TLorentzRotation Class Reference

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

Declaration

By default it is initialized to the identity matrix, but it may also be intialized by an other TLorentzRotation, by a pure TRotation or by a boost:

TLorentzRotation l; // l is initialized as identity TLorentzRotation m(l); // m = l TRotation r; TLorentzRotation lr(r); TLorentzRotation lb1(bx,by,bz); TVector3 b; TLorentzRotation lb2(b);

The Matrix for a Lorentz boosts is:

| 1+gamma'*bx*bx gamma'*bx*by gamma'*bx*bz gamma*bx |
| gamma'*by*bx 1+gamma'*by*by gamma'*by*bz gamma*by |
| gamma'*bz*bx gamma'*bz*by 1+gamma'*bz*bz gamma*bz |
| gamma*bx gamma*by gamma*bz gamma |
double gamma(double x)

with the boost vector b=(bx,by,bz) and gamma=1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta) and gamma'=(gamma-1)/beta*beta.

Access to the matrix components/Comparisons

Access to the matrix components is possible through the member functions XX(), XY() .. TT(), through the operator (int,int):

xx = l.XX(); // gets the xx component
xx = l(0,0); // gets the xx component
if (l==m) {...} // test for equality
if (l !=m) {...} // test for inequality
if (l.IsIdentity()) {...} // test for identity

Transformations of a LorentzRotation

Compound transformations

There are four possibilities to find the product of two TLorentzRotation transformations:

c = b*a;// product
c = a.MatrixMultiplication(b); // a is unchanged
a *= b;// Attention: a=a*b
c = a.Transform(b)// a=b*a then c=a
#define b(i)
Definition: RSha256.hxx:100
#define c(i)
Definition: RSha256.hxx:101
auto * a
Definition: textangle.C:12

Lorentz boosts

Double_t bx, by, bz;
TVector3 v(bx,by,bz);
l.Boost(v);
l.Boost(bx,by,bz);
TVector3 is a general three vector class, which can be used for the description of different vectors ...
Definition: TVector3.h:22

Rotations

TVector3 axis;
l.RotateX(TMath::Pi()); // rotation around x-axis
l.Rotate(.5,axis);// rotation around specified vector
constexpr Double_t Pi()
Definition: TMath.h:38

Inverse transformation

The matrix for the inverse transformation of a TLorentzRotation is as follows:

| xx yx zx -tx |
| |
| xy yy zy -ty |
| |
| xz yz zz -tz |
| |
|-xt -yt -zt tt |

To return the inverse transformation keeping the current unchanged use the member function Inverse(). Invert() inverts the current TLorentzRotation:

l1 = l2.Inverse(); // l1 is inverse of l2, l2 unchanged
l1 = l2.Invert(); // invert l2, then l1=l2

Transformation of a TLorentzVector

To apply TLorentzRotation to TLorentzVector you can use either the VectorMultiplication() member function or the * operator. You can also use the Transform() function and the *= operator of the TLorentzVector class.:

...
v=l.VectorMultiplication(v);
v = l * v;
v.Transform(l);
v *= l; // Attention v = l*v
