Detailed Description

Simulate energy loss using the Bethe-Bloch/Landau description.

Energy loss is computed using the most probable value and appropriate fluctuations from a Landau distribution. No secondaries are generated for the removed energy.

◆ operator()()

template<typename generator_t>

std::array< Particle, 0 > ActsFatras::BetheBloch::operator()	(	generator_t &	generator,
		const Acts::MaterialSlab &	slab,
		Particle &	particle ) const

Simulate energy loss and update the particle parameters.

Parameters

[in]	generator	is the random number generator
[in]	slab	defines the passed material
[in,out]	particle	is the particle being updated

Returns: Empty secondaries containers.

Template Parameters

generator_t is a RandomNumberEngine
