DMaterial Class Reference

The DMaterial class holds information on a single material type. The main purpose is to hold information needed to estimate energy loss and multiple scattering for particles being swum through the detector. The GetdEdx() method can be used to calculate dE/dx through this material for a given particle type and mometum using the Bethe formula. More...

Detailed Description

The DMaterial class holds information on a single material type. The main purpose is to hold information needed to estimate energy loss and multiple scattering for particles being swum through the detector. The GetdEdx() method can be used to calculate dE/dx through this material for a given particle type and mometum using the Bethe formula.
