Class Acts::Propagator¶
-
template<typename stepper_t, typename navigator_t = detail::VoidNavigator>
class Propagator¶ Propagator for particles (optionally in a magnetic field)
The Propagator works with a state objects given at function call This state object contains the thread local state objects
Navigator::state_type for object navigation and screen output
Stepper::state_type state for the actual transport caching (pos,dir,field)
This Propagator class serves as high-level steering code for propagating track parameters. The actual implementation of the propagation has to be implemented in the stepper_t object, which has to provide the following:
a function for performing a single propagation step
a type mapping for: initial track parameter type -> type of final track parameters
a type mapping for: (initial track parameter type and destination surface type) -> type of final track parameters
a type mapping for: initial track parameter type -> type of internal state object
a type mapping for: (initial track parameter type and destination surface type) -> type of internal state object
- Template Parameters
stepper_t – Type of stepper implementation of the propagation
naviagor_t – Type of the navigator (optional)
