CylindricalGenerator.get_particle_type()

Get the particle type of the next particle to be generated.

Randomly generates a neutrino flavor according to the flavor ratio of the generator, and chooses neutrino or antineutrino based on ratios derived from the source type.

Returns

Particle.Type

Enum value for the type of the particle.

See also
