Detailed Description

The class tracking_leapfrog_curved::Tracking is based on the Bachelor thesis of Andre Schmidt (KIT).

It implements a two-step leap-frog algorithm, but with analytically exact geometric intersections between leap-frog steps and geometric volumes (spheres, planes).

Note that leap-frog times and length always reflect the actual properties of the final step. The internal steplength is slightly shorter, because the second halve steps of the algorithm is slightly longer than the first one (in principle violating |v|=const).

Member Function Documentation

intersect() [1/3]

template<typename TParticle >

static Intersections corsika::tracking_leapfrog_curved::Tracking::intersect ( TParticle const &  particle, Sphere const &  sphere  )

static

find intersection of Sphere with Track

Returns intersection of particle assuming a curved leap-frog step, with a sphere. Entry and exit times are calculated, where the velocity is constant and the steplength is the geometric steplength of the leap-frog.

Parameters

particle	Current particle state
sphere	Sphere object

intersect() [2/3]

template<typename TParticle , typename TBaseNodeType >

static Intersections corsika::tracking_leapfrog_curved::Tracking::intersect ( TParticle const &  particle, TBaseNodeType const &  node  )

static

find intersection of any Volume node with particle

The intersection time(s) of a particle, assuming a curved leap-frog step, are calculated for any volume type.

intersect() [3/3]

template<typename TParticle >

static Intersections corsika::tracking_leapfrog_curved::Tracking::intersect ( TParticle const &  particle, Plane const &  plane  )

static

find intersection of Plane with Track

Intersection times of particle are caculated with a plane, assuming a curved leap frog trajectory. The intersection time is assuming constant velocity (no change) along the geometric leap-frog step.

Template Parameters

TParticle

Type of particle object on stack.

Parameters

particle	Particle initial state.
plane	Plane.

Returns

Intersections in time units.
