Inelastic_Leptons

Structure used to define parameters for production of multigroup inelastic collisional cross-sections for leptons.

Mandatory field(s)

• N/A

Optional field(s) - with default values

• interaction_types::Dict{Tuple{DataType,DataType},Vector{String}} = Dict((Positron,Positron) => ["S"],(Positron,Electron) => ["P"],(Electron,Electron) => ["S","P"]) : Dictionary of the interaction processes types, of the form (incident particle,outgoing particle) => associated list of interaction type, which values correspond:
  • (Positron,Positron) => ["S"] : scattering of incident positrons
  • (Electron,Electron) => ["S"] : scattering of incident electrons
  • (Positron,Electron) => ["P"] : production of electrons by incident positrons
  • (Electron,Electron) => ["P"] : production of electrons by incident electrons

set_density_correction(this::Inelastic_Leptons,density_correction::String)

Set the Fermi density correction.

Input Argument(s)

• this::Inelastic_Leptons : inelastic leptons structure.
• density_correction::String : type of density effect:
  • fano : Fano density effect.
  • sternheimer : Sternheimer semi-empirical density effect.
  • none : no density effect.

Output Argument(s)

N/A

Examples

julia> elastic_leptons = Inelastic_Leptons()
julia> elastic_leptons.set_density_correction("sternheimer")

set_is_shell_correction(this::Inelastic_Leptons,is_shell_correction::Bool)
