This class implements the TVirtualMCDecayer interface.

The TPythia6 singleton object is used to decay particles. Note, that since this class modifies common blocks (global variables) it is defined as a singleton.

particle_list : partcle_data
              | particle_list particle_data
             ;
particle_data : particle_info
              | particle_info '\n' decay_list

The particle_info consists of 13 fields:

PDG code             int
Name                 string
Anti-particle name   string  if there's no anti-particle,
                             then this field must be the
                             empty string
Electic charge       int     in units of |e|/3
Color charge         int     in units of quark color charges
Have anti-particle   int     1 of there's an anti-particle
                             to this particle, or 0

The format to write these entries in are

" %9  %-16s  %-16s%3d%3d%3d%12.5f%12.5f%12.5f%13.gf%3d%d\n"

The decay_entry consists of 8 fields:
