Detailed Description

The StringRegion class contains the information related to one string section in the evolution of a multiparton system. Only to be used inside StringFragmentation and MiniStringFragmentation, so no private members.

Vec4 gluonOffset ( vector< int > &  iSys,
Event event,
int  iPos,
int  iNeg 
)

Calculate offset of the region from parton list. Special junction case.

Calculate offset of the region due to presence of gluons from parton list.

Half sum of all intervening gluon momenta.

Vec4 gluonOffsetJRF ( vector< int > &  iSys,
Event event,
int  iPos,
int  iNeg,
RotBstMatrix  MtoJRF 
)

Calculate offset when calculation needed in junction rest frame.

Half sum of all intervening gluon momenta, boosted to junction rest frame.

bool massiveOffset ( int  iPos,
int  iNeg,
int  iMax,
int  id1,
int  id2,
double  mc,
double  mb 
)

If massive case, the offset of the initial regions is calculated.

Calculate offset if system contains c or b quarks, where the location of energy-momentum-picture breakup points in the initial regions are shifted with respect to the origin, to be removed for the space-time vertices.

Done if not in either of endpoint regions or no massive endpoint quark.

Calculate the offset of initial-region massive endpoint quark.

void project ( Vec4  pIn)

Project a four-momentum onto (x+, x-, px, py). Read out projection.

Project a four-momentum onto (x+, x-, px, py).

Perform projections by four-vector multiplication.

void setUp ( Vec4  p1,
Vec4  p2,
int  col1,
int  col2,
bool  isMassless = false 
)

Set up four-vectors for longitudinal and transverse directions.

Store the original four-momenta; needed for the massive-quark case.

Simple case: the two incoming four-vectors guaranteed massless.

Calculate w2, minimum value. Lightcone directions = input.

Else allow possibility of masses for incoming partons (also gluons!).

Generic four-momentum combinations.

If crazy kinematics (should not happen!) modify energies.

If still small invariant mass then empty region (e.g. in gg system).

Find two lightconelike longitudinal four-vector directions.

Find two spacelike transverse four-vector directions. Begin by picking two sensible trial directions.

Then construct orthogonal linear combinations.

Remember colour indices.

Done.

Constants: could only be changed in the code itself.

The StringRegion class.

Currently a number of simplifications, in particular ?? 1) No popcorn baryon production. 2) Simplified treatment of pT in stepping and joining. Constants: could be changed here if desired, but normally should not. These are of technical nature, as described for each. If a string region is smaller thsan this it is assumed empty.
