Member Function Documentation

virtual IBPtr Herwig::MEMinBias::clone ( ) const [protected, virtual]

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns:
a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

virtual Selector<const ColourLines *> Herwig::MEMinBias::colourGeometries ( tcDiagPtr  diag) const [virtual]

Return a Selector with possible colour geometries for the selected diagram weighted by their relative probabilities.

Parameters:
diagthe diagram chosen.
Returns:
the possible colour geometries weighted by their relative probabilities.

Implements ThePEG::MEBase.

virtual Selector<DiagramIndex> Herwig::MEMinBias::diagrams ( const DiagramVector dv) const [virtual]

Get diagram selector.

With the information previously supplied with the setKinematics method, a derived class may optionally override this method to weight the given diagrams with their (although certainly not physical) relative probabilities.

Parameters:
dvthe diagrams to be weighted.
Returns:
a Selector relating the given diagrams to their weights.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::MEBase.

virtual IBPtr Herwig::MEMinBias::fullclone ( ) const [protected, virtual]

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.

virtual bool Herwig::MEMinBias::generateKinematics ( const double *  r) [virtual]

Generate internal degrees of freedom given nDim() uniform random numbers in the interval $ ]0,1[ $.

To help the phase space generator, the dSigHatDR should be a smooth function of these numbers, although this is not strictly necessary.

Parameters:
ra pointer to the first of nDim() consecutive random numbers.
Returns:
true if the generation succeeded, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from Herwig::HwMEBase.

static void Herwig::MEMinBias::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 Herwig::HwMEBase.

virtual double Herwig::MEMinBias::me2 ( ) const [virtual]

The matrix element for the kinematical configuration previously provided by the last call to setKinematics(), suitably scaled by sHat() to give a dimension-less number.

Returns:
the matrix element scaled with sHat() to give a dimensionless number.

Implements ThePEG::MEBase.

MEMinBias& Herwig::MEMinBias::operator= ( const MEMinBias ) [private]

The assignment operator is private and must never be called.

In fact, it should not even be implemented.

virtual void Herwig::MEMinBias::setKinematics ( ) [virtual]

Set the typed and momenta of the incoming and outgoing partons to be used in subsequent calls to me() and colourGeometries() according to the associated XComb object.

If the function is overridden in a sub class the new function must call the base class one first.

Reimplemented from Herwig::HwMEBase.
