Detailed Description

template<detail::PointLikeProcessConcept physics_t, typename input_particle_selector_t, typename output_particle_selector_t, typename child_particle_selector_t = output_particle_selector_t>
struct ActsFatras::PointLikeProcess< physics_t, input_particle_selector_t, output_particle_selector_t, child_particle_selector_t >

A point like simulation process based on a physics model plus selectors.

Template Parameters

physics_t	is the physics model type
input_particle_selector_t	is the input particle selector
output_particle_selector_t	is the output particle selector
child_particle_selector_t	is the child particle selector

The physics model type must provide a call operator with the following two member functions

// generate X0/L0 limits
template <typename generator_t>
std::pair<Scalar, Scalar>
generatePathLimits(
    generator& rng,
    const Particle& particle) const

// run the process simulation
template <typename generator_t>
bool
run(
    generator_t& rng,
    Particle& particle,
    std::vector<Particle>& generatedParticles) const

The return type of generatePathLimits() can be any Container with Particle elements.

The input selector defines whether the process is applied while the output selector defines a break condition, i.e. whether to continue simulating the particle propagation. The child selector is used to filter the generated child particles.

Note: The output and child particle selectors are identical unless the child particle selector is explicitly specified.
