lha-0.1.1: Data/LHA.lhs

| This module provides data structures for HEP events, as outlined by the Les
  Houches Accord (hep-ph/0109068v1). It attempts to be as close as possible to
  a direct haskell translation of the accord. Other relevant documents include:

| Describes the properties of an event generation run. Note that this data
  structure does not contain the generated event information.

> data Run = Run
>   { runBeam :: (Beam, Beam)

^ The properties of the two beams being used in this run.

>   , idwt    :: Int

^ Switch dictating how the event weights are to be interpreted.

>   , nProc   :: Int

^ The number of different subprocesses being used.

>   , procs   :: [Subprocess]

^ List of all subprocesses being used.

>   }


| Represents the properties of a single beam particle.

> data Beam = Beam
>   { beamPDG :: Int

^ ID of the beam particle according to the Particle Data Group convention.

>   , beamE   :: Double

^ Energy in GeV of the beam particle.

>   , pdfg    :: Int

^ Author group for the beam, according to the Cernlib PDFlib specification.

>   , pdfs    :: Int

^ PDF set ID for the beam, according to the Cernlib PDFlib specification.

>   }


| Describes the properties of a subprocess.

> data Subprocess = Subprocess
>   { procXSec  :: Double

^ The cross-section of this subprocess, in pb.

>   , procXErr  :: Double

^ The statistical error associated with the value of procXSec.

>   , procId    :: Int
>   }


| Describes a single particle component of a generated event.

> data Particle = Particle
>   { partPDG   :: Int

^ ID of the particle according to the Particle Data Group convention.

>   , status    :: ParticleStatus

^ Status code of the particle.

>   , mothers   :: (Int, Maybe Int)
