**************************************************************************** Calculations of bunching parameters characterizing local multiplicity fluctuations inside a phase space. Calculations are done up to BP(6) order For a Poisson distribution it should be 1 for all divisions Here are relevant papers: ========================== 1) LOCAL MULTIPLICITY FLUCTUATIONS IN HADRONIC Z DECAY.

Constructor Detail

BunchingParameters

public BunchingParameters(int NmaxOrder,
                          int Bins,
                          int step,
                          double Min,
                          double Max)

Initialize Bunching parameter.

Parameters:

NmaxOrder - Max order of the bunching parameter (starting from 2)!

Bins - Defines Max number of bins used to divide the phase space (>1). The actual number of divisions is step*Bins. Therefore, 10 bins with step=4 means 400 divisions between Min and Max

step - used to increase step for divisions

Min - Min value in X

Max - Max value in X

Method Detail

run

public void run(double[] v)

Collect information about sampling. Put this method in a loop and pass vector with particle characteristics.

Parameters:

v - - vector characterizing particles (like momentum, speed etc)

eval

public boolean eval()

Evaluate bunching parameters at the end of the run

Returns:

true if success

getBP

public P1D getBP(int order)

Return results: BP as a function of number of bins. The order should be >1 but smaller than 8

Parameters:

order - order of bunching parameter

Returns:

bunching parameters

public void doc()
