---|
| 9 | -------- |
---|
| 10 | This example is intended to check implementation of the processes |
---|
| 11 | of muon interactions: ionization, direct (e+,e-) production, |
---|
| 12 | bremsstrahlung, mu-nuclear interaction. |
---|
| 13 | It allows to compute differential cross sections (as function of the |
---|
| 14 | energy tranfered to secondaries), total cross sections and to compare |
---|
| 15 | with analytic calculations. |
---|
| 16 | |
---|
| 17 | 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION |
---|
| 18 | |
---|
| 19 | It is a single box of homogeneous medium. |
---|
| 20 | Two parameters define the geometry : |
---|
| 21 | - the material of the box, |
---|
| 22 | - the (full) size of the box. |
---|
| 23 | |
---|
| 24 | The default geometry (1 m of Iron) is constructed in |
---|
| 25 | DetectorConstruction, but the above parameters can be changed |
---|
| 26 | interactively via the commands defined in DetectorMessenger. |
---|
| 27 | |
---|
| 28 | 2- PHYSICS LIST |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
| 30 | The physics list contains only electromagnetic processes for muon, |
---|
| 31 | adding G4MuNuclearInteraction and seting of upper energy range limit |
---|
| 32 | to 1000 PeV). |
---|
| 33 | |
---|
| 34 | Standard (default) and g4v52 (frozen at the release Geant4 v.5.2) |
---|
| 35 | physics can be choosen. |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
| 39 | The primary kinematic consists of a single particle starting at the edge |
---|
| 40 | of the box. The type of the particle and its energy are set in |
---|
| 41 | PrimaryGeneratorAction (mu+ 10 TeV), and can be changed via the G4 |
---|
| 42 | build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see the macros provided with |
---|
| 43 | this example). |
---|
| 44 | |
---|
| 45 | 4- PHYSICS |
---|
| 46 | |
---|
| 47 | The incident particle is a muon. During the tracking, secondary |
---|
| 48 | particles are killed. |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | The number of interactions are plotted as a function of the energy |
---|
| 51 | transfered to the secondaries. |
---|
| 52 | The total number of interactions is recorded, and the total crossSection |
---|
| 53 | computed from this. |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | At EndOfRun, the above results are compared with analytic calculations. |
---|
| 56 | The functions which compute the theoritical crossSections have been |
---|
| 57 | provided by the G4 MEPhI group, and grouped in MuCrossSection class. |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
| 59 | 5- HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | The test contains 4 built-in 1D histograms, which are managed by the |
---|
| 62 | HistoManager class and its Messenger. |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | 1 Monte-Carlo relative transferred energy distribution histo |
---|
| 65 | (log10(eps/Emu kin) for knock-on electrons (ionization) |
---|
| 66 | 2 -"- direct (e+,e-) pair production |
---|
| 67 | 3 -"- bremsstrahlung |
---|
| 68 | 4 -"- nuclear interaction |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
| 70 | The histos can be activated individually with the command : |
---|
| 71 | /testem/histo/setHisto id nbBins valMin valMax : min and max values of |
---|
| 72 | log10(eps/Emu kin). |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | At EndOfRun the corresponding histos for analytic calculations are |
---|
| 75 | automatically created anf filled (histo 6 to 9), and the comparison |
---|
| 76 | (G4 divided by theory) is done in histos 11 to 14. |
---|
| 77 | |
---|
| 78 | One can control the name and the type of the histograms file with |
---|
| 79 | the commands: |
---|
| 80 | /testem/histo/setFileName name (default testem17) |
---|
| 81 | /testem/histo/setFileType name (default hbook) |
---|
| 82 | |
---|
| 83 | Note that, by default, histograms are disabled. To activate them, |
---|
| 84 | uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile. |
---|
| 85 | |
---|
| 86 | 6- VISUALIZATION |
---|
| 87 | |
---|
| 88 | The Visualization Manager is set in the main(). |
---|
| 89 | The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands |
---|
| 90 | /vis/... in the macro vis.mac. To get visualisation: |
---|
| 91 | > /control/execute vis.mac |
---|
| 92 | |
---|
| 93 | The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the |
---|
| 94 | box. |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run. |
---|
| 97 | |
---|
| 98 | 7- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 99 | |
---|
| 100 | compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 101 | % cd geant4/examples/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm17 |
---|
| 102 | % gmake |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | execute TestEm17 in 'batch' mode from macro files : |
---|
| 105 | % TestEm17 allproc.mac |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | execute TestEm17 in 'interactive mode' with visualization : |
---|
| 108 | % TestEm17 |
---|
| 109 | Idle> control/execute vis.mac |
---|
| 110 | .... |
---|
| 111 | Idle> type your commands |
---|
| 112 | .... |
---|
| 113 | Idle> exit |
---|
| 114 | |
---|
| 115 | 8- USING HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | By default the histograms are not activated. To activate histograms |
---|
| 118 | the environment variable G4ANALYSIS_USE should be defined. For instance |
---|
| 119 | uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile. |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files: |
---|
| 122 | gmake histclean |
---|
| 123 | gmake |
---|
| 124 | |
---|
| 125 | To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be |
---|
| 126 | available (see http://aida.freehep.org). |
---|
| 127 | |
---|
| 128 | 8a - PI |
---|
| 129 | |
---|
| 130 | A package including AIDA and extended interfaces also using Python is PI, |
---|
| 131 | available from: http://cern.ch/pi |
---|
| 132 | |
---|
| 133 | Once installed PI or PI-Lite in a specified local area $MYPY, it is required |
---|
| 134 | to add the installation path to $PATH, i.e. for example, for release 1.2.1 of |
---|
| 135 | PI: |
---|
| 136 | setenv PATH ${PATH}:$MYPI/1.2.1/app/releases/PI/PI_1_2_1/rh73_gcc32/bin |
---|
| 137 | |
---|
| 138 | CERN users can use the PATH to the LCG area on AFS. |
---|
| 139 | Before running the example the command should be issued: |
---|
| 140 | eval `aida-config --runtime csh` |
---|
| 141 | |
---|
| 142 | 8b - OpenScientist |
---|
| 143 | |
---|
| 144 | OpenScientist is available at http://OpenScientist.lal.in2p3.fr. |
---|
| 145 | |
---|
| 146 | You have to "setup" the OpenScientist AIDA implementation before compiling |
---|
| 147 | (then with G4ANALYSIS_USE set) and running your Geant4 application. |
---|
| 148 | |
---|
| 149 | On UNIX you setup, with a csh flavoured shell : |
---|
| 150 | csh> source <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.csh |
---|
| 151 | or with a sh flavoured shell : |
---|
| 152 | sh> . <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.sh |
---|
| 153 | On Windows : |
---|
| 154 | DOS> call <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.bat |
---|
| 155 | |
---|
| 156 | You can use various file formats for writing (AIDA-XML, hbook, root). |
---|
| 157 | These formats are readable by the Lab onx interactive program |
---|
| 158 | or the OpenPAW application. See the web pages. |
---|
| 159 | |
---|
| 160 | |
---|
| 161 | With OpenPAW, on a run.hbook file, one can view the histograms |
---|
| 162 | with something like : |
---|
| 163 | OS> opaw |
---|
| 164 | opaw> h/file 1 run.hbook ( or opaw> h/file 1 run.aida or run.root) |
---|
| 165 | opaw> zone 2 2 |
---|
| 166 | opaw> h/plot 1 |
---|
| 167 | opaw> h/plot 2 |
---|
