## TLorentzRotation

The TLorentzRotation class describes Lorentz transformations including Lorentz boosts and rotations (see TRotation)

`| xx xy xz xt |`
`| |`
`| yx yy yz yt |`
`lambda = | |`
`| zx zy zz zt |`
`| |`
`| tx ty tz tt |`

### Declaration

By default it is initialized to the identity matrix, but it may also be intialized by an other `TLorentzRotation`,
by a pure TRotation or by a boost:

`TLorentzRotation l; // l is initialized as identity`
`TLorentzRotation m(l); // m = l`
`TRotation r;`
`TLorentzRotation lr(r);`
`TLorentzRotation lb1(bx,by,bz);`
`TVector3 b;`
`TLorentzRotation lb2(b);`

The Matrix for a Lorentz boosts is:

`| 1+gamma'*bx*bx gamma'*bx*by gamma'*bx*bz gamma*bx |`
`| gamma'*bx*bz 1+gamma'*by*by gamma'*by*by gamma*by |`
`| gamma'*bz*bx gamma'*bz*by 1+gamma'*bz*bz gamma*bz |`
`| gamma*bx gamma*by gamma*bz gamma |`

with the boost vector `b=(bx,by,bz)` and`gamma=1/Sqrt(1-beta*beta)` and`gamma'=(gamma-1)/beta*beta.`

### Access to the matrix components/Comparisons

Access to the matrix components is possible through the member functions XX(), XY() .. TT(),
through the operator (int,int):

`Double_t xx;`
`TLorentzRotation l;`
`xx = l.XX(); // gets the xx component`
`xx = l(0,0); // gets the xx component`

`if (l==m) {...} // test for equality`
`if (l !=m) {...} // test for inequality`
`if (l.IsIdentity()) {...} // test for identity`

### Transformations of a LorentzRotation

##### Compound transformations

There are four possibilities to find the product of two `TLorentzRotation` transformations:

`TLorentzRotation a,b,c;`
`c = b*a; // product`
`c = a.MatrixMultiplication(b); // a is unchanged`
`a *= b; // Attention: a=a*b`
`c = a.Transform(b) // a=b*a then c=a`

##### Lorentz boosts

`Double_t bx, by, bz;`
`TVector3 v(bx,by,bz);`
`TLorentzRotation l;`
`l.Boost(v);`
`l.Boost(bx,by,bz);`

##### Rotations

`TVector3 axis;`
`l.RotateX(TMath::Pi()); // rotation around x-axis`
`l.Rotate(.5,axis); // rotation around specified vector`

##### Inverse transformation

The matrix for the inverse transformation of a TLorentzRotation is as follows:
`| xx yx zx -tx |`
`| |`
`| xy yy zy -ty |`
`| |`
`| xz yz zz -tz |`
`| |`
`|-xt -yt -zt tt |`
To return the inverse transformation keeping the current unchanged use the memberfunction `Inverse()`.
`Invert()` inverts the current `TLorentzRotation`:

`l1 = l2.Inverse(); // l1 is inverse of l2, l2 unchanged`
`l1 = l2.Invert(); // invert l2, then l1=l2`

### Transformation of a TLorentzVector

To apply `TLorentzRotation` to `TLorentzVector` you can use either the `VectorMultiplication()` member function or the `*` operator. You can also use the `Transform()` function and the `*=` operator of the `TLorentzVector` class.:

`TLorentzVector v;`
`...`
`v=l.VectorMultiplication(v);`
`v = l * v;`

`v.Transform(l);`
`v *= l; // Attention v = l*v`
