SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use HEP::MCNS qw(particle_name particle_code);
my $electron_name = particle_name( 11 );
my $bzero_name = particle_name( 511 );
my $bplus_code = particle_code( 'B+' );
my $dstar_code = particle_code( 'D*0' );
            
          

DESCRIPTION

The Monte Carlo Numbering Scheme assigns a unique identifier to each particle. This module converts those numbers into readable particle names and vice versa.

If any number is missing/wrong, please file an issue.

LaTeX output is planned but not yet implemented

FUNCTIONS

particle_name

takes the Monte Carlo number as input and prints the particle name

particle_code
