Detailed Description

The AnalysisHandler is the base class of all analysis objects which may be handled by the FullEventGenerator.

The main function is the virtual analyze() method which which is called for each analysis handler after each event. The method may be called several times for each event - this may be checked by the analysis handler by looking at the ieve, loop and state arguments to the analyze method.

Initialization of histograms etc. should be made in the doinitrun() function, while writing out of histograms and analysis results should be performed in the dofinish() function.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::analyze ( tEventPtr  event,
long  ieve,
int  loop,
int  state 
) [virtual]

Analyze a given Event.

Note that a fully generated event may be presented several times, if it has been manipulated in between. The default version of this function will extract all final state particles, temporarily boost them according to the transform(tEventPtr) function and call analyze(tPVector) of this analysis object and those of all associated analysis objects. The default version will not, however, do anything on events which have not been fully generated, or have been manipulated in any way.

Parameters:
event pointer to the Event to be analyzed.
ieve the event number.
loop the number of times this event has been presented. If negative the event is now fully generated.
state a number different from zero if the event has been manipulated in some way since it was last presented.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::GraphvizPlot, ThePEG::HepMCFile, ThePEG::RivetAnalysis, and ThePEG::XSecCheck.

virtual LorentzRotation ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::transform ( tEventPtr  event  )  const [virtual]

Transform the event to the desired Lorentz frame and return the corresponding LorentzRotation.

Parameters:
event a pointer to the Event to be transformed.
Returns:
the LorentzRotation used in the transformation.

virtual void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::analyze ( const tPVector particles  )  [virtual]

Analyze the given vector of particles.

The default version calls analyze(tPPtr) for each of the particles.

Parameters:
particles the vector of pointers to particles to be analyzed

virtual void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::analyze ( tPPtr  particle  )  [virtual]

Analyze the given particle.

Parameters:
particle pointer to the particle to be analyzed.

bool ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::checkHistogramFactory ( bool  warn = false  )  const

Check if the associated EventGenerator has been assigned a histogram factory.

If warn is true also emit a warning saying that no histograms will be generated.

void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::normalize ( tH1DPtr  h,
CrossSection  unit = picobarn 
) const

Normalize the histogran h using the collected statistics from the EventGenerator.

If the histogram has been filled with the Event::weight() as weight a plotted function will correspond to a proper cross section distribution in units of unit. This only works for evenly binned histograms. If not evenly binned, nothing will be done.

void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::persistentOutput ( PersistentOStream os  )  const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters:
os the persistent output stream written to.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Interfaced.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::GraphvizPlot, ThePEG::HepMCFile, ThePEG::RivetAnalysis, and ThePEG::XSecCheck.

void ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::persistentInput ( PersistentIStream is,
int  version 
)

Function used to read in object persistently.

Parameters:
is the persistent input stream read from.
version the version number of the object when written.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::Interfaced.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::GraphvizPlot, ThePEG::HepMCFile, ThePEG::RivetAnalysis, and ThePEG::XSecCheck.

virtual IBPtr ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::clone (  )  const [protected, virtual]

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns:
a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::GraphvizPlot, ThePEG::HepMCFile, ThePEG::RivetAnalysis, and ThePEG::XSecCheck.

virtual IBPtr ThePEG::AnalysisHandler::fullclone (  )  const [protected, virtual]

Make a clone of this object, possibly modifying the cloned object to make it sane.

Returns:
a pointer to the new object.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

Reimplemented in ThePEG::GraphvizPlot, ThePEG::HepMCFile, ThePEG::RivetAnalysis, and ThePEG::XSecCheck.
