Class ChargedPolicy

Class Documentation

class Acts::ChargedPolicy

policy class for charged particles/tracks

This type is meant to be used as template parameter to the SingleTrackParameters class and its derived classes in order to provide a distinction between charged and neutral track (parameters) at the C++ type level. This allows other class to employ optimized algorithms for either case by using template specializations.

Public Functions

ChargedPolicy(double charge)

constructor with given charge

Parameters

  • charge: electric charge of particle/track (parameters)

void flipSign()

flip sign of electric charge

double getCharge() const

retrieve stored value of the electric charge

Return

value for charge

bool operator!=(const ChargedPolicy &rhs) const

inequality operator

Return

true if rhs has a different charge, otherwise false

bool operator==(const ChargedPolicy &rhs) const

equality operator

Return

true if rhs has the same charge, otherwise false

void setCharge(double charge)

sets charge

Parameters

  • charge: new value for the electric charge
