Stand-alone version

It must be started in the console, using "java" command. The jar (Java archive) file MOMO.jar of the standalone version can be downloaded from the site below: Naruto Web server When its environment and a set of companion files are prepared (explained later), MOMO is capable of creating C++ main program, GNU makefile and compiling to make a running program. GAG (Geant4 Adaptive GUI) and gain (Geant4 adaptive interface for network) are available to steer the execution of Geant4 and are integrated in the present version of MOMO.

Java Web Start version

This version is of exactly the same MOMO as the stand-alone version with digital signature. When user clicks it in the Web browser, the jar file is downloaded automatically. Then, it asks him whether he wants to start it, trusting the signature.

MomoPlugin to JAS3

JAS3, when loaded with MomoPlugin.jar, offers similar functionalities as above. The current version of MomoPlugin.jar lacks some functions (creating main program, and makefile) found in the stand-alone version, as explained below. The plugin version can be used in conjunction with G4Plugin which steers the execution of Geant4. MomoPlugin and G4Plugin are available at SLAC. The main program must use G4UIrmi class to connect to G4Plugin. The front-end class G4UIrmi has a stronger point that G4UIGAG in that it is multi-threaded. So, user of G4Plugin + G4UIrmi can stop the execution of a long run without exiting, needless to say the powerful integrated environment for code development, steering the execution of simulation and analysing the results. This manual doesn't treat this interesting plugin.

                                 GAG / Gain / G4Plugin

• GGE to create detector C++ class files
• GPE to create physics list C++ class files
• Environment Panel to see and set the Geant4 environment variables which are used in the makefile generated by MOMO
• GAG to start a Geant4 application and to steer its execution
• Gain to start a Geant4 application at a remote site and to steer its execution

1. "Project" menus
   • the button to create a simple working main program which uses G4UIGAG interface and visualization drivers which are set on the MOMO's Env panel,
   • the button to create a Makefile using the environment variables set in the "Environment Panel". This makefile is made so that the environment variables set by the user within the "Environment Panel" oversede the ones defined in the parent terminal/login shell.
   • the button to compile all the files generated by MOMO and a set of companion files to make a running Geant4 executable file.
2. Help menu This document is displayed.

• A set of companion files complement the C++ source files generated by MOMO. They are stored in the canonical directory structure of Geant4. Among them are mandatory user-defined class and visualization manager. So MOMO with the companion files provide a complete set of running Geant4 simulation, as explained later.
• Examplary MOMO's persistent files of geometry and physics list are also included for demonstration.

Tables

It provides users with several tables into whose cells users can fill with their own detector parameters. Each row of the tables corresponds to a kind of instantiation or application of a certain method of a class.

Help user with Geant4 defaults

Default values, canonical units of Geant4, pre-defined Geant4 constants etc. are visually provided for user's choice.

C++ code generation

Using the data in the tables, even if they are partial and imcomplete, GGE can generate C++ source codes for a detector, only if the class name of the geometry is supplied.
If user wants so, C++ codes generated by GGE can be a complete description of a detector, including the definition of atoms, materials, solids, color attributes, logical volumes and physical volumes with rotations and translations.

• All necessary class names and their usages of the Geant4 class libraries are applied in automatic C++ code generation
• All necessary class definition files are included automatically
• Necessary local variables such as to define the rotation or translation are created when necessary. Naming conventions are explained later.
• The C++ source codes are saved into files and can be compiled to make a GEANT4 executable.

Persistency and Reuse of detector data

Full detector data and material data can be saved in the Java's serialization format or in the XML format a la GDML-1. It can be reloaded for later reuse. XML format a la GDML-1 is limited to materials and logical volumes. But XML file lacks some items in the MOMO's table due to GDML-1's present imcompleteness. Physical volumes aren't supported.

