Struct ActsFatras::Simulation¶
-
template<typename charged_selector_t, typename charged_simulator_t, typename neutral_selector_t, typename neutral_simulator_t>
struct Simulation Multi-particle/event simulation.
The selector types for charged and neutral particles do not need to check for the particle charge. This is done automatically by the simulator to ensure consistency.
- Template Parameters
charged_selector_t – Callable selector type for charged particles
charged_simulator_t – Single particle simulator for charged particles
neutral_selector_t – Callable selector type for neutral particles
neutral_simulator_t – Single particle simulator for neutral particles
Public Functions
-
inline Simulation(charged_simulator_t &&charged_, neutral_simulator_t &&neutral_)
Construct from the single charged/neutral particle simulators.
-
template<typename generator_t, typename input_particles_t, typename output_particles_t, typename hits_t>
inline Acts::Result<std::vector<FailedParticle>> simulate(const Acts::GeometryContext &geoCtx, const Acts::MagneticFieldContext &magCtx, generator_t &generator, const input_particles_t &inputParticles, output_particles_t &simulatedParticlesInitial, output_particles_t &simulatedParticlesFinal, hits_t &hits) const Simulate multiple particles and generated secondaries.
This takes all input particles and simulates those passing the selection using the appropriate simulator. All selected particle states including additional ones generated from interactions are stored in separate output containers; both the initial state at the production vertex and the final state after propagation are stored. Hits generated from selected input and generated particles are stored in the hit container.
Note
Parameter edge-cases can lead to errors in the underlying propagator and thus to particles that fail to simulate. Here, full events are simulated and the failure to simulate one particle should not be considered a general failure of the simulator. Instead, a list of particles that fail to simulate is provided to the user. It is the users responsibility to handle them.
Note
Failed particles are removed from the regular output, i.e. they do not appear in the simulated particles containers nor do they generate hits.
Warning
Particle-hit association is based on particle ids generated during the simulation. This requires that all input particles must have generation and sub-particle number set to zero.
