Detailed Description

The ShowerModel class is a container for all the objects needed to implement a specific model of the shower evolution, as opposed to those which are independent of the evolution.

In general there are four types of object

• The KinematicsReconstructor object which is responsible for reconstruction of the shower kinematics after the evolution.
• The PartnerFinder which is responsible for finding the partner and setting the initial evolution scale
• A vector of SudakovFormFactor objects which will usually all be instances of a class implementing the SudakovFormFactor for a specific model with different splitting functions for different branchings

For each model the checkConsistency member must be implemented to check that the correct objects for the model are used.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Herwig::ShowerModel::doinit

(

)

[protected, virtual]

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

Exceptions:

InitException

if object could not be initialized properly.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

static void Herwig::ShowerModel::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.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Interfaced.

Reimplemented in Herwig::QTildeModel.

tKinematicsReconstructorPtr Herwig::ShowerModel::kinematicsReconstructor

(

)

const [inline]

Access methods to access the objects.

Access to the KinematicsReconstructor object

Definition at line 56 of file ShowerModel.h.

ShowerModel& Herwig::ShowerModel::operator=

(

const ShowerModel &

)

[private]

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

void Herwig::ShowerModel::persistentInput	(	PersistentIStream &	is,
		int	version
	)

Function used to read in object persistently.

Parameters:

is	the persistent input stream read from.
version	the version number of the object when written.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Interfaced.

void Herwig::ShowerModel::persistentOutput

(

PersistentOStream &

os

)

const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters:

os	the persistent output stream written to.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Interfaced.