Companion files and Extra "Project" functions

• A set of companion files are provided to visualize the geometry and to run the simulation with the physics list. Files generated by GGE and GPE must be stored in the canonical sub-directories, therein. Details will be explained later.
• The stand-alone version of MOMO provides three menu buttons;
  • to generate a simple working main program. User has to supply the name of the main program, which MOMO uses for the G4TARGET.
  • to generate Momomake.gmk makefile. The environment variables set by a user are included in the Momomake.gmk.
  • to compile all. If MOMOHOME variable is defined to designate the position of the companion files, MOMO starts make command. Or user can use this makefile like;

          %make -f Momomake.gmk
    

1. "material from scratch" and
2. "compound materials".

3-4-2) Functionalities of the Material Editor

1. append, insert, edit and delete a material
   • material from scratch
     The name of an atom, numbers Z and A are taken from the atomic table. User has to specify its density, temperature and pressure. Canonical units and states can be choosen from the listbox.
     Although the scratch table shows the names of the elements in the second column, the corresponding instance in C++ is named "elementX", where "X" represents element's symbol, like "elementH", "elementNa".
   • material by combination (number or fractional ratios).
     When element(s) is(are) chosen in the periodic table of atoms, it(they) is(are) copied to tha table of scratch(compound) on the pression of "append" or "insert" button.
     If user selected multiple elements and pushed "insert" or "append" button of the scratch table, only the first element is copied. When the button of the compound table is pushed, all the selected elements are shown in the third column.
     To "insert" a row, user has to focus a row before the click on the menu button. A new row is created just below it.
   • User has to type in the name of a compound material, which is employed as the variable name in verbatim.
   • A pop-up window is displayed when he focuses and click on a third cell with the label "elements". There, compound by number or by fraction can be specified. The values are copied to the "elements" cell. To confirm, user can enlarge the width of the cell.
   • default states (and their canonical names) and values are provided (material state, temperature, pressure).
   • canonical physical units of GEANT4 are shown in selectable combo-boxes.
2. The first column "in Use" is to mark the materials used in user's detector (logical volumes). The default value is "in Use", when a row is created at the first time.
   • Only materials used in the logical volumes can be automatically checked and marked as "in Use" state by the "Mark the Used Materials" button on the Logical Volume Table, as seen below.
   • user can add any materials "in Use" to have C++ constructors, even when they aren't used in logical volumes.
3. input and output from/to persistent material file
   Material tables are saved to a Java's persistent file and can be reused. XML a la GDML format is also provided. Note that GDML is not yet complete and is lacking a part of definitions like material's state etc.
   • load, append or save a material file
   • exemplary persistent material database file "PDG.g4mt" and PDG.xml taken from the PDG data book are available.

• material from materials,
• isotope

1. Defining G4LogicalVolumes
   Each row of the logical vulume table represents an instance of the G4LogicalVolume constructor. User can append, insert or delete a row with corresponding buttons.
   The table has following columns;
   • The first column is to specify the name of a logical volume.
   • The second column is filled automatically by choosing one of the G4Solid types from the listbox.
     By clicking on the cell, user has a pop-up window to edit its parameters and preview with DAWN.
   • The third column is type-in cell for material name listed in the material editor. All the items already defined in the Material editor are diaplayed in the form of the listbox only to choose one.
   • The fourth column is to specify the visualization attribute's name. All the color names defined in the color chooser lists are displayed to choose one.
2. Selecting a G4Solid
   All Geant4 solids can be selected from the solid listbox, located at the right of "Select a Solid" label.
   • all CSG solids; box, tube segment, cone segment, symmetric trapezoid, sphere segment, parallel piped, torus segment, HYPE,
   • BREP solids; PolyCone segment and Polygone segment
3. After selecting a solid tyle, user pushes the "append" or "insert" button and a new row is created in the table.
4. By clicking on the "solid" cell (the second column), a pop up window appears to specify solid's parameters. User can
   • type in parameters and select canonical units of CSG solids
   • add any number of nodes and facets of BREP solids and type in their parameters and select canonical units
   • preview with DAWN with automatically chosen world size
   • save DAWN format file of the solid

5. Defining G4Color
   The visualization attribute and its name are required by the logical volumes. They can be defined using a graphical color chooser. Each color's given unique name is listed in the editor panel. The RGB numbers defined by the chooser are taken to generate C++ codes.
   An example of code fragments generated by MOMO

   G4VisAttributes * lightblue= new G4VisAttributes( G4Colour(0/255. ,255/255. ,255/255. ));
   

6. "Make the used materials" button.
   Clicking this button, GGE scans the materials specified in the logical volume table and marks "in Use" cell (the first column ) of the material tables accordingly. All other materials not used in logical volumes are not marked. Note that only rows marked "in Use" are used to generate C++ codes.

