Class EventShape

java.lang.Object
  hep.physics.jet.EventShape

public class EventShape
extends java.lang.Object

Event Shape and Thrust utilities.

This is a transcription of the Jetset thrust and event shape finders into Java.

Event shape extracts from the input enumeration 3-momenta which are formed into a kind of (symmetric) momentum tensor similar to an inertia tensor. From this tensor the 3-principal axes are determined along with their associated eigenvalues.

Traditionally, the nomenclature for the three axes are:

• Thrust Axis is associated with the largest eigenvalue called the Thrust.
• Major Axis is associated with the middle eigenvalue called the Major Thrust.
• Minor Axis is associated with the smallest eigenvalue called the Minor Thrust.

Constructor Detail

EventShape

public EventShape()

Create a new instance of EventShape

Method Detail

setEvent

public void setEvent(java.util.Collection data)

Call this to input a new event to the event shape routines.

Parameters:

data - An Enumeration of either HepLorentzVectors (HepLorentzVectors) or Hep3Vectors

setEvent

public void setEvent(java.util.Collection data,
                     Predicate cut)

Call this to input a new event to the event shape routines. Only elements of the enumeration which are accepted by the predicate will be used for jet finding.

Parameters:

data - An Enumeration of either HepLorentzVectors (HepLorentzVectors) or Hep3Vectors

cut - A predicate that is applied to each element of e, or null to accept all elements
