Detailed Description

SubCollision represents a possible collision between a projectile and a target nucleon.

Member Enumeration Documentation

This defines the type of a binary nucleon collison.

Enumerator
ELASTIC 

This is not a collision.

SDEP 

This is an elastic scattering.

SDET 

The projectile is diffractively excited.

DDE 

The target is diffractively excited.

CDE 

Both projectile and target are diffractively excited.

ABS 

Both excited but with central diffraction.

This is an absorptive (non-diffractive) collision.

Member Function Documentation

int nucleons ( ) const
inline

Return 0 if neither proj or target are neutrons, 1 if target is neutron, 2 if projectile is neutron, and 3 if both are neutrons.

Member Data Documentation

double bp

The impact parameter distance between the nucleons scaled like in Pythia to have unit average for non-diffractive collisions.
