Detailed Description

A metadata class to load tabulated solar axion fluxes.

TRestAxionSolarFlux encapsulates common metadata members and methods that can be later used as a common way to evaluate the axion solar flux from different implementations.

At present, two different implemenations exist: TRestAxionSolarQCDFlux and TRestAxionSolarHiddenPhotonFlux.

Common metadata members defined by this class

In order to trace the nature and intensity of the coupling in future ray-tracking results we need to define the parameters couplingType and couplingStrength. The ray-tracing processing will be done for different coupling components in different event processing chains that will be combined in a final sensitivity plot.

couplingType: A string describing the coupling type, i.e. g_ag, g_ae, g_an, ...
couplingStrength: The intensity of the coupling used to calculate the values given in the solar flux tables.

Pre-generated solar axion flux tables

Some tables will be available at the axionlib-data repository. The different RML flux definitions used to load those tables will be found at the fluxes.rml file found at the axionlib-data repository.

Inside a local REST installation, the fluxes.rml file will be found at the REST installation directory, and it will be located automatically by the TRestMetadata::SearchFile method when initializing a TRestAxionSolarFlux class.

Re-implementing a specific TRestAxionSolarXYZFlux class

Different pure virtual methods must be re-implemented in the inherited class:

IntegratedFluxInRange: It should return a double value with the total integrated flux in cm-2 s-1 for a given energy range.
GetTotalFlux: It should return the total flux in cm-2 s-1
GetRandomEnergyAndRadius: It should return a random (energy,radius) sample based on the flux distribution initialized.
LoadTables: It is called by TRestAxionSolarFlux::Initialize to allow the inherited class to load all the necessary tables in memory.
GetEnergySpectrum: It should return a TH1F pointer with a energy spectrum histogram.

protected

Constructor loading data from a config file.

If no configuration path is defined using TRestMetadata::SetConfigFilePath the path to the config file must be specified using full path, absolute or relative.

The default behaviour is that the config file must be specified with full path, absolute or relative.

Parameters

cfgFileName	A const char* giving the path to an RML file.
name	The name of the specific metadata. It will be used to find the corresponding TRestAxionMagneticField section inside the RML.
