Creating uniform LUND files

The LUND file is created by creating an isotropic distribution of particles within the energy range of 2MeV-5.5GeV as is found through GEANT simulation. These particles are also uniformly distributed through the angle theta with respect to the beam line in the range 5-40 degrees. This is done at a set angle phi (10 degrees) with respect to the perpendicular components with respect to the beam line.

For an incoming electron of 11GeV striking a stationary electron we would expect:

Since the angle phi has been constrained to remain constant, the x and y components of the momentum will increase in the positive first quadrant. This implies that the z component of the momentum must decrease by the relation:

[math]p^2=p_x^2+p_y^2+p_z^2[/math]

In the Center of Mass frame, this becomes:

[math]p_x^{*2}-p_y^{*2} = p^{*2}-p_z^{*2}[/math]


Since the momentum in the CM frame is a constant, this implies that pz must decrease.

We can use the variable rapidity:

[math]y \equiv \ln \left(\frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z}\right)[/math]

where

[math] P^+ \equiv E+p_z[/math]
[math] P^- \equiv E-p_z[/math]

this implies that as

[math]p_z \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow 1 \Rrightarrow \ln 1 \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow y=0[/math]


[math]p_z \rightarrow E \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow \infin \Rrightarrow \ln \infin \rightarrow \infin \Rrightarrow y \rightarrow \infin [/math]
[math]p_z \rightarrow -E \Rrightarrow \frac{E+p_z}{E-p_z} \rightarrow 0 \Rrightarrow \ln 0 \rightarrow -\infin \Rrightarrow y \rightarrow -\infin [/math]