3-6-2) Constructors of G4PVPlacement

1. Type 1 constructor = rotation of the frame, physical mother volume
2. Type 2 constructor = rotation of a body, physical mother volume

• C++ code lines are written out to a editor widget and can be edited and saved to a file. But edited file loses the correspondence with the tables contents or the persistent file.
• The required and necessary header files are automatically included; elements, solid types etc.
• The order of creating instances is following;
  1. G4Elements,
  2. G4Material,
  3. G4VisAttributes,
  4. G4Solids,
  5. G4LogicalVolume,
  6. Single Positioned Volumes,
  7. Repeated Volumes,
  8. Replicas
  9. return the instance name of the MARS
  Order of instantiation inside each section is from the first row to downward.

Physics List Table

This is shown in the upper half of the GPE. Every row represents a C++ code line to add the doublet of a particle (the first column) and an EM process (the second column) with the default parameters (from the third through fifth column). The name of a particle can be copied from the table below by a mouse click.

EM particle table and EM process table

Two tables are displayed in tabbed panes, respectively. User select a particle(s) within the particle table and then click the "Append" button. A new row is created in the Physics List Table with the default process "Null". Then, user chooses a process and click the "Change process" button.

10.5.1 The GNUmake system in Geant4

• architecture.gmk: defining all the architecture specific settings and paths. System settings are stored in $G4INSTALL/config/sys in separate files.
• common.gmk: defining all general GNUmake rules for building objects and libraries.
• globlib.gmk: defining all general GNUmake rules for building compound libraries.
• binmake.gmk: defining the general GNUmake rules for building executables.
• GNUmake scripts: placed inside each directory in the G4 distribution and defining directives specific to build a library (or a set of sub-libraries) or and executable.

• gmake
  This will start the compilation process for building a kernel library or a library associated to an example. Kernel libraries are built with maximum granularity, i.e. if a category is a compound one, this command will build all the related sub-libraries, _not_ the compound one. The top level GNUmakefile in $G4INSTALL/source will also build in this case a dependency map libname.map of each library to establish the linking order automatically at the bin step. The map will be placed in $G4LIB/$G4SYSTEM.
• gmake global
  It will start the compilation process to build a single compound kernel library per category. If issued sub-sequently to "gmake", both installations 'granular' and 'compound' libraries will be available (NOTE: will consistently increase the disk space required. Compound libraries will then be selected by default at link time, unless G4LIB_USE_GRANULAR is specified).
• gmake bin or gmake (only for examples/)
  It will start the compilation process to build an executable. This command will build implicitly the library associated to the example and link the final application. It assumes _all_ kernel libraries are already generated and placed in the correct $G4INSTALL path defined for them.
  The linking order is controlled automatically in case libraries have been built with maximum granularity, and the link list is generated on the fly.

The $G4INSTALL environment variable specifies where the installation of the Geant4 toolkit should take place, therefore kernel libraries will be placed in $G4INSTALL/lib. The $G4WORKDIR environment variable is set by the user and specifies the path to the user working directory; temporary files (object-files and data products of the installation process of Geant4) will be placed in $G4WORKDIR/tmp, according to the system architecture used. Binaries will be placed in $G4WORKDIR/bin, according to the system architecture used. The path to $G4WORKDIR/bin/$G4SYSTEM should be added to $PATH in the user environment.

10.5.2 Environment variables

• System configuration

  $CLHEP_BASE_DIR
  Specifies the path where the CLHEP package is installed in your system.

  $G4SYSTEM (!)
  Defines the architecture and compiler currently used. This variable should be set automatically by the installer script "g4install" (in case of installation of Geant4) or by the script "g4config" (in case of pre-installed Geant4 and initial configuration of the user's environment).

