Purpose

The module: /Offline/EventGenerator/src/SingleProcessGenerator_module.cc is a generic module which is capable of generating a chosen physics process from a stopped muon particle.

An example use cases is the DIO:

 physics.producers.generate : {
 module_type : SingleProcessGenerator
 inputSimParticles: TargetStopResampler
 stoppingTargetMaterial : "Al"
 decayProducts :
 {
   tool_type : DIOGenerator
   spectrum : {
     pdgId            :  11
     spectrumVariable : "totalEnergy"
     spectrumShape    : "tabulated"
     spectrumFileName : "Offline/ConditionsService/data/heeck_finer_binning_2016_szafron.tbl"
     ehi              : 104.97
     elow             : 100.
   }
 }
 verbosity : 0

}

As you see the DIO has a "Generator tool" which contains the relevant generator spectrum but the SingleProcessGenerator module is capable of taking any such tool and making the outgoing electron spectra from a stopped muon at the target.

Use Cases

The module can be used for any stopped particle process. However an appropriate generator tool must be provided as the "tool_type" input.

So far we have implemented just two use-cases:

• DIOGenerator
• RMCGenerator

These must inherit from the ParticleGeneratorTool class.
