Detailed Description

The ResonanceDecays class handles the sequential decay of resonances that are part of the hard process (t, W, Z, H, SUSY,...).

Member Function Documentation

bool next ( Event process,
int  iDecNow = 0 
)

Generate the next decay sequence.

Loop over all entries to find resonances that should decay. (Except for iDecNow > 0, where only it will be handled.)

Fill the decaying particle in slot 0 of arrays.

Mother flavour - relevant for gamma*/Z0 mixing. (Not always??)

Prepare decay selection.

Pick a decay channel; allow up to ten tries.

Pick decay channel. Find multiplicity.

Read out flavours.

Pick masses. Pick new channel if fail.

Failed to find acceptable decays.

Select colours in decay.

Select four-momenta in decay, boosted to lab frame.

Append decay products to the process event record. Set lifetimes.

Set decay vertex when this is displaced.

Set lifetime of daughters.

Modify mother status and daughters.

End of loop over all entries.

Done.
