|
|---|
| 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 root)
|
|---|
| 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 InstallAida.txt
|
|---|
| 127 |
