import qrules.conservation_rules

Collection of quantum number conservation rules for particle reactions.

This module is the place where the ‘expert’ defines the rules that verify quantum numbers of the reaction.

A rule is a function that takes quantum numbers as input and outputs a boolean. There are three different types of rules:

  1. GraphElementRule that work on individual graph edges or nodes.

  2. EdgeQNConservationRule that work on the interaction level, which use ingoing edges, outgoing edges as arguments. E.g.: ChargeConservation.

  3. ConservationRule that work on the interaction level, which use ingoing edges, outgoing edges and a interaction node as arguments. E.g: parity_conservation.

The arguments can be any type of quantum number. However a rule argument resembling edges only accepts EdgeQuantumNumbers. Similarly arguments that resemble a node only accept NodeQuantumNumbers. The argument types do not have to be limited to a single quantum number, but can be a composite (see CParityEdgeInput).

Warning

Besides the rule logic itself, a rule also has the responsibility of stating its run conditions. These run conditions must be stated by the type annotations of its __call__ method. The type annotations therefore are not just there for static type checking: they also carry more information about the rule that is extracted dynamically by the solving module.

Generally, the conditions can be separated into two categories:

  • variable conditions

  • toplogical conditions

Currently, only variable conditions are being used. Topological conditions could be created in the form of Tuple instead of List.

For additive quantum numbers, the decorator additive_quantum_number_rule can be used to automatically generate the appropriate behavior.

The module is therefore strongly typed (both for the reader of the code and for type checking with mypy). An example is HelicityParityEdgeInput, which has been defined to provide type checks on parity_conservation_helicity.
