Member Function Documentation

GeneratePrimaryVertex()

virtual void simcore::PrimaryGenerator::GeneratePrimaryVertex ( G4Event * )

pure virtual

Generate a Primary Vertex.

This function must be defined by any other LDMX generators.

Implemented in simcore::generators::GeneralParticleSource, simcore::generators::GenieGenerator, simcore::generators::LHEPrimaryGenerator, simcore::generators::MultiParticleGunPrimaryGenerator, and simcore::generators::ParticleGun.

name()

std::string simcore::PrimaryGenerator::name ( )

inline

{ return name_; }

RecordConfig()

virtual void simcore::PrimaryGenerator::RecordConfig ( const std::string & id, ldmx::RunHeader & rh )

pure virtual

Record the configuration of the primary generator into the run header.

Note

you must include the id number in each entry into the run header just in case there are other generators

Implemented in simcore::generators::GeneralParticleSource, simcore::generators::GenieGenerator, simcore::generators::LHEPrimaryGenerator, simcore::generators::MultiParticleGunPrimaryGenerator, and simcore::generators::ParticleGun.
