getArclengthFromGrammage()

virtual LengthType corsika::IMediumModel::getArclengthFromGrammage ( BaseTrajectory const &  , GrammageType    ) const

pure virtual

Calculates the length along the trajectory.

The length along the trajectory is determined at which the integrated matter density is reached. If the specified matter density cannot be reached (is too large) the result becomes meaningless and could be "infinity" (discuss this).

Returns

LengthType the length corresponding to grammage.

getIntegratedGrammage()

virtual GrammageType corsika::IMediumModel::getIntegratedGrammage ( BaseTrajectory const &  ) const

pure virtual

Integrate the matter density along trajectory.

Returns

GrammageType as integrated matter density along the BaseTrajectory

Todo:

think about the mixin inheritance of the trajectory vs the BaseTrajectory approach; for now, only lines are supported (?).
