The part bank was planned to be the interface into the Weygand/Cummings
PWA
program for CLAS. The particles in the part bank should consist of
the "stable" particles in the event typically pions, kaons, and
protons. Having CELEG produce part banks has a great utility to me
because:
1) I can have CELEG produce a data set with various mixes of
decay amplitudes I can then take these events and
analyze them directly in the PWA code and see if I get out
what I put in - this would be an invaluble check
on both CELEG and the PWA code.
2) I can use CELEG as a generic phase space generator which
I can use as the input of the for the production of
decay amplitudes essential and normalization integrals
for PWA analysis of data.
3) Having the output of the monte-carlo event generator look the
same as analysed data avoids me having to spend all
of my time writing code to transduce one bank into
another bank i.e. I can use the same code to directly
the compare data to the generted monte-carlo to investigate
all sorts of stuff.
So why get rid of it now that it has been put in to CELEG???? I assume
CELEG can be run in a mode where it does not produce the part bank
if some people find it offensive.
