Detailed Description

Physical (dynamic) state of a particle track.

The "physical state" is just about what differentiates this particle from another (type, energy, polarization, ...) in the lab's inertial reference frame. It does not include information about the particle's direction or position, nor about path lengths or collisions.

The energy is with respect to the lab frame. The particle state is immutable: collisions and other interactions should return changes to the particle state.
