Detailed Description

This class implements the shock physics.

The input shell is the material already shocked, that contains an excess of energy due to the inelastic collision. This class calculates the magnetic field and the parameters to determine the distribution of the shocked accelerated electrons.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GRBShock::GRBShock (  GRBShell    Shocked_Material )

Calculates the magnetic field and the particle acceleration in the shocked material. Parameters: Shocked_Material  represents the shocked region.

Member Function Documentation

double GRBShock::Eint (    )  const [inline]

Internal energy. Is the internal energy in the shocked material. Part of it is converted into magnetic field and part of it is needed to accelerate particles.

double GRBShock::getGammaf (    )  const [inline]

The Lorentz factor of the shocked material. It is needed to compute the energy transformation.
