TLorentzVector is a general four-vector class, which can be used either for the description of position and time (x,y,z,t) or momentum and energy (px,py,pz,E).
TLorentzVector has been implemented as a set a TVector3 and a Double_t variable. By default all components are initialized by zero.
For backward compatibility there are two constructors from an Double_t and Float_t C array.
There are two sets of access functions to the components of a LorentzVector: X(), Y(), Z(), T() and Px(), Py(), Pz() and E(). Both sets return the same values but the first set is more relevant for use where TLorentzVector describes a combination of position and time and the second set is more relevant where TLorentzVector describes momentum and energy:
The components of TLorentzVector can also accessed by index:
You can use the Vect() member function to get the vector component of TLorentzVector:
For setting components also two sets of member functions can be used:
To set more the one component by one call you can use the SetVect() function for the TVector3 part or SetXYZT(), SetPxPyPzE(). For convenience there is
also a SetXYZM():
There are a couple of member functions to get and set the TVector3 part of the parameters in spherical coordinate systems:
or get information about the r-coordinate in cylindrical systems:
for convenience there are two more set functions SetPtEtaPhiE(pt,eta,phi,e); and SetPtEtaPhiM(pt,eta,phi,m);
The TLorentzVector class provides operators to add, subtract or compare four-vectors:
The scalar product of two four-vectors is calculated with the (-,-,-,+) metric,
i.e. s = v1*v2 = t1*t2-x1*x2-y1*y2-z1*z2
The magnitude squared mag2 of a four-vector is therefore:
It mag2 is negative mag = -Sqrt(-mag*mag). The member functions are:
Since in case of momentum and energy the magnitude has the meaning of invariant mass TLorentzVector provides the more meaningful aliases M2() and M(); The member functions Beta() and Gamma() returns beta and gamma = 1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta).
A boost in a general direction can be parameterised with three parameters which can be taken as the components of a three vector b = (bx,by,bz). With x = (x,y,z) and gamma = 1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta) (beta being the module of vector b), an arbitrary active Lorentz boost transformation (from the rod frame to the original frame) can be written as:
The member function Boost() performs a boost transformation from the rod frame to the original frame. BoostVector() returns a TVector3 of the spatial components divided by the time component:
There are four sets of functions to rotate the TVector3 component of a TLorentzVector:
v.Rotate(TMath::Pi()/4., v1); // rotation around v1
Member functions Plus() and Minus() return the positive and negative light-cone components:
CAVEAT: The values returned are T{+,-}Z. It is known that some authors find it easier to define these components as (T{+,-}Z)/sqrt(2). Thus check what definition is used in the physics you're working in and adapt your code accordingly.
A general Lorentz transformation see class TLorentzRotation can be used by the Transform() member function, the *= or operator of the TLorentzRotation class:
