# LorentzVectorHEP | ||
|
||
Provides two types (and the conversion between the two): | ||
|
||
- `LorentzVector` (energy, px, py, pz) (from [LorentzVectors.jl](https://github.com/JLTastet/LorentzVectors.jl)) | ||
- `LorentzVectorCyl` (pt, eta, phi, mass) | ||
|
||
you can also use `fromPtEtaPhiE(pt, eta, phi, energy) --> LorentzVectorCyl`. | ||
|
||
and these functions for both of them: | ||
|
||
```julia | ||
px, py, pz, energy, pt, eta, phi, mass | ||
px, py, pz, energy, pt, rapidity, eta, phi, mass | ||
``` | ||
|
||
as well as these utility functions: | ||
|
||
```julia | ||
deltar, deltaphi, deltaeta, mt, mt2 | ||
``` | ||
(some of them have alias, `ΔR, Δϕ, Δη`) | ||
|
||
(some of them have aliases, `ΔR, Δϕ, Δη`) | ||
|
||
There are some unexported methods which are useful for more specialist use cases: | ||
|
||
```julia | ||
mass2, pt2, mt, mt2, mag | ||
``` | ||

ROOT adopts this convention for space-like 4-vectors, so that's some precedent

I'm trying to think if we should err on the side of not silently produce wrong results

Depends what one thinks of as being wrong. Negative mass is not ambiguous - but it may be surprising. I'm ok with rolling this back.

Yeah, I guess I mean if we error, it's trivial for user to do what they want. But not the other way, they may silently get wrong results

I checked in the Python Vector package and it also conforms to this behaviour:
