TLorentzRotation</H2>
The TLorentzRotation class describes Lorentz transformations including
Lorentz boosts and rotations (see TRotation)

Declaration</H3>
By default it is initialized to the identity matrix, but it may also be
intialized by an other <TT>TLorentzRotation</TT>,
<BR>by a pure TRotation or by a boost:
<P><TT> TLorentzRotation l; // l is
initialized as identity</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation m(l); // m = l</TT>
<BR><TT> TRotation r;</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation lr(r);</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation lb1(bx,by,bz);</TT>
<BR><TT> TVector3 b;</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation lb2(b);</TT>
<P>The Matrix for a Lorentz boosts is:
<P><TT> | 1+gamma'*bx*bx gamma'*bx*by gamma'*bx*bz
gamma*bx |</TT>
<BR><TT> | gamma'*bx*bz 1+gamma'*by*by gamma'*by*by
gamma*by |</TT>
<BR><TT> | gamma'*bz*bx gamma'*bz*by 1+gamma'*bz*bz
gamma*bz |</TT>
<BR><TT> | gamma*bx
gamma*by gamma*bz
gamma |</TT>
<P>with the boost vector <TT><B>b</B>=(bx,by,bz) </TT>and<TT> gamma=1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta)
</TT>and<TT> gamma'=(gamma-1)/beta*beta.</TT>
<H3>
Access to the matrix components/Comparisons</H3>
Access to the matrix components is possible through the member functions
XX(), XY() .. TT(),
<BR>through the operator (int,int):
<P><TT> Double_t xx;</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation l;</TT>
<BR><TT> xx = l.XX(); // gets the xx component</TT>
<BR><TT> xx = l(0,0); // gets the xx component</TT>
<P><TT> if (l==m) {...} // test for equality</TT>
<BR><TT> if (l !=m) {...} // test for inequality</TT>
<BR><TT> if (l.IsIdentity()) {...} // test for identity</TT>
<BR>
<H3>
Transformations of a LorentzRotation</H3>
<H5>
Compound transformations</H5>
There are four possibilities to find the product of two <TT>TLorentzRotation</TT>
transformations:
<P><TT> TLorentzRotation a,b,c;</TT>
<BR><TT> c = b*a; // product</TT>
<BR><TT> c = a.MatrixMultiplication(b); // a is unchanged</TT>
<BR><TT> a *= b; // Attention: a=a*b</TT>
<BR><TT> c = a.Transform(b) // a=b*a then c=a</TT>
<BR>
<H5>
Lorentz boosts</H5>
<TT> Double_t bx, by, bz;</TT>
<BR><TT> TVector3 v(bx,by,bz);</TT>
<BR><TT> TLorentzRotation l;</TT>
<BR><TT> l.Boost(v);</TT>
<BR><TT> l.Boost(bx,by,bz);</TT>
<BR>
<H5>
Rotations</H5>
<TT> TVector3 axis;</TT>
<BR><TT> l.RotateX(TMath::Pi()); // rotation around
x-axis</TT>
<BR><TT> l.Rotate(.5,axis); // rotation around specified vector</TT>
<H5>
Inverse transformation</H5>
The matrix for the inverse transformation of a TLorentzRotation is as follows:
<BR><TT>
| xx yx zx -tx |</TT>
<BR><TT>
|
|</TT>
<BR><TT>
| xy yy zy -ty |</TT>
<BR><TT>
|
|</TT>
<BR><TT>
| xz yz zz -tz |</TT>
<BR><TT>
|
|</TT>
<BR><TT>
|-xt -yt -zt tt |</TT>
<BR>To return the inverse transformation keeping the current unchanged
use the memberfunction <TT>Inverse()</TT>.
<BR><TT>Invert()</TT> inverts the current <TT>TLorentzRotation</TT>:
<P><TT> l1 = l2.Inverse(); // l1 is inverse of l2, l2 unchanged</TT>
<BR><TT> l1 = l2.Invert(); // invert l2, then l1=l2</TT>
<H3>
Transformation of a TLorentzVector</H3>
To apply <TT>TLorentzRotation</TT> to <TT>TLorentzVector</TT> you can use
either the <TT>VectorMultiplication()</TT> member function or the <TT>*</TT>
operator. You can also use the <TT>Transform()</TT> function and the <TT>*=</TT>
operator of the <TT>TLorentzVector</TT> class.:
<P><TT> TLorentzVector v;</TT>
<BR><TT> ...</TT>
<BR><TT> v=l.VectorMultiplication(v);</TT>
<BR><TT> v = l * v;</TT>
<P><TT> v.Transform(l);</TT>
<BR><TT> v *= l; // Attention v = l*v</TT>
