When I tried to learn the implementation of rayleight scattering, I was confused that it looks different from the theoretical formula.
The formula in Physics Reference Manual:
$$
\Psi(E,\theta) = [1+cos^2\theta]sin\theta \times FF^2(q)
$$
and in Technical_5.pdf (in2p3.fr), the FF(q) can be discribed with PP0~PP8:
$$
FF(q) = \frac{PP0^2 - PP1 - PP2}{(1+PP3\times q^2)^{PP6}} + \frac{PP1}{(1+PP4\times q^2)^{PP7}} + \frac{PP2}{(1+PP5 \times q^2)^{PP8}}
$$
but in G4RayleighAngularGenerator::SampleDirection
, I can’t connect formula to the code.

- what do
numlim
,w0
,w1
,w2
,n0
,n1
,n2
,b0
,b1
,b2
,x0
,x1
,x2
mean. - why do
w0
,w1
,w2
have two representations depend onx < numlim
- I can’t find what is represent FF(q) in this code.
- why was the
do {} while
circulation used here.
