Helper Functions

There are many useful functions available to check additional properties of particles, like their types, composition, charge etc.

All of them take either a Particle, a PDGID or a simple Integer (or anything which can be converted to an Integer) which represents a PDG ID, as input, so that the general API is the following:

helperfunction(p::Union{Particle, PDGID, Integer})

Here is a list of the currently available helper functions:
