7The TLorentzRotation class describes Lorentz transformations including
8Lorentz boosts and rotations (see TRotation)

20### Declaration
21By default it is initialized to the identity matrix, but it may also be
22intialized by an other TLorentzRotation,
23by a pure TRotation or by a boost:
24
25 TLorentzRotation l; // l is
26initialized as identity
27 TLorentzRotation m(l); // m = l
28 TRotation r;
29 TLorentzRotation lr(r);
30 TLorentzRotation lb1(bx,by,bz);
31 TVector3 b;
32 TLorentzRotation lb2(b);
33
34The Matrix for a Lorentz boosts is:
35
36~~~
37 | 1+gamma'*bx*bx gamma'*bx*by gamma'*bx*bz gamma*bx |
38 | gamma'*by*bx 1+gamma'*by*by gamma'*by*bz gamma*by |
39 | gamma'*bz*bx gamma'*bz*by 1+gamma'*bz*bz gamma*bz |
40 | gamma*bx gamma*by gamma*bz gamma |
41~~~
42
43with the boost vector b=(bx,by,bz) and gamma=1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta)
44and gamma'=(gamma-1)/beta*beta.
45### Access to the matrix components/Comparisons
46Access to the matrix components is possible through the member functions
47XX(), XY() .. TT(),
48through the operator (int,int):
49
50~~~
51 Double_t xx;
52 TLorentzRotation l;
53 xx = l.XX(); // gets the xx component
54 xx = l(0,0); // gets the xx component
55
56 if (l==m) {...} // test for equality
57 if (l !=m) {...} // test for inequality
58 if (l.IsIdentity()) {...} // test for identity
59~~~

61### Transformations of a LorentzRotation
62
63#### Compound transformations
64There are four possibilities to find the product of two TLorentzRotation
65transformations:
66
67~~~
68 TLorentzRotation a,b,c;
69 c = b*a;// product
70 c = a.MatrixMultiplication(b); // a is unchanged
71 a *= b;// Attention: a=a*b
72 c = a.Transform(b)// a=b*a then c=a
73~~~
74
75#### Lorentz boosts
76
77~~~
78 Double_t bx, by, bz;
79 TVector3 v(bx,by,bz);
80 TLorentzRotation l;
81 l.Boost(v);
82 l.Boost(bx,by,bz);
83~~~
84
85#### Rotations
86
87~~~
88 TVector3 axis;
89 l.RotateX(TMath::Pi()); // rotation around x-axis
90 l.Rotate(.5,axis);// rotation around specified vector
91~~~
92
93#### Inverse transformation
94The matrix for the inverse transformation of a TLorentzRotation is as follows:
95
96~~~
97 | xx yx zx -tx |
98 | |
99 | xy yy zy -ty |
100 | |
101 | xz yz zz -tz |
102 | |
103 |-xt -yt -zt tt |
104~~~
105
106To return the inverse transformation keeping the current unchanged
107use the member function Inverse().
108Invert() inverts the current TLorentzRotation:
109
110~~~
111 l1 = l2.Inverse(); // l1 is inverse of l2, l2 unchanged
112 l1 = l2.Invert(); // invert l2, then l1=l2
113~~~
114
115### Transformation of a TLorentzVector
116To apply TLorentzRotation to TLorentzVector you can use
117either the VectorMultiplication() member function or the *
118operator. You can also use the Transform() function and the *=
119operator of the TLorentzVector class.:
120
121~~~
122 TLorentzVector v;
123 ...
124 v=l.VectorMultiplication(v);
125 v = l * v;
126
127 v.Transform(l);
128 v *= l; // Attention v = l*v
129~~~
