// A class to wrap the Pythia random number generator for use by EvtGen.

public:

  // Constructor.

  // Return a random number.

//==========================================================================

// A class to perform decays via the external EvtGen decay program,
// see http://evtgen.warwick.ac.uk/, the program manual provided with
// the EvtGen distribution, and D. J. Lange,
// Nucl. Instrum. Meth. A462, 152 (2001) for details.

// EvtGen performs a series of decays from some initial particle
// decay, rather than just a single decay, and so EvtGen cannot be
// interfaced through the standard external DecayHandler class without
// considerable complication. Consequently, EvtGen is called on the
// complete event record after all steps of Pythia are completed.

// Oftentimes a specific "signal" decay is needed to occur once in an
// event, and all other decays performed normally. This is possible
// via reading in a user decay file (with readDecayFile) and creating
// aliased particles with names ending with signalSuffix. By default,
// this is "_SIGNAL". When decay() is called, all particles in the
// Pythia event record that are of the same types as the signal
// particles are collected. One is selected at random and decayed via
// the channel(s) defined for that aliased signal particle. All other
// particles are decayed normally. The weight for the event is
// calculated and returned.

// It is also possible to specify a status needed to consider a
// particle as a signal candidate. This can be done by modifying the
// signals map, e.g. if the tau- is a signal candidate, then
//     EvtGenDecays.signals[15].status = 201
// will only only select as candidates any tau- with this status. This
// allows the event record to be changed before decays, so only
// certain particles are selected as possible signal candidates
// (e.g. passing kinematic requirements).

// Please note that particles produced from a signal candidate decay
// are not searched for additional signal candidates. This means that
// if B0 and tau- have been designated as signal, then a tau- from a
// W- decay would be a signal candidate, while a tau- from a B0 decay
// would not. This restriction arises from the additional complexity
// of allowing recursive signal decays. The following statuses are
// used: 93 for particles decayed with EvtGen, 94 for particles
// oscillated with EvtGen, 95 for signal particles, and 96 for signal
// particles from an oscillation.

// The constructor.

// The EvtGenDecays object is associated with a single Pythia
// instance. This is to ensure a consistent random number generator
// across the two, as well as any updates to particle data, etc. Note
// that if multiple EvtGenDecays objects exist, that they will modify
// one anothers particle databases due to the design of EvtGen.

// This constructor also sets all particles to be decayed by EvtGen as
// stable within Pythia. The parameters within Pythia used to check if
// a particle should be decayed, as described in the "Particle Decays"
// section of the Pythia manual, are set. Note that if the variable
// "limit" is set to "false", then no check will be made before
// decaying a particle with EvtGen.

// The constructor is designed to have the exact same form as the
// EvtGen constructor except for these five differences.
// (1) The first variable is the pointer to the Pythia object.
// (2) The third last argument is a flag to limit decays based on the
//     Pythia criteria (based on the particle decay vertex).
// (3) The second last argument is a flag if external models should be
//     passed to EvtGen (default is true).
// (4) The last argument is a flag if an FSR model should be passed
//     to EvtGen (default is true).
// (5) No random engine pointer is passed, as this is obtained from
//     Pythia.

//   pythiaPtrIn:      the pointer to the associated Pythia object.
//   decayFile:        the name of the decay file to pass to EvtGen.
//   particleDataFile: the name of the particle data file to pass to EvtGen.
//   extPtrIn:         the optional EvtExternalGenList pointer, this must be
//                     be provided if fsrPtrIn is provided to avoid double
//                     initializations.
//   fsrPtrIn:         the EvtAbsRadCorr pointer to pass to EvtGen.
//   mixing:           the mixing type to pass to EvtGen.
//   xml:              flag to use XML files to pass to EvtGen.
//   limit:            flag to limit particle decays based on Pythia criteria.
//   extUse:           flag to use external models with EvtGen.
//   fsrUse:           flag to use radiative correction engine with EvtGen.
