Detailed Description

Pythia8 parton selector derived from the base parton selector.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Pythia8PartonSelector::Pythia8PartonSelector

(

)

This is a Pythia8-specific parton selector that selects all partons that don't have other partons as daughters, i.e., partons from the end of the parton showering sequence. An explanation of the particle status codes returned by Pythia8 can be found in Pythia8 online manual (http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/pythia81html/ParticleProperties.html).
