Member Function Documentation

azimuthalAngle()

double Rivet::Vector3::azimuthalAngle ( const PhiMapping  mapping = ZERO_2PI ) const

inline

Angle subtended by the vector's projection in x-y and the x-axis.

Note

Returns zero in the case of a vector with null x and y components.

Todo:

Would it be better to return NaN in the null-perp case? Or throw?!

References Rivet::mapAngle().

Referenced by Rivet::FourVector::azimuthalAngle(), Rivet::deltaPhi(), Rivet::deltaR2(), and phi().

pseudorapidity()

double Rivet::Vector3::pseudorapidity ( ) const

inline

Purely geometric approximation to rapidity.

eta = -ln[ tan(theta/2) ]

Also invariant under z-boosts, equal to y for massless particles.

Implemented using the tan half-angle formula tan(theta/2) = sin(theta) / [1 + cos(theta)] = pT / (p + pz)

References eta(), Rivet::Vector< 3 >::mod(), and perp().

Referenced by Rivet::deltaEta(), Rivet::deltaR2(), eta(), and Rivet::FourVector::pseudorapidity().
