Detailed Description

Simple helix.

Assuming constant magnetic field in (positive) Z-direction

Definition at line 434 of file gblsit.py.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__init__()

def gblpy.gblsit.gblSimpleHelix.__init__	(		self,
			parameter
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

[in]

parameter

helix parameter (curv, phi0, dca, dzds, z0); list

For comparison: Generalized circle equation: n_0 + x*n_1 + y*n_2 + (x*x+y*y)*n_3 = 0, n_0 ~= -dca, (n_1, n_2) = -(cos(phi_0), sin(phi_0)), n_3 = 0.5*rinv
