TGenPhaseSpace Class Reference

Utility class to generate n-body event, with constant cross-section (default) or with Fermi energy dependence (opt="Fermi").

The event is generated in the center-of-mass frame, but the decay products are finally boosted using the betas of the original particle.

The code is based on the GENBOD function (W515 from CERNLIB) using the Raubold and Lynch method F. James, Monte Carlo Phase Space, CERN 68-15 (1968)

see example of use in PhaseSpace.C

Note that Momentum, Energy units are Gev/C, GeV
