collision_time()

double smash::ScatterActionsFinder::collision_time ( const ParticleData &  p1, const ParticleData &  p2, double  dt, const std::vector< FourVector > &  beam_momentum  ) const

inline

Determine the collision time of the two particles.

Time of the closest approach is taken as collision time, if the geometric collision criterion is used. For stochastic criterion the time is distributed uniformly within the timestep.

Parameters

[in]	p1	First incoming particle
[in]	p2	Second incoming particle
[in]	dt	The maximum time interval at the current time step [fm]
[in]	beam_momentum	[GeV] List of beam momenta for each particle; only necessary for frozen Fermi motion

Returns

How long does it take for the two incoming particles to propagate before scattering [fm]. It's set equal to -1 if the two particles are not moving relative to each other.

JAM collision times from the closest approach in the two-particle center-of-mass-framem, see Hirano:2012yy [26] (5.13) and (5.14). The scatteraction is performed at the mean of these two times.

UrQMD collision time in computational frame, see Bass:1998ca [5] (3.28): position of particle 1: \(r_1\) [fm] position of particle 2: \(r_2\) [fm] velocity of particle 1: \(v_1\) velocity of particle 1: \(v_2\)

\[t_{coll} = - (r_1 - r_2) . (v_1 - v_2) / (v_1 - v_2)^2\]

Search for all the possible collisions within one cell.

This function is only used for counting the primary collisions at the beginning of each time step. (Although it's also called afterwards for searching the secondary collisions among the outgoing particles, no new actions will be found since the scattered pairs cannot scatter again.)

Parameters

[in]	dt	The maximum time interval at the current time step [fm]
[in]	gcell_vol	Volume of searched grid cell [fm^3]
[in]	beam_momentum	[GeV] List of beam momenta for each particle; only necessary for frozen Fermi motion

Returns

A list of possible scatter actions

max_transverse_distance_sqr()

double smash::ScatterActionsFinder::max_transverse_distance_sqr ( int  testparticles ) const

inline

The maximal distance over which particles can interact in case of the geometric criterion, related to the number of test particles and the maximal cross section.

Parameters

[in]

testparticles

Number of test particles.

Returns

Maximal transverse distance squared. [fm \(^{2}\)] Particle pairs whose transverse distance is larger than this are not checked for collisions in case of the default geometric collision criterion.

private

Check for a single pair of particles (id_a, id_b) if a collision will happen in the next timestep and create a corresponding Action object in that case.

Two criteria for the collision decision are supported: 1. The default geometric criterion from UrQMD Bass:1998ca [5] (3.27). 2. A stochastic collision criterion as introduced in Staudenmaier:2021lrg [56].

Parameters

[in]	data_a	First incoming particle
[in]	data_b	Second incoming particle
[in]	dt	Maximum time interval within which a collision can happen
[in]	beam_momentum	[GeV] List of beam momenta for each particle; only necessary for frozen Fermi motion
[in]	gcell_vol	(optional) volume of grid cell in which the collision is checked

Returns

A null pointer if no collision happens or an action which contains the information of the outgoing particles.

Note: gcell_vol is optional, since only find_actions_in_cell has (and needs) this information for the stochastic collision criterion.

check_collision_multi_part()

Check for multiple i.e.

more than 2 particles if a collision will happen in the next timestep and create a corresponding Action object in that case.

This is only possible for the stochastic collision criterion, which is introduced in Staudenmaier:2021lrg [56]. Following the same general idea as for the 2-particle scatterings, probabilities for multi-particle scatterings can be derived.

Parameters

[in]	plist	List of incoming particles
[in]	dt	Maximum time interval within which a collision can happen
[in]	gcell_vol	volume of grid cell in which the collision is checked

Returns

A null pointer if no collision happens or an action which contains the information of the outgoing particles.
