Class NeutrinoCharge

java.lang.Object

iceCube.uhe.interactions.NeutrinoCharge

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Function

public class NeutrinoCharge
extends java.lang.Object
implements Function

The Neutrino-isoscalar nucleon charged current interactions taking place in undergound rock and ice are calculated in this subclass. The class variables Particle, and Point are necessary for the methods described here because the cross section depends on the particle propaty and the medium like Z and A(atomic number).

public boolean isValidInelasticity(double y)

Checking the range of the given inelasticity y that is determined in an individual interaction channel.

getYmin

public double getYmin()

Getting the range of allowed y for a given interaction

getYmax

public double getYmax()

setIncidentParticleEnergy

public void setIncidentParticleEnergy(double energy)

        Set The incident particle energy [GeV].
        The default value has been given by the constructor
        Interactions( ) with p.getEnergy( ) where p is 
        the Particle class. You might want to set, however,
        a different value such as 
        logE = logEnergyMinimum + deltaLogE*ilogE
        where ilogE is i'th index of the logEnergyMatrix
        in the Particle class p. This method provides you
        with a way to put the incident particle energy.
