class TGenPhaseSpace: public TObject


  Utility class to generate n-body event,
  with constant cross-section (default)
  or with Fermi energy dependence (opt="Fermi").
  The event is generated in the center-of-mass frame,
  but the decay products are finally boosted
  using the betas of the original particle.

  The code is based on the GENBOD function (W515 from CERNLIB)
  using the Raubold and Lynch method

 see example of use in $ROOTSYS/tutorials/physics/PhaseSpace.C

 Note that Momentum, Energy units are Gev/C, GeV

Function documentation

Double_t PDK(Double_t a, Double_t b, Double_t c)
the PDK function
TGenPhaseSpace(const TGenPhaseSpace& gen)
copy constructor
Double_t Generate()
  Generate a random final state.
  The function returns the weigth of the current event.
  The TLorentzVector of each decay product can be obtained using GetDecay(n).

 Note that Momentum, Energy units are Gev/C, GeV
TLorentzVector * GetDecay(Int_t n)
return Lorentz vector corresponding to decay n
Bool_t SetDecay(TLorentzVector& P, Int_t nt, Double_t* mass, Option_t* opt = "")
 input:
 TLorentzVector &P:    decay particle (Momentum, Energy units are Gev/C, GeV)
 Int_t nt:             number of decay products
