|
|---|
| 9 | -------
|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | Plot energy deposited by 9 MeV photon beam in an homogeneous medium.
|
|---|
| 12 |
|
|---|
| 13 | 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | It is a cylinder of 5 cm radius filled with C6F6.
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | 2- PHYSICS LIST
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | The particle list contains only gamma, electron,positron.
|
|---|
| 20 | The physics list contains the 'standard' electromagnetic processes.
|
|---|
| 21 |
|
|---|
| 22 | 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | The primary kinematic is a single 9 MeV gamma randomly shooted at the
|
|---|
| 25 | middle of the cylinder.
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | 4- VISUALIZATION
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | The Visualization Manager is set in the main().
|
|---|
| 30 | The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands
|
|---|
| 31 | /vis/.. in the macro vis.mac. This macro is
|
|---|
| 32 | automatically read from the main in case of interactive running mode.
|
|---|
| 33 |
|
|---|
| 34 | The detector has a default view which is a transversal view of the
|
|---|
| 35 | cylinder.
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run.
|
|---|
| 38 | Optionaly one can choose to draw all particles, only the charged one,
|
|---|
| 39 | or none. This command is defined in EventActionMessenger class.
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | 5- PHYSICS SURVEY
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | The energy deposited in C6F6 is histogramed.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | 6- HOW TO START ?
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | - compile and link to generate an executable
|
|---|
| 48 | % cd examples/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm4
|
|---|
| 49 | % gmake
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | - execute TestEm4 in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|---|
| 52 | % TestEm4 TestEm4.in
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | - execute TestEm4 in 'interactive mode' with visualization
|
|---|
| 55 | % TestEm4
|
|---|
| 56 | ....
|
|---|
| 57 | Idle> type your commands
|
|---|
| 58 | ....
|
|---|
| 59 | Idle> exit
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | - visualize the histogram (paw)
|
|---|
| 62 | paw> h/file 1 testem4.hbook
|
|---|
| 63 | paw> option stat
|
|---|
| 64 | paw> option logy
|
|---|
| 65 | paw> h/pl 1
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | 7- USING HISTOGRAMS
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | By default the histograms are not activated. To activate histograms
|
|---|
| 71 | the environment variable G4ANALYSIS_USE should be defined. For instance
|
|---|
| 72 | uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile.
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files:
|
|---|
| 75 | gmake histclean
|
|---|
| 76 | gmake
|
|---|
| 77 |
|
|---|
| 78 | It is possible to choose the format of the histogram file (hbook, root, XML):
|
|---|
| 79 | comment/uncomment 1 line in the constructor of RunAction.
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be
|
|---|
| 82 | available (see http://aida.freehep.org).
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | 7a - PI
|
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 | A package including AIDA and extended interfaces also using Python is PI,
|
|---|
| 87 | available from: http://cern.ch/pi
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | Once installed PI or PI-Lite in a specified local area $MYPY, it is required
|
|---|
| 90 | to add the installation path to $PATH, i.e. for example, for release 1.2.1 of
|
|---|
| 91 | PI:
|
|---|
| 92 | setenv PATH ${PATH}:$MYPI/1.2.1/app/releases/PI/PI_1_2_1/rh73_gcc32/bin
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | CERN users can use the PATH to the LCG area on AFS.
|
|---|
| 95 | Before running the example the command should be issued:
|
|---|
| 96 | eval `aida-config --runtime csh`
|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | 7b - OpenScientist
|
|---|
| 99 |
|
|---|
| 100 | OpenScientist is available at http://OpenScientist.lal.in2p3.fr.
|
|---|
| 101 |
|
|---|
| 102 | You have to "setup" the OpenScientist AIDA implementation before compiling
|
|---|
| 103 | (then with G4ANALYSIS_USE set) and running your Geant4 application.
|
|---|
| 104 |
|
|---|
| 105 | On UNIX you setup, with a csh flavoured shell :
|
|---|
| 106 | csh> source <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.csh
|
|---|
| 107 | or with a sh flavoured shell :
|
|---|
| 108 | sh> . <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.sh
|
|---|
| 109 | On Windows :
|
|---|
| 110 | DOS> call <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.bat
|
|---|
| 111 |
|
|---|
| 112 | You can use various file formats for writing (AIDA-XML, hbook, root).
|
|---|
| 113 | These formats are readable by the Lab onx interactive program
|
|---|
| 114 | or the OpenPAW application. See the web pages.
|
|---|
| 115 |
|
|---|
| 116 |
|
|---|
| 117 | With OpenPAW, on a run.hbook file, one can view the histograms
|
|---|
| 118 | with something like :
|
|---|
| 119 | OS> opaw
|
|---|
| 120 | opaw> h/file 1 run.hbook ( or opaw> h/file 1 run.aida or run.root)
|
|---|
| 121 | opaw> zone 2 2
|
|---|
| 122 | opaw> h/plot 1
|
|---|
| 123 | opaw> h/plot 2
|
|---|
