pdg_system_of_units_sgl

class reactions.pdg_system_of_units_sgl

Bases: object

Object to serve as an interface with the PDG system of units. This object is declared as a singleton. Any call from a PDG element to an accessor will use the system of units defined in this class. Currently only the energy units can be modified, which must be eV, keV, MeV, GeV, TeV or PeV. The GeV units are used by default.

Methods Summary

get_energy_units	Get the current units of energy for the masses and widths of PDG elements
set_energy_units	Set the units of energy for the masses and widths of PDG elements
