Detailed Description

The WeakToHadronsDecayer class inherits from QuarksToHadronsDecayer and can performs weak decays of taus and charmed and bottom hadrons.

The intermediate W can either decay leptonically in which case standard V-A matrix element is used, or it can decay into quarks in which case the conversion into quarks is performed as for the QuarkToHadronsDecayer base class. In both cases the W decay products should be specified first. The spectator system can either be specified in terms of hadrons or in terms of quarks which will be collapsed into a single hadron.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool ThePEG::WeakToHadronsDecayer::accept ( const DecayMode dm  )  const [virtual]

Check if this decayer can perfom the decay specified by the given decay mode.

Parameters:
dm the DecayMode describing the decay.
Returns:
true if this decayer can handle the given mode, otherwise false.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

virtual double ThePEG::WeakToHadronsDecayer::reweight ( const Particle parent,
const PVector children 
) const [virtual]

Called by QuarksToHadronsDecayer::distribute() to reweight the default flat phase spece.

Can be overridden by sub-classes and should return a number between 0 and 1. This version returns 1.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

virtual PVector ThePEG::WeakToHadronsDecayer::getHadrons ( int  Nh,
tcPDVector  quarks 
) const [virtual]

Produce Nh hadrons from the specified quarks.

The last quark is considered to be a spectator quark.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

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

Function used to write out object persistently.

Parameters:
os the persistent output stream written to.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

void ThePEG::WeakToHadronsDecayer::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::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

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

Make a simple clone of this object.

Returns:
a pointer to the new object.

Reimplemented from ThePEG::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.

virtual IBPtr ThePEG::WeakToHadronsDecayer::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::QuarksToHadronsDecayer.
