Description

Add EvtBcVPPHad model for Bc to Jpsi p pbar pi decays and generalise the particle ordering for EvtBcVHad decay files, courtesy of Aleksei Luchinsky, Dmitrii Pereima & Vanya Belyaev (LHCb). Code from LHCb Sim09 Gauss MR915.

Updated EvtPhiDalitz model to use helicity amplitudes and fixed the indices used in the EvtVector3R::dot() function, courtesy of Arnau Brossa Gonzalo & Antonio Romero Vidal (LHCb). Code from LHCb Sim09 Gauss MR971.

Here are the JSON test distributions for the EvtBcVPPHad and EvtPhiDalitz model updates, which includes some comparisons with tests done by the previous LHCb code review:

There is a bug in the number of spin polarisation terms used for the J/psi amplitude in the LHCb Sim09 version of EvtBcVPPHad::decay(). It loops over 4 components when it should be only 3, which has been corrected in D100. This would need to be fixed for Sim09.
