---|
| 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 |
---|
[1337] | 38 | |
---|
| 39 | Physics lists can be local (eg. in this example) or from G4 kernel |
---|
| 40 | physics_lists subdirectory. |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | Local physics lists: |
---|
| 43 | - "local" standard EM physics with current 'best' options setting. |
---|
| 44 | these options are explicited in PhysListEmStandard |
---|
| 45 | |
---|
| 46 | From geant4/source/physics_lists/builders: |
---|
| 47 | - "emstandard_opt0" recommended standard EM physics for LHC |
---|
| 48 | - "emstandard_opt1" best CPU performance standard physics for LHC |
---|
| 49 | - "emstandard_opt2" |
---|
| 50 | - "emstandard_opt3" best current advanced EM options. |
---|
| 51 | analog to "local" above |
---|
| 52 | |
---|
| 53 | Physics lists and options can be (re)set with UI commands |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | Please, notice that options set through G4EmProcessOPtions are global, eg |
---|
| 56 | for all particle types. In G4 builders, it is shown how to set options per |
---|
| 57 | particle type. |
---|
[807] | 58 | |
---|
| 59 | 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR |
---|
| 60 | |
---|
| 61 | The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the |
---|
| 62 | cylinder perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle |
---|
| 63 | and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can |
---|
| 64 | changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see |
---|
| 65 | the macros provided with this example). |
---|
| 66 | |
---|
| 67 | A RUN is a set of events. |
---|
| 68 | |
---|
| 69 | 4- VISUALIZATION |
---|
| 70 | |
---|
| 71 | The Visualization Manager is set in the main(). |
---|
| 72 | The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands |
---|
| 73 | /vis/.. in the macro vis.mac. In interactive session: |
---|
| 74 | PreInit or Idle > /control/execute vis.mac |
---|
| 75 | |
---|
| 76 | The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the |
---|
| 77 | cylinder. |
---|
| 78 | |
---|
| 79 | The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run. |
---|
| 80 | Optionaly one can choose to draw all particles, only the charged one, |
---|
| 81 | or none. This command is defined in EventActionMessenger class. |
---|
| 82 | |
---|
| 83 | 5- PHYSICS DEMO |
---|
| 84 | |
---|
| 85 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available |
---|
| 86 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class. |
---|
| 87 | |
---|
| 88 | In addition a build-in interactive command (/process/inactivate proname) |
---|
| 89 | allows to activate/inactivate the processes one by one. |
---|
| 90 | |
---|
| 91 | The threshold for producing secondaries can be changed. |
---|
| 92 | eg: /testem/phys/setCuts 100 microm |
---|
| 93 | /run/initialize |
---|
| 94 | |
---|
| 95 | The shower profiles are histogramed, if histograming is activated. |
---|
| 96 | They can be also printed with the command /testem/run/verbose 1 |
---|
| 97 | |
---|
| 98 | 6- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 99 | |
---|
| 100 | - compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 101 | % cd TestEm2 |
---|
| 102 | % gmake |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | - execute TestEm2 in 'batch' mode from macro files |
---|
| 105 | % TestEm2 run01.mac |
---|
| 106 | |
---|
| 107 | - execute TestEm2 in 'interactive mode' with visualization |
---|
| 108 | % TestEm2 |
---|
| 109 | .... |
---|
| 110 | Idle> type your commands |
---|
| 111 | .... |
---|
| 112 | Idle> exit |
---|
| 113 | |
---|
| 114 | 7- HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 115 | |
---|
| 116 | TestEm2 produces several histograms: |
---|
| 117 | |
---|
| 118 | Content of these histo: |
---|
| 119 | |
---|
| 120 | 1 : energy deposit per event |
---|
| 121 | 2 : charged track length per event |
---|
| 122 | 3 : neutral track length per event |
---|
| 123 | |
---|
| 124 | 4 : longitudinal energy profile |
---|
[1337] | 125 | 5 : rms of longitudinal energy profile |
---|
| 126 | 6 : cumulated longitudinal energy profile |
---|
| 127 | 7 : rms of cumulated longitudinal energy profile |
---|
[807] | 128 | |
---|
[1337] | 129 | 8 : radial energy profile |
---|
| 130 | 9 : rms of radial energy profile |
---|
| 131 | 10 : cumulated radial energy profile |
---|
| 132 | 11 : rms of cumulated radial energy profile |
---|
[807] | 133 | |
---|
| 134 | Note that, by default, histograms are disabled. To activate them, uncomment |
---|
| 135 | the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile. To define the output file name with |
---|
| 136 | histograms and the type of these file the following UI commands can be used: |
---|
| 137 | |
---|
| 138 | "/testem/histo/setFileName name" |
---|
| 139 | "/testem/histo/setFileType type" |
---|
| 140 | |
---|
| 141 | The following types are available: "hbook", "root", "XML" |
---|
[1337] | 142 | By default the name is "testem2" and the type "root". |
---|
[807] | 143 | |
---|
| 144 | Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files: |
---|
| 145 | gmake histclean |
---|
| 146 | gmake |
---|
| 147 | |
---|
| 148 | 8- USING HISTOGRAMS |
---|
| 149 | |
---|
| 150 | To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be |
---|
[1337] | 151 | available. See InstallAida.txt |
---|
