Detailed Description

vertex generator that can generate a primary vertex with one more particles of a given type, direction, energy, and polarization.

Allows for randomly isotropic direction and random transverse polarization of spin-1, mass=0 particles

void GLG4VertexGen_Gun::SetState (  G4String  newValues  )  [virtual]

Set state of the GLG4VertexGen_Gun, or show current state and explanation of state syntax if empty string provided. Format of argument to GLG4VertexGen_Gun::SetState: "pname momx_MeV momy_MeV momz_MeV KE_MeV polx poly polz mult", where pname is the name of a particle type (e-, mu-, U238, ...) mom*_MeV is a momentum in MeV/c KE_MeV is an optional override for kinetic energy pol* is an optional polarization vector. mult is an optional multiplicity of the particles. If mom*_MeV==0 and KE_MeV!=0, then random isotropic directions chosen. If pol*==0, then random transverse polarization for photons. Implements GLG4VVertexGen.
