Final state particles after FSR, fragmentation and decay |
In case of the (quasi-)elastic process,
In case of the DIS process with both ISR and FSR, all of the lines have different contents in general.
As for di- events, there are 2 identical particles in the final state.
In GRAPE, those 2 particles are distinguished
in the following way;
