class PhotoDisintegration : public Module 

Photodisintegration of nuclei by background photons.

Public Functions

PhotoDisintegration(ref_ptr<PhotonField> photonField, bool havePhotons = false, double limit = 0.1)

Constructor.

Parameters:

photonField – target photon field
havePhotons – if true, add secondary photons as candidates
limit – step size limit as fraction of mean free path

void setPhotonField(ref_ptr<PhotonField> photonField)

void setHavePhotons(bool havePhotons)

void setLimit(double limit)

Limit the propagation step to a fraction of the mean free path

Parameters:: limit – fraction of the mean free path

void setInteractionTag(std::string tag)

set a custom interaction tag to trace back this interaction

Parameters:: tag – string that will be added to the candidate and output

std::string getInteractionTag() const

void initRate(std::string filename)

void initBranching(std::string filename)

void initPhotonEmission(std::string filename)

virtual void process(Candidate *candidate) const

void performInteraction(Candidate *candidate, int channel) const

double lossLength(int id, double gamma, double z = 0)

Calculates the loss length E dx/dE in [m] physical distance. This is not used in the simulation.

Parameters:

id – PDG particle id
gamma – Lorentz factor of particle
z – redshift

Returns:

E dx/dE [in meters]
