computeEnergyLossMean
(const MaterialSlab &slab, int pdg, float m, float qOverP, float q = UnitConstants::e)¶ Compute the combined mean energy loss.
This computes the combined mean energy loss -dE(x) including ionisation and radiative effects. The computations are valid over a wide range of particle energies.
- Parameters
slab
: The traversed material and its propertiespdg
: Particle type PDG identifierm
: Particle massqOverP
: Particle charge divided by absolute momentumq
: Particle charge, only the magnitude is considered
