Limit

User limits for a Monte Carlo simulation context.

Attributes

Name Type Description
distance number or nil Limit on the travelled distance, in m. Defaults to nil i.e. no limit.
grammage number or nil Limit on the travelled grammage in kg/m2. Defaults to nil i.e. no limit.
energy number or nil Limit on the kinetic energy, in GeV. In forward this sets a upper limit but in backward it sets a lower limit. Defaults to nil i.e. no limit.
time number or nil Limit on the proper time, in m/c. Defaults to nil i.e. no limit.

Note

This metatable has no proper constructor. It is instanciated when creating a new simulation Context and linked to the latter. Attributes can be modified in order to configure the simulation context.
