17// Class AliGenPileup
18// This is a generator of beam-beam pileup.
19// It generates interactions within 3 orbits (+-1) around
20// the trigger event. The trigger event itself is chosen
21// randomly among the bunch crossings within the central orbit.
22// The user can decide whenever to include in the simulation the
23// "trigger" interaction or not. This is handled by the
24// GenerateTrigInteraction(Bool_t flag) method.
25// In the case the trigger interaction is included, it is
26// generated using the same settings (vertex smear for example) as
27// the pileup events.
28// In case the trigger simulation is not included, the user can make
29// a cocktail of generator used to produce the trigger interaction and
30// AliGenPileup. In this case in order to avoid a fake increase of the rate around the
31// trigger, the number of background events within the bunch
32// crossing of the trigger is readuced by one.
33// The beam profile (the list of the active bunch crossings) can be
34// controlled via the SetBCMask(const char *mask) method. The syntax
35// follows the one in AliTriggerBCMask class. For example:
36// "3564H" would mean that all the bunch corssings within the orbit
37// are aloowed (which is of course unphysical). In case one wants to simulate
38// one-bunch-crossing-per-orbit scenario, the way to do it is to put something like:
39// "1H3563L" or similar.
40// The SetGenerator(AliGenerator *generator, Float_t rate) method is
41// used in order to define the generator to be used. The second argument is the pileup
42// rate in terms of #_of_interactions/bunch-crossing = sigma_tot * luminosity.
43// The pileup generation time window can be set via
44// AliGenerator::SetPileUpTimeWindow(Float_t pileUpTimeW) method. By the default the
45// window is set to 88micros (= TPC readout window).
