Four-vectors are derived from three-vectors and inherit // // all of their members. Direct access to the components is provided // // through the subscript operator [i] which covers the range 1...3 for // // three-vectors and 0...3 for four-vectors. Transformations are // // implemented as a friend class so that they can operate directly on // // the data members of the vector, which are otherwise hidden. The // // special transformations (rotations and boosts) inherit from the // // general class LorentzTransform. Products of rotations are other // // rotations, whereas the product of a boost with anything is simply // // a LorentzTransform. The LorentzTransform objects can be tested // // for the property of being a pure rotation or boost. They can also // // implement non-isochronous and improper transformations. // // // // Rotations may be specified either by Euler angles or by a rotation // // axis. All angles are assumed to be in radians. Vector classes are // // defined for both Real_t and Complex_t generic types. For complex // // vectors there are several additional member functions to deal with // // operations that are specific to complex numbers. // // // // The classes comprising this package are: // // TThreeVectorReal is a base class // // TThreeVectorComplex is a base class // // TFourVectorReal is a TThreeVectorReal // // TFourVectorComplex is a TThreeVectorComplex // // TLorentzTransform is a base class // // TThreeRotation is a TLorentzTransform // // TLorentzBoost is a TLorentzTransform // // The following aliases are defined for these classes: // // TUnitVector is an alias for TThreeVectorReal // // TThreeVector is an alias for TThreeVectorReal // // TFourVector is an alias for TFourVectorReal // // // // This package was developed at the University of Connecticut by // // Richard T. Jones // // // ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// #include "TLorentzBoost.h" #include "TFourVectorReal.h" #include "TFourVectorComplex.h" #include using namespace std; ClassImp(TLorentzBoost) TLorentzBoost &TLorentzBoost::SetBeta(const TThreeVectorReal &beta) { Double_t betaSqr = beta.LengthSqr(); if (betaSqr >= 1) { Error("TLorentzBoost::SetBeta()","attempt to boost outside light cone"); return SetBeta(beta,0); } Double_t gamma = 1/sqrt(1-betaSqr); TThreeVectorReal eta = beta*gamma; Double_t gammaPlusOne = gamma + 1; fMatrix[0][0] = gamma; fMatrix[1][1] = 1 + eta.fVector[1]*eta.fVector[1]/gammaPlusOne; fMatrix[2][2] = 1 + eta.fVector[2]*eta.fVector[2]/gammaPlusOne; fMatrix[3][3] = 1 + eta.fVector[3]*eta.fVector[3]/gammaPlusOne; fMatrix[0][1] = fMatrix[1][0] = -gamma*beta.fVector[1]; fMatrix[0][2] = fMatrix[2][0] = -gamma*beta.fVector[2]; fMatrix[0][3] = fMatrix[3][0] = -gamma*beta.fVector[3]; fMatrix[1][2] = fMatrix[2][1] = eta.fVector[1]*eta.fVector[2]/gammaPlusOne; fMatrix[1][3] = fMatrix[3][1] = eta.fVector[1]*eta.fVector[3]/gammaPlusOne; fMatrix[2][3] = fMatrix[3][2] = eta.fVector[2]*eta.fVector[3]/gammaPlusOne; return *this; } TLorentzBoost &TLorentzBoost::SetBeta (const TUnitVector &bhat, const Double_t beta) { TThreeVectorReal betaV(bhat); betaV.Normalize(beta); SetBeta(betaV); return *this; } TLorentzBoost &TLorentzBoost::SetBeta(const TFourVectorReal &p) { TThreeVectorReal betaV = (TThreeVectorReal)p/p[0]; SetBeta(betaV); return *this; } void TLorentzBoost::Print(Option_t *option) { // Output an ascii representation for boost matrix. cout << "TLorentzBoost matrix" << endl; cout << "(" << fMatrix[0][0] << "," << fMatrix[0][1] << "," << fMatrix[0][2] << "," << fMatrix[0][3] << ")" << endl; cout << "(" << fMatrix[1][0] << "," << fMatrix[1][1] << "," << fMatrix[1][2] << "," << fMatrix[1][3] << ")" << endl; cout << "(" << fMatrix[2][0] << "," << fMatrix[2][1] << "," << fMatrix[2][2] << "," << fMatrix[2][3] << ")" << endl; cout << "(" << fMatrix[3][0] << "," << fMatrix[3][1] << "," << fMatrix[3][2] << "," << fMatrix[3][3] << ")" << endl; } //______________________________________________________________________________ #ifdef R__HPUX //______________________________________________________________________________ // These functions should be inline //______________________________________________________________________________ #endif
