Constructor & Destructor Documentation

StHighPtFilter::StHighPtFilter

(

)

StMCFilter base class is :

1. A user interface. User must overload functions: a)RejectEG (StGenParticles &) ? called inside Pythia. Interaction point in (0,0,0); EG == EventGenerator b)RejectGT (StGenParticles &) ? called inside Geant before tracking. Interaction point generated by Geant; GT==GeantTracking c)RejectGE (StGenParticles &) ? called inside Geant after tracking; GE==GeantEnd
2. All three methods have exactly the same input arguments;
3. User must provide the unique name of the his filter. Selection of filter is based on this name.
4. Apart of that in this base class all the machinery of connection to Pythia and Geant is hidden
5. At the end Finish() is called. Print statistics. Could be overloaded

An argument of RejectXX(StGenParticles &Ptl) Class StGenParticles is a container class containing StGenParticle objects. Each object represents one particle(track). User methods of StGenParticles class:

1. Ptl.Size() ? number of particles;
2. Ptl(index) ? pointer to particle (StGenParticle*)
3. Ptl.Print() ? print all particles;
4. Ptl.Print(char* tit) ? print container

Class StGenParticle ideologically is based on HEPEVT standard http://cepa.fnal.gov/psm/simulation/mcgen/lund/pythia_manual/pythia6.3/pythia6301/node39.html

Methods:

• int GetStatusCode; /// 1= final particle
• int GetPdgCode; //PDG particle code
• int GetGeaCode(); //Geant particle code
• StGenParticle *GetMother(int i); //mother particle(0=beam,1=target)
• StGenParticle *GetDaughter(int i); //daughter ith particle
• double GetCalcMass (); //calculated mass
• double GetMass(); //mass
• int GetNDaughters
• void Momentum(double p4[4]); //four momentum
• void Vertex(double v[3]) //vertex in cm;
• double Time(); //time in cm
• int IsPrimary(); //Is this particle a primary one?
• int IsFinal () //Is this particle a final one?

Additional methods:

• double R (); //Rxy of vertex
• double Rho (); //Rxyz of vertex
• double P (); /// Full momentum
• double Pt (); //Transverse momentum
• double Energy();
• double Eta (); //Pseudo rapidity
• double Phi ();
• double Theta ();

  gexec $STAR_LIB/libpythia_6410t.so
  gexec $STAR_LIB/bpythia.so

  All three methods are called in a proper places. Method which is not overloaded, always returns zero (no rejection)