• Installation paths

  $G4INSTALL
  Defines the path where the Geant4 toolkit should be installed. It should be set by the system installer. By default, it sets to $HOME/geant4, assuming the Geant4 distribution is placed in $HOME.

  $G4BASE (!)
  Defines the path to the source code. Internally used to define $CPPFLAGS and $LDFLAGS for -I and -L directives. It has to be set to $G4INSTALL/src.

  $G4WORKDIR
  Defines the path for the user's workdir for Geant4. It is set by default to $HOME/geant4, assuming the user's working directory for Geant4 is placed in $HOME.

  $G4INCLUDE
  Defines the path where source header files may be mirrored at installation by issuing gmake includes (default is set to $G4INSTALL/include)

  $G4BIN, $G4BINDIR (!)
  Used by the system to specify the place where to store executables. By default they're set to $G4WORKDIR/bin and $G4BIN/$G4SYSTEM respectively. The path to $G4WORKDIR/bin/$G4SYSTEM should be added to $PATH in the user environment. $G4BIN can be overridden.

  $G4TMP, $G4TMPDIR (!)
  Used by the system to specify the place where to store temporary files products of the compilation/build of a user application or test. By default they're set to $G4WORKDIR/tmp and $G4TMP/$G4SYSTEM respectively. $G4TMP can be overridden.

  $G4LIB, $G4LIBDIR (!)
  Used by the system to specify the place where to store libraries. By default they're set to $G4INSTALL/lib and $G4LIB/$G4SYSTEM respectively. $G4LIB can be overridden.

• Build specific

  $G4TARGET
  Specifies the target (name of the source file defining the main()) of the application/example to be built. This variable is set automatically for the examples and tests placed in $G4INSTALL/examples.

  $G4EXEC_BUILD
  Flag specifying if to use a secondary template repository or not for handling template instantiations at the time of building a user application/example. For internal category tests in Geant4, this variable is already in the related GNUmakefile. It's however not needed for examples and tests in $G4INSTALL/examples, where class names are already mangled and different each other. It applies only on those compilers which make use of template repositories (see Appendix A.2 of this Guide). The secondary template repository is set to $G4TREP/exec.

  $G4DEBUG
  Specifies to compile the code (libraries or examples) including symbolic information in the object code for debugging. The size of the generated object code can increase considerably. By default, code is compiled in optimised mode ($G4OPTIMISE set).

  $G4NO_OPTIMISE
  Specifies to compile the code (libraries or examples) without compiler optimisation.

  $G4NO_STD_NAMESPACE
  To avoid using the std namespace in the Geant4 libraries.

  $G4NO_STD_EXCEPTIONS
  To avoid throwing of exceptions in Geant4.

  $G4_NO_VERBOSE
  Geant4 code is compiled by default in high verbosity mode ($G4VERBOSE flag set). For better performance, verbosity code can be left out by defining $G4_NO_VERBOSE.

  $G4LIB_BUILD_SHARED
  Flag specifying if to build kernel libraries as shared libraries (libraries will be then used by default). If not set, static archive libraries are built by default.

  $G4LIB_BUILD_STATIC
  Flag specifying if to build kernel libraries as static archive libraries in addition to shared libraries (in case $G4LIB_BUILD_SHARED is set as well).

  $G4LIB_USE_GRANULAR
  To force usage of "granular" libraries against "compound" libraries at link time in case both have been installed. The Geant4 building system chooses "compound" libraries by default, if installed.

• UI specific

  The most relevant flags for User Interface drivers are just listed here. A more detailed description is given also in section 2. of this User's Guide.

  G4UI_USE_TERMINAL
  Specifies to use dumb terminal interface in the application to be built (default).

  G4UI_BUILD_XM_SESSION, G4UI_BUILD_XAW_SESSION
  Specifies to include in kernel library the XM or XAW Motif-based user interfaces.

  Specifies to include in kernel library the WIN32 terminal interface for Windows systems.

  G4UI_USE_WIN32
  Specifies to use the WIN32 interfaces in the application to be built on Windows systems.

  G4UI_NONE
  If set, no UI sessions nor any UI libraries are built. This can be useful when running a pure batch job or in a user framework having its own UI system.

