Detailed Description

Helicity matrix element for a tau decaying into a single scalar meson.

Member Function Documentation

void initConstants ( )
virtual

Tau decay matrix element for tau decay into a single scalar meson.

The maximum decay weight for this matrix element can be found analytically to be 4 * m_tau^2 * (m_tau^2 - m_meson^2). However, because m_tau >> m_meson for the relevant tau decay channels, this expression is approximated by m_tau^4. Initialize constants for the helicity matrix element.

Reimplemented from HelicityMatrixElement.
