default_setup(self)
Function called to create and setup default values for all object properties

source code

filter(self, name, value)
Filter for model property values

source code

D[k] if k in D, else d

get(self, name)
Get the value of the property name.

source code

set(self, name, value)
Special set for particles and interactions - need to regenerate dictionaries.

source code

get_sorted_keys(self)
Return process property names as a nicely sorted list.

source code

get_particle(self, id)
Return the particle corresponding to the id

source code

get_interaction(self, id)
Return the interaction corresponding to the id

source code

get_coupling_orders(self)
Determine the coupling orders of the model

source code

get_order_hierarchy(self)
Set a default order hierarchy for the model if not set by the UFO.

source code

get_particles_hierarchy(self)
Returns the order hierarchies of the model and the particles which have interactions in at least this hierarchy (used in find_optimal_process_orders in MultiProcess diagram generation):

source code

get_max_WEIGHTED(self)
Return the maximum WEIGHTED order for any interaction in the model, for equivalent 3-particle vertices.

source code

Return True if there is fermion flow violation, False otherwise

source code

reset_dictionaries(self)
Reset all dictionaries and got_majoranas.

source code

source code

get_first_non_pdg(self)
Return the first positive number that is not a valid PDG code

source code

write_param_card(self)
Write out the param_card, and return as string.

Method Details

default_setup(self)

source code

Function called to create and setup default values for all object properties

Overrides: PhysicsObject.default_setup: (inherited documentation)

filter(self, name, value)

source code

Filter for model property values

Overrides: PhysicsObject.filter

get(self, name)

source code

Get the value of the property name.

Returns: D[k] if k in D, else d
Overrides: dict.get

set(self, name, value)

source code

Special set for particles and interactions - need to regenerate dictionaries.

Overrides: PhysicsObject.set

get_sorted_keys(self)

source code

Return process property names as a nicely sorted list.

Overrides: PhysicsObject.get_sorted_keys

get_particles_hierarchy(self)

source code

Returns the order hierarchies of the model and the particles which have interactions in at least this hierarchy (used in find_optimal_process_orders in MultiProcess diagram generation):

Check the coupling hierarchy of the model. Assign all particles to the different coupling hierarchies so that a particle is considered to be in the highest hierarchy (i.e., with lowest value) where it has an interaction.

get_max_WEIGHTED(self)

source code

Return the maximum WEIGHTED order for any interaction in the model, for equivalent 3-particle vertices. Note that it can be fractional.

reset_dictionaries(self)

source code

Reset all dictionaries and got_majoranas. This is necessary whenever the particle or interaction content has changed. If particles or interactions are set using the set routine, this is done automatically.
