Detailed Description

Implementation of the JScatteringModel interface with scattering according to the Henyey-Greenstein function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ JHenyeyGreensteinScattering()

JMARKOV::JHenyeyGreensteinScattering::JHenyeyGreensteinScattering	(	double	_lambda_scat,
		double	_g )

inline

Constructor.

g is a parameter that determines how forward the scattering is. g = 0 corresponds to isotropic scattering g = 1 corresponds to fully forward scattering

Definition at line 413 of file JScatteringModel.hh.

                                                                  {
      lambda_scat  = _lambda_scat ;
      g = _g ;

Member Function Documentation

◆ getScatteringProbability()

double JMARKOV::JHenyeyGreensteinScattering::getScatteringProbability ( double ct )

inlinevirtual

Return the probability density as a function of cos(theta)

dP / dOmega = dP / dcosTheta dPhi

to scatter in a given direction. Theta=0 is forward scattering.

Implements JMARKOV::JScatteringModel.

Definition at line 418 of file JScatteringModel.hh.

                                                 {
      //double ct = cos(dir.getTheta()) ;
      double den = 1 + g*g - 2*g*ct ;
      return (1-g*g)/(4*M_PI*den*sqrt(den)) ;
    }

◆ generateDirection()

JVersor3D JMARKOV::JHenyeyGreensteinScattering::generateDirection ( )

inlinevirtual

Return a randomly generated direction according to the scattering probability distribution.

This uses gRandom.

Implements JMARKOV::JScatteringModel.

Definition at line 424 of file JScatteringModel.hh.

                                  {
      double phi = gRandom->Uniform(0,2*M_PI) ;
      double ct ;
      if( g>0 ) { 
        double xi  = gRandom->Uniform(0,1) ;
        ct  = 1.0/(2*g) * ( 1 + g*g - (1-g*g)*(1-g*g)/( (1-g+2*g*xi)*(1-g+2*g*xi) ) ) ;
      } else {
        ct = gRandom->Uniform(-1,1) ;
      }
      return JDirection3D( JAngle3D( acos(ct),phi) ) ;
    }
