Detailed Description

The MENCDIS class implements the $e^\pm q\rightarrow e^\pm q$ matrix element.

Both the gamma and $Z^0$ terms as well as the interference term is included. Although not a strict QCD matrix element the class inherits from ME2to2QCD, mainly to inherit the parameter for the number of active quark flavours.

virtual unsigned int ThePEG::MENCDIS::orderInAlphaS ( ) const [virtual]

Return the order in $\alpha_S$ in which this matrix element is given.

Returns .

Reimplemented from ThePEG::ME2to2QCD.

virtual unsigned int ThePEG::MENCDIS::orderInAlphaEW ( ) const [virtual]

Return the order in $\alpha_{EM}$ in which this matrix element is given.

Returns 2.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::ME2to2QCD.

virtual double ThePEG::MENCDIS::me2 ( ) const [virtual]

The matrix element for the kinematical configuration previously provided by the last call to setKinematics(), suitably scaled by sHat() to give a dimension-less number.

Returns:: the matrix element scaled with sHat() to give a dimensionless number.

Implements ThePEG::MEBase.

virtual Selector<const ColourLines *> ThePEG::MENCDIS::colourGeometries ( tcDiagPtr diag ) const [virtual]

Return a Selector with possible colour geometries for the selected diagram weighted by their relative probabilities.

Parameters:

diag

the diagram chosen.

Returns:: the possible colour geometries weighted by their relative probabilities.

Implements ThePEG::MEBase.

virtual Selector<DiagramIndex> ThePEG::MENCDIS::diagrams ( const DiagramVector & dv ) const [virtual]

Get diagram selector.

With the information previously supplied with the setKinematics method, a derived class may optionally override this method to weight the given diagrams with their (although certainly not physical) relative probabilities.

Parameters:

dv

the diagrams to be weighted.

Returns:: a Selector relating the given diagrams to their weights.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::MEBase.

void ThePEG::MENCDIS::persistentOutput ( PersistentOStream & os ) const

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters:

os

the persistent output stream written to.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::ME2to2QCD.

void ThePEG::MENCDIS::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::ME2to2QCD.

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

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns:: a pointer to the new object.

Implements ThePEG::InterfacedBase.

virtual IBPtr ThePEG::MENCDIS::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.

virtual void ThePEG::MENCDIS::doinit ( ) [protected, virtual]

Initialize this object after the setup phase before saving an EventGenerator to disk.

Exceptions:

InitException

if object could not be initialized properly.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::InterfacedBase.
