---|
| 11 | How to do shower profiles in an homogenous medium, with virtual |
---|
| 12 | voxelisation. |
---|
| 13 | |
---|
| 14 | 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION |
---|
| 15 | |
---|
| 16 | The geometry consists of a cylinder of homegenous material. |
---|
| 17 | |
---|
| 18 | The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class, |
---|
| 19 | but all of the above parameters can be modified interactively via |
---|
| 20 | the commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class. |
---|
| 21 | |
---|
| 22 | Material can be choosen: Air Water lAr Al Fe BGO PbWO4 Pb. |
---|
| 23 | eg: /testem/det/setMat PbWO4 |
---|
| 24 | |
---|
| 25 | The cylinder is virtually sliced longitudinaly (slice) and radialy (ring). |
---|
| 26 | The size of the slices and rings are expressed in radiation length units |
---|
| 27 | and can be changed. |
---|
| 28 | eg: /testem/det/setLbin 20 1. ---> 20 slices of 1. radl |
---|
| 29 | /testem/det/setRbin 5 0.25 ---> 5 rings of 0.25 radl |
---|
| 30 | /testem/det/update ---> rebuild the geometry |
---|
| 31 | |
---|
| 32 | (MaxBin = 500 in both directions) |
---|
| 33 | |
---|
| 34 | An uniform magnetic field along the cylinder axis can be set. |
---|
| 35 | eg: /testem/det/setField 5 tesla |
---|
| 36 | |
---|
| 37 | 2- PHYSICS LISTS |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
| 39 | Modular PhysicsList are used. The following modules can be activated: |
---|
| 40 | 1. "standard" - (alternative) standard EM physics |
---|
| 41 | 2. "g4v52" - (alternative) standard EM physics version G4 5.2 |
---|
| 42 | 3. "high_energy" - add high energy processes |
---|
| 43 | |
---|
| 44 | To activate a specific module the UI command can be used: |
---|
| 45 | "/testem/phys/addPhysics title" |
---|
| 46 | By default "standard" module is loaded. |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
| 48 | 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR |
---|
| 49 | |
---|
| 50 | The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the |
---|
| 51 | cylinder perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle |
---|
| 52 | and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can |
---|
| 53 | changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see |
---|
| 54 | the macros provided with this example). |
---|
| 55 | |
---|
| 56 | A RUN is a set of events. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | 4- VISUALIZATION |
---|
| 59 | |
---|
| 60 | The Visualization Manager is set in the main(). |
---|
| 61 | The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands |
---|
| 62 | /vis/.. in the macro vis.mac. In interactive session: |
---|
| 63 | PreInit or Idle > /control/execute vis.mac |
---|
| 64 | |
---|
| 65 | The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the |
---|
| 66 | cylinder. |
---|
| 67 | |
---|
| 68 | The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run. |
---|
| 69 | Optionaly one can choose to draw all particles, only the charged one, |
---|
| 70 | or none. This command is defined in EventActionMessenger class. |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | 5- PHYSICS DEMO |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available |
---|
| 75 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class. |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
| 77 | In addition a build-in interactive command (/process/inactivate proname) |
---|
| 78 | allows to activate/inactivate the processes one by one. |
---|
| 79 | |
---|
| 80 | The threshold for producing secondaries can be changed. |
---|
| 81 | eg: /testem/phys/setCuts 100 microm |
---|
| 82 | /run/initialize |
---|
| 83 | |
---|
| 84 | The shower profiles are histogramed, if histograming is activated. |
---|
| 85 | They can be also printed with the command /testem/run/verbose 1 |
---|
| 86 | |
---|
| 87 | 6- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 88 | |
---|
| 89 | - compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 90 | % cd TestEm2 |
---|
| 91 | % gmake |
