Detailed Description

HeavyIons contains several standard Pythia objects to allow for the combination of different kinds of nucleon-nucleon events into a heavy ion collision event. The actual model for doing this must be implemented in a subclass overriding the the virtual'init()' and 'next()' functions.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HeavyIons ( Pythia mainPythiaIn)
inline

The constructor needs a reference to the main Pythia object to which it will belong. A HeavyIons object cannot belong to more than one main Pythia object.

Member Function Documentation

void addSpecialSettings ( Settings settings)
static

The abstract HeavyIons class.

Static function to allow Pythia to duplicate some setting names to be used for secondary Pythia objects.

Before doing anything Pythia should add special heavy ion versions for some groups of settings.

void clearProcessLevel ( Pythia pyt)
protected

If subclasses has additional Pythia objects for generating minimum bias nucleon collisions and the main Pythia object is set up to generated a hard signal process, this function can be used to clear all selected processes in a clone of the main Pythia object.

Reset all process level settings in the given Pythia object. NOTE must be expanded if new process groups are included in Pythia.

NOTE! if new processes are added in separate xml files these have to be added here.

virtual bool init ( )
pure virtual

Virtual function to be implemented in a subclass. This will be called in the beginning of the Pythia::init function if the mode HeavyIon:mode is set non zero. The return value should be true if this object is able to handle the requested collision type. If false Pythia::init will set HeavyIon:mode to zero but will try to cope anyway.

Implemented in Angantyr.

bool isHeavyIon ( Settings settings)
static

Check the settings and return false of there are no heavy ion beams.

Return true if the beams in the Primary Pythia object contains heavy ions.

virtual bool next ( )
pure virtual

Virtual function to be implemented in a subclass. This will be called in the beginning of the Pythia::next function if HeavyIon:mode is set non zero. After the call, Pythia::next will return immediately with the return value of this function.

Implemented in Angantyr.

void setupSpecials ( Pythia p,
string  match 
)
staticprotected

Copy settings on the form HImatch: to the corresponding match: in the given Pythia object.

void stat ( )
virtual

Print out statistics.

Print out statistics from a HeavyIons run.

bool showPaL = settings.flag("Stat:showPartonLevel");

Header.

Listing finished.

void updateInfo ( )
protected

Update the Info object in the main Pythia object.

Update the cross section in the main Pythia Info object using information in the hiInfo object.

Member Data Documentation

HIUserHooksPtr HIHooksPtr
protected

Optional HIUserHooks object able to modify the behavior of the HeavyIon model.

HIInfo hiInfo

The HIInfo object contains information about the last generated heavy ion event as well as overall statistics of the generated events.

vector<Info*> info
protected

The Info objects associated to the secondary the secondary pythia objects.

Pythia* mainPythiaPtr
protected

This is the pointer to the main Pythia object to which this object is assigned.

vector<Pythia *> pythia
protected

The internal Pythia objects. Index zero will always correspond to the mainPythiaPtr.

SigmaTotal sigTotNN
protected

Object containing information on inclusive pp cross sections to be used in Glauber calculations in subclasses.
