Global Variables

Classes for semi-automatic calculation of global variables in event analysis.

Global variables

A global variable is an analysis tool for condensing the information in a multibody event into one or a few characteristic values. A simple example is the event multiplicity (the number of particles in each event), which can be used to characterize heavy-ion collision events in terms of violence or centrality.

In KaliVeda, the base class for a multibody event is KVEvent, which is basically a collection of nuclei (base class KVNucleus). Therefore the global variable classes can be used with any event described by a class derived from KVEvent, containing particles described by a class which inherits from KVNucleus.

For more information, see KVVarGlob and KVGVList.
