Detailed Description

HandlerGroupBase is the base class for the templated HandlerGroup utility class to manage a group of StepHandlers.

The derived StepHandler has a main StepHandler (CascadeHandler, MultipleInteractionHandler, HadronizationHandler or DecayHandler) while this bease class has a list of pre-hadlers and a list of post-handlers.

The HandlerGroup class is used in the EventHandler and SubProcessHandler to manage the post-sub-process handler, the cascade, multiple interaction, hadronization and decay handler groups. When an event is generated, after the main sub-process is performed, all handler groups are processed in turn. In each group the pre-hadnlers are run first, followed by the main handler (which may be run several times is more than one Hint has been specified) and finally the post-handlers are run.

When a group is initialised before each run, an auxilliary HandlerGroupBase object may be specified to override the default handlers in this group.

Member Function Documentation

void ThePEG::HandlerGroupBase::addPreHandler ( tStepHdlPtr  sh,
tHintPtr  hint,
const HandlerGroupBase ext 
)

Add a step handler, sh to the current list of pre-handlers.

Optionally a hint may be specified. If the main handler has already been executed, the object is reinitialized using ext to override defaults.

void ThePEG::HandlerGroupBase::addPostHandler ( tStepHdlPtr  sh,
tHintPtr  hint,
const HandlerGroupBase  
)

Add a step handler, sh, to the current list of post-handlers.

Optionally a hint may be specified. If the main handler has already been executed, the object is reinitialized using ext to override defaults.

void ThePEG::HandlerGroupBase::addHint ( tHintPtr  hint,
const HandlerGroupBase ext 
)

Add a hint to the currently selected main handler.

If the main handler has already been executed, the object is reinitialized using ext to override defaults.

virtual void ThePEG::HandlerGroupBase::refillDefaultHandler ( tStepHdlPtr   )  [pure virtual]

void ThePEG::HandlerGroupBase::refillDefaults ( const HandlerGroupBase  ) 

Fill main, pre- and post- handlers with the default ones.

The default handlers in the argument takes precedence to this.
