TPythia6Decayer Class Reference

This class implements the TVirtualMCDecayer interface.

The TPythia6 singleton object is used to decay particles. Note, that since this class modifies common blocks (global variables) it is defined as a singleton.

The file name must previously have been set using the member function SetDecayTableFile.

Users can use this function to make an initial decay list file, which then can be edited by hand, and re-loaded into the decayer using ReadDecayTable.

The file syntax is

particle_list : partcle_data
              | particle_list particle_data
             ;
particle_data : particle_info
              | particle_info '\n' decay_list

decay_list    : decay_entry
              | decay_list decay_entry

The particle_info consists of 13 fields:

PDG code             int
Name                 string
Anti-particle name   string  if there's no anti-particle,
                             then this field must be the
                             empty string
Electic charge       int     in units of |e|/3
Color charge         int     in units of quark color charges
Have anti-particle   int     1 of there's an anti-particle
                             to this particle, or 0

The format to write these entries in are

" %9  %-16s  %-16s%3d%3d%3d%12.5f%12.5f%12.5f%13.gf%3d%d\n"
