Herwig::O2AlphaS::flavourThresholds ( ) const
virtual

Return the flavour thresholds used.

The returned vector contains (in position i) the scales when the active number of flavours changes from i to i+1.

Implements ThePEG::AlphaSBase.

◆ fullclone()

virtual IBPtr Herwig::O2AlphaS::fullclone ( ) const
inlineprotectedvirtual

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.

Definition at line 105 of file O2AlphaS.h.

◆ Init()

static void Herwig::O2AlphaS::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.

◆ operator=()

O2AlphaS& Herwig::O2AlphaS::operator= ( const O2AlphaS )
privatedelete

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

◆ persistentInput()

void Herwig::O2AlphaS::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::O2AlphaS::persistentOutput ( PersistentOStream os) const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters
osthe persistent output stream written to.

◆ value()

virtual double Herwig::O2AlphaS::value ( Energy2  scale,
const StandardModelBase sm 
) const
virtual

The $\alpha_S$.

Return the QCD coupling for a given scale using the given standard model object sm.

Implements ThePEG::RunningCoupling.
