Detailed Description

Function Documentation

isDarkMatter()

bool Rivet::PID::isDarkMatter ( int  pid )

inline

Is this a generic Dark Matter particle?

Note

DM particles, including mediators, get the range 51-60

Also covers other cases: Heavy neutral leptons (50), Light pseudo-scalar A in 2HDM (55), Z' scalar UFO models (56)

Todo:

Give a more explicit name to clarify that this does not cover all DM particles, e.g. LSP?

isLepton()

bool Rivet::PID::isLepton ( int  pid )

inline

Is this a valid lepton ID?

Note

BSM "leptons" don't count

References Rivet::PID::isBSM(), and Rivet::pid().

Referenced by Rivet::PID::isExcitedLepton(), Rivet::Particle::isLepton(), Rivet::PID::isSMFundamental(), and Rivet::PID::isTransportable().

isQBall()

bool Rivet::PID::isQBall ( int  pid )

inline

Is this a Q-ball?

Note

Ad-hoc numbering for such particles is 100xxxx0, where xxxx is the charge in tenths.

isSUSY()

bool Rivet::PID::isSUSY ( int  pid )

inline

Is this a fundamental SUSY particle?

The MSSM extended Higgs sector is not counted as 'SUSY' particles, since they are not superpartners.