---|
| 92 | |
---|
| 93 | - execute TestEm2 in 'batch' mode from macro files |
---|
| 94 | % TestEm2 run01.mac |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | - execute TestEm2 in 'interactive mode' with visualization |
---|
| 97 | % TestEm2 |
---|
| 98 | .... |
---|
| 99 | Idle> type your commands |
---|
| 100 | .... |
---|
| 101 | Idle> exit |
---|
| 102 | |
---|
| 103 | 7- HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 104 | |
---|
| 105 | TestEm2 produces several histograms: |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | Content of these histo: |
---|
| 108 | |
---|
| 109 | 1 : energy deposit per event |
---|
| 110 | 2 : charged track length per event |
---|
| 111 | 3 : neutral track length per event |
---|
| 112 | |
---|
| 113 | 4 : longitudinal energy profile |
---|
| 114 | 5 : cumulated longitudinal energy profile |
---|
| 115 | 6 : rms of cumulated longitudinal energy profile |
---|
| 116 | |
---|
| 117 | 7 : radial energy profile |
---|
| 118 | 8 : cumulated radial energy profile |
---|
| 119 | 9 : rms of cumulated radial energy profile |
---|
| 120 | |
---|
| 121 | Note that, by default, histograms are disabled. To activate them, uncomment |
---|
| 122 | the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile. To define the output file name with |
---|
| 123 | histograms and the type of these file the following UI commands can be used: |
---|
| 124 | |
---|
| 125 | "/testem/histo/setFileName name" |
---|
| 126 | "/testem/histo/setFileType type" |
---|
| 127 | |
---|
| 128 | The following types are available: "hbook", "root", "XML" |
---|
| 129 | By default the name is "testem2" and the type "hbook". |
---|
| 130 | |
---|
| 131 | Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files: |
---|
| 132 | gmake histclean |
---|
| 133 | gmake |
---|
| 134 | |
---|
| 135 | 8- USING HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 136 | |
---|
| 137 | To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be |
---|
| 138 | available (see http://aida.freehep.org). |
---|
| 139 | |
---|
| 140 | 8a - PI |
---|
| 141 | |
---|
| 142 | A package including AIDA and extended interfaces also using Python is PI, |
---|
| 143 | available from: http://cern.ch/pi |
---|
| 144 | |
---|
| 145 | Once installed PI or PI-Lite in a specified local area $MYPY, it is required |
---|
| 146 | to add the installation path to $PATH, i.e. for example, for release 1.2.1 of |
---|
| 147 | PI: |
---|
| 148 | setenv PATH ${PATH}:$MYPI/1.2.1/app/releases/PI/PI_1_2_1/rh73_gcc32/bin |
---|
| 149 | |
---|
| 150 | CERN users can use the PATH to the LCG area on AFS. |
---|
| 151 | Before running the example the command should be issued: |
---|
| 152 | eval `aida-config --runtime csh` |
---|
| 153 | |
---|
| 154 | 8b - OpenScientist |
---|
| 155 | |
---|
| 156 | OpenScientist is available at http://OpenScientist.lal.in2p3.fr. |
---|
| 157 | |
---|
| 158 | You have to "setup" the OpenScientist AIDA implementation before compiling |
---|
| 159 | (then with G4ANALYSIS_USE set) and running your Geant4 application. |
---|
| 160 | |
---|
| 161 | On UNIX you setup, with a csh flavoured shell : |
---|
| 162 | csh> source <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.csh |
---|
| 163 | or with a sh flavoured shell : |
---|
| 164 | sh> . <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.sh |
---|
| 165 | On Windows : |
---|
| 166 | DOS> call <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.bat |
---|
| 167 | |
---|
| 168 | You can use various file formats for writing (AIDA-XML, hbook, root). |
---|
| 169 | These formats are readable by the Lab onx interactive program |
---|
| 170 | or the OpenPAW application. See the web pages. |
---|
| 171 | |
---|
| 172 | |
---|
| 173 | With OpenPAW, on a run.hbook file, one can view the histograms |
---|
| 174 | with something like : |
---|
| 175 | OS> opaw |
---|
| 176 | opaw> h/file 1 run.hbook ( or opaw> h/file 1 run.aida or run.root) |
---|
| 177 | opaw> zone 2 2 |
---|
| 178 | opaw> h/plot 1 |
---|
| 179 | opaw> h/plot 2 |
---|