• Visualization specific

  The most relevant flags for visualization graphics drivers are just listed here. A description of these variables is given also in section 2. of this User's Guide.

  $G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER
  Specifies to build kernel library for visualization including the OpenGL driver with X11 extension. It requires $OGLHOME set (path to OpenGL installation).

9. If you want to interrupt the execution, "Kill_Geant4" button is used.

What is Gain?

Gain(Geant4 adaptive interface for network) is a networked GUI tool based on GAG. It inherits almost all features of GAG and has new features to make use of Geant4 running at (a) remote machine(s).

Gain runs on a client machine (Windows or Linux), while Geant4 runs on a remote or local server (Linux or Solaris).

It provides two ways to connect to the remote server; SSH mode and Gain socket mode. SSH mode is strongly recommended, since it is as safe as remote SSh connection and it requires G4UIGAG as the Geant4's interface.

Gain SSH mode

Gain has a SSH client fuction and use it to connect to a remote server. Geant4 compiled with G4UIGAG class can be connected to Gain client. When a SSH connection is established after the authentication, Gain displays the remote file browser with which user can choose a Geant4 executable and make it run. Data are encrypted during their transfer and are decripted at both side. So, some CPU power is required for a client machine, if a large amount of data are transfered from the running Geant4 to Gain.
Output from the remote Geant4 are displayed on the Gain console. This console can be used as a normal SSH console and you can type in command directly.
Pluriel remote sessions can be accepted, each displayed in a separate tabbed pane. A console is attached to each pane/session.

Gain socket mode

Gain uses its own way of connecting to a remote server. Remote Geant4 must be compiled with G4UIGainServer class which is distributed in the standard Geant4 package. In this mode, user has to make a Geant4 executable run on the remote server, after having logged in to the remote machine. G4UIGainServer acts as a network server and tells the number of port available for the Gain client. Gain client, after specifying the server and port number, is allowed to connect to the Geant4. Geant4 output

How to use Gain

The figure shows a scene when Gain is running in Gain socket mode.

In this example, two tabbed panes are displayed to run remote Geant4s running on different servers.

1. Gain is started on the Cygwin console. Gain can be started with Java Web Start.
2. Top menu to connect to a server or close (kill) the running G4ant4 or finish Gain.
3. The window to choose SSh or Gain socket; now SSHINTERFACE is focused
4. After typing in the remote host name, SSH login window is shown.
5. When SSH login is accepted, Gain shows the remore File Chooser. Geant4 with G4UIGAG interface can be started from this chooser.
6. When Geant4 is started, Geant4 initialisation output are shown on the cygwin console.
7. After the initialisation phase, command tree window is available on Gain.
8. Then, the Gain console is shown below the command tree window. See the hardcopy of the whole Gain window. This console is the SSH console, so that you can type in Geant4 commands in stead of selecting them in the above command panel.
   You can shrink the console by single click on the triangle at the left border.
9. Two ways of ending Geant4 execution are provided. The command tree provides "exit" command which is just the "exit" of Geant4. On the top menu, "Close one" menu is to send CTRL + C to the running Geant4 process. It can be sent at any moment.

Notices on Gain console

• At present, Gain's console displays ecerything G4cout from Geant4 with G4UIGAG interface. So, strings employed for Gain protocols are displayed. Please ignore lines starting with @@.
• Gain console demands heavy Windows (X or Windows) power. So, with old graphic accelerators like S3 etc. which are yet common on Linux platforms, speed of console may be very slow. In such cases, shrinking the console pane is a good way to speed up the execution.
• We have tested Gain over the Internet for a session of more than 24 hours. On Windows XP, We observed some curious deformed tree icons during the session, but the functions were correct and they became normal after some elapsed time.
  Here is the copy of the long run.
• The console provides a session of G4UIterminal, and NOT G4UItcsh, at present.
• If you type "exit" on the console, the execution of Geant4 is stopped. The console is yet a usual ssh console, while the upper windows for the command tree is losing connection to Geant4. If you type in "exit" on the console, it end the ssh session and the whole Gain will be destroyed.
