#ifndef MULTI_QUARK_CONTENT_HH
#define MULTI_QUARK_CONTENT_HH
// Added to handle quark contents of mixed particles.
// For most particles, it will have only a single
// entry. But for mixed particles such as K-short
// with a quark content of p(dS)+q(Ds),
// MultiQuarkContent will contain one entry
// for each flavour option (i.e. dS and Ds, in this case).
// When adding up quark contents, all possibilities
// are considered (so if you add together the quark contents
// of two mixed particles, you get a MultiQuarkContent
// vector that contains four options).
// Used to see if a decay is comparible with being
// a strong/QED decay (quark contents compatible)
// or not. BW_BW.C uses this, for example, to
// determine if it should consider Parity conservation
// when determining the lowest possible angular
// momentum of a decay.
