Functions ##

Functions Documentation ##

function isLepton ##

inline bool isLepton(
    int pid
)

Note: BSM “leptons” don’t count

Is this a valid lepton ID?

function isBSMBoson ##

inline bool isBSMBoson(
    int pid
)

Is this a valid BSM boson (SUSY Higgs, W’, Z’)?

function isSMFundamental ##

inline bool isSMFundamental(
    int pid
)

Is this an SM fundamental particle?

function isSUSY ##

inline bool isSUSY(
    int pid
)

Is this a fundamental SUSY particle?

The MSSM extended Higgs sector is not counted as ‘SUSY’ particles, since they are not superpartners.

function isRHadron ##

inline bool isRHadron(
    int pid
)

Is this an R-hadron?

function isRhadron ##

inline bool isRhadron(
    int pid
)

Alias.

function isTechnicolor ##

inline bool isTechnicolor(
    int pid
)

Is this a technicolor particle?

function isExcited ##

inline bool isExcited(
    int pid
)

Is this an excited (composite) quark or lepton?

function isKK ##

inline bool isKK(
    int pid
)

Is this a Kaluza-Klein excitation?

function isLeptoQuark ##

inline bool isLeptoQuark(
    int pid
)

Is this a lepto-quark?

function isDarkMatter ##

inline bool isDarkMatter(
    int pid
)

Note:

• DM particles, including mediators, get the range 51-60
• Also covers other cases: Heavy neutral leptons (50), Light pseudo-scalar A in 2HDM (55), Z’ scalar UFO models (56)

Todo: Give a more explicit name to clarify that this does not cover all DM particles, e.g. LSP?

Is this a generic Dark Matter particle?

function isDM ##

inline bool isDM(
    int pid
)

Convenience alias.

function isHiddenValley ##

inline bool isHiddenValley(
    int pid
)

Is this a Hidden Valley particle.

function isExotic ##

inline bool isExotic(
    int pid
)

Is this an exotic particle?

function isFourthGen ##

inline bool isFourthGen(
    int pid
)

Is this a 4th generation particle?

function isMagMonopole ##

inline bool isMagMonopole(
    int pid
)

Is this from a magnetic monopole or dyon?

function isDyon ##

inline bool isDyon(
    int pid
)

Just treat a dyon as an alias for magmonopole for now.

function isQBall ##

inline bool isQBall(
    int pid
)

Note: Ad-hoc numbering for such particles is 100xxxx0, where xxxx is the charge in tenths.

Is this a Q-ball?

function isQball ##

inline bool isQball(
    int pid
)

Alias.

function isExcitedLepton ##

inline bool isExcitedLepton(
    int pid
)

Is this an excited lepton?

function isBlackHole ##

inline bool isBlackHole(
    int pid
)

function isAECO ##

inline bool isAECO(
    int pid
)

Is this an anomalously electrically charged particle (AECO)?

function isBSM ##

inline bool isBSM(
    int pid
)

Is this a BSM particle (including graviton)?

function isValid ##

inline bool isValid(
    int pid
)
