The convPDGnumber class
Idea
The C++-class convPDGnumber takes as an input the numbers of the Monte Carlo particle numbering schemes and provides information about them. The class is based on a list of all particles (PDGLaTeXTable.txt), according to the Review of Particle Physics 2008. From version 1.1 on, antiparticles are implemented as well.
Methods
The class has several methods.
- latex(PDGnumber) - Returns the name of the particle in LaTeX-format (with a
$sign at the beginning and the end). - latexNoDollar(PDGnumber) - Returns the name of the particle in LaTeX-format (without the
$sign at the beginning and the end). - type(PDGnumber) - Returns the type of the particle, i.e. “Bottom Meson” or “Quarks”.
- name(PDGnumber) - Returns the name of the particle in ASCII-format.
- print() - Prints the whole list in ascending order.
Compilation
The class can be used in conjunction with BGlatex or alone. The easiest is to compile both with the Makefile provided in !LINK!
