Detailed Description

A container to store scattering properties for each material surface.

This struct holds the scattering angles, the inverse covariance of the material, and a validity flag indicating whether the material is valid for the scattering process.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ScatteringProperties()

Acts::Experimental::ScatteringProperties::ScatteringProperties	(	const BoundVector &	scatteringAngles_,
		const double	invCovarianceMaterial_,
		const bool	materialIsValid_ )

Constructor to initialize scattering properties.

Parameters

scatteringAngles_	The vector of scattering angles.
invCovarianceMaterial_	The inverse covariance of the material.
materialIsValid_	A boolean flag indicating whether the material is valid.

Member Function Documentation

invCovarianceMaterial()

double Acts::Experimental::ScatteringProperties::invCovarianceMaterial

(

)

const

Accessor for the inverse covariance of the material.

Returns

Inverse covariance value computed from material properties (e.g., Highland formula)

materialIsValid()

bool Acts::Experimental::ScatteringProperties::materialIsValid

(

)

const

Accessor for the material validity flag.

Returns

True if material is valid for scattering calculations, false for vacuum or zero thickness

BoundVector & Acts::Experimental::ScatteringProperties::scatteringAngles

(

)

Accessor for the scattering angles (mutable version).

Returns

Mutable reference to the vector of scattering angles for modification

scatteringAngles() [2/2]

const BoundVector & Acts::Experimental::ScatteringProperties::scatteringAngles

(

)

const

Accessor for the scattering angles (const version).

Returns

Const reference to the vector of scattering angles
