Detailed Description

Read a HepMC3 event record file and create primary particles.

Each operator() call returns a vector of primaries from a single event until all events have been read. Supported formats are Asciiv3, IO_GenEvent, HEPEVT, and LHEF.

Todo:

Define ImportPrimary with double precision.

operator()()

auto celeritas::EventReader::operator() ( )

inlinefinalvirtual

Read a single event from the event record.

Note

Units are converted manually from HepMC3 to Celeritas rather than using GenEvent::set_units(). This method converts the momentum units of all particles and the length units of all daughter vertices; however, it does not convert the length units of the root vertex. This means any particle without a vertex will not have the correct units for position and time. This may also be true for any vertices that do not have a position assigned, as their positions will be inherited from the vertices of their ancestors (or by falling back on the event position).

Implements celeritas::EventReaderInterface.
