Class Description

  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 $ROOTSYS/tutorials/PhaseSpace.C

Double_t pdk(Double_t a, Double_t b, Double_t c)

TGenPhaseSpace(const TGenPhaseSpace &gen) : TObject(gen)

Double_t Generate()
  Generate a random final state.
  The function returns the weigth of the current event.
  The TLorentzVector of each decay product can be get using GetDecay(n).
  The maximum weigth can be get using GetWtMax().


TLorentzVector* GetDecay(Int_t n)

Bool_t SetDecay(TLorentzVector &P, Int_t nt, Double_t *mass, Option_t *opt)
 input:
 TLorentzVector &P:    decay particle
 Int_t nt:             number of decay products
 Double_t *mass:       array of decay product masses
 Option_t *opt:        default -> constant cross section
                       "Fermi" -> Fermi energy dependece
 return value:
 kTRUE:      the decay is permitted by kinematics
 kFALSE:     the decay is forbidden by kinematics
