Detailed Description

Class to read Hepevt files and store the content in a MCParticle graph.

The reader supports retrieving the Hepevt information from an ascii text file. Both formats, the short and the long LUND 7 format are supported.

The events are read sequentially with the option of skipping a certain number of events. Random access of events is not possible.

Member Function Documentation

BELLE2_DEFINE_EXCEPTION()

BELLE2_DEFINE_EXCEPTION	(	HepEvtEmptyEventError	,
		"Line %1%: Number of particles in event is %2% ! (This could mean EOF is reached.) "
	)

Exception is thrown if the number of particles for this event is 0 or less.

getEvent()

int getEvent	(	MCParticleGraph &	graph,
		double &	weight
	)

Reads the next event and stores the result in the given MCParticle graph.

Parameters

graph	Reference to the graph which should be filled with the information from the Hepevt file.
weight	Reference to the event weight which can be filled from the file.

Returns

event numer if the event could be read and the number was provided in the file.
