Class MonteCarloBase

java.lang.Object
  iceCube.uhe.event.MonteCarloBase

Direct Known Subclasses:

ElectronBase, GlashowResonanceBase, InteractionsBase, MuDecayBase, TauDecayBase

public abstract class MonteCarloBase
extends java.lang.Object

This is the abstract class to define the methods for both intereactions and decay
that determines the pathlength and produced energy with the Monte Carlo method.
The acutual implementaion of the mothods are made by InteractionsBase.java
(in the intereactions package) and MuDecayBase/TauDecayBase.java (in the decay package).

This class also defines the method to tell you particle flavor and doublet involved
so that the Event class can decide which interaction (or decay) should be
taken for a given primary particle.
