Are there PDG IDs of the ions from t to let say Be?
If I see the original PDG tables, there are no,
but in R3BRoot one can set a very long number for t or alpha and they seems to be generated.

Is there a list of PDG IDs available in FAIRRoot/R3BRoot?

Oleg.

I am not aware of such list. FairRoot uses TDatabasePDG class to handle PDGs.

But PDG for ions will not help you. This long generated PDG is for internal Geant usage. Input ions have to be specified by setting Z and A in R3BIonGenerator or in AsciiGenerator, which will properly register a new ion in transport code.

Best regards,
Dima

We have strange problem with Alphas (4He).
Should it work with AsciiGenerator - as the ion with A = 4 and Z = 2?
Up to now does not work.

Please post the line of your ASCII file where the alpha is defined. Yes, it should work with Z=2 and A=4. Do not forget -1 as first parameter. Example event:

0 1 0. 0.
  -1  2  4  px py pz vx vy vz 3.727379508


Or, alternatively, the Ion generator in r3ball.C:

R3BIonGenerator *gen = new R3BIonGenerator(2, 4, 2, 10, 0., 0., 1.); // 10 alpha's with pz = 1 GeV
primGen->AddGenerator(gen);

The fix for not recognised Alpha particle is already committed to central repository (dev branch).
