Detailed Description

ShowerModel is the base class for handling parton-shower algorithms, including merging methods.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool init ( MergingPtr  mergPtrIn,
MergingHooksPtr  mergHooksPtrIn,
PartonVertexPtr  partonVertexPtrIn,
WeightContainer weightContainerPtrIn 
)
pure virtual

Function called from Pythia after the basic pointers has been set. Derived classes should create objects of the specific model objects to be used. Pointers to merging and merging hooks may be overwritten in derived classes.

Implemented in Dire, SimpleShowerModel, and Vincia.

virtual bool initAfterBeams ( )
pure virtual

Function called from Pythia after the beam particles have been set up, so that showers may be initialized after the beams are initialized.

Implemented in Dire, SimpleShowerModel, and Vincia.
