#include <quantumnumbers.h>

A container for storing conserved values.

QuantumNumbers can be used to compare all values that should be conserved during the evolution, in particular for the whole system at fixed intervals, or for a subset of particles before- and after a DecayAction / ScatterAction / Action.

QuantumNumbers can also be used to store, and retrieve, the total value of the quantum numbers in e.g. a ScatterAction, before distributing it to the new particles.

Currently, momentum conservation (including energy conservation), charge-, isospin3-, (net-) strangeness-, (net-) bottomness-, (net-) charmness- and (net-) baryon number conservation are checked. (It should be noted, or repeated, that only the net quantities are conserved, hence this is what is stored and compared with this class.)

Usage

QuantumNumbers before(particlelist);
do_something_with(particlelist);
QuantumNumbers after(particlelist);
printf("%s", before.report_deviations(after).c_str());
if (before != after) {
  throw std::runtime_error(before.report_deviations(after));
}
