Detailed Description

ZGenerator is the base class for all classes implementing models to generate the momentum fraction, , taken by hadrons produced in a hadronization scenario.

It inherits from HandlerBase class which among other things provides forward access to the random number generator of the EventGenerator class.

Member Function Documentation

virtual double ThePEG::ZGenerator::generate	(	cPDPtr	q1,
		cPDPtr	q2,
		Energy2	mT2
	)			const [pure virtual]

Return the momentum fraction.

Assume that an initial (anti-)(di-)quark q1 produces a hadron and leaves behind another (anti-)(di-)quark q2. The hadron is assumed to have a squared transverse mass, mT2, w.r.t. the initial quark direction.

Returns:

the energy fraction.

Implemented in ThePEG::SimpleZGenerator.
