[1342] | 11 | Example for investigation of ionisation in thin absorbers and gaseous |
---|
| 12 | detectors |

---|
| 14 | 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION |
---|
| 15 | |
---|
[1342] | 16 | The target is a cilinder made of a given material placed inside |
---|
| 17 | cilindrical container, which is placed inside the world volume. |
---|
[807] | 18 | |
---|
[1342] | 19 | Following parameters define the geometry: |
---|
| 20 | - the material of the target, |
---|
| 21 | - the thickness of the target, |
---|
| 22 | - the radius of the target, |
---|
| 23 | - the material of the container, |
---|
| 24 | - the thickness of the container, |
---|
| 25 | - the material of the world. |
---|
| 26 | |
---|
| 27 | The list of materials used in gaseous detectors are built inside |
---|
| 28 | the DetectorConstruction class, also NIST materials are availabe. |
---|
| 29 | The default geometry is provided but all parameters can be changed via |
---|
| 30 | UI commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class, for example, |
---|
[807] | 31 | |
---|
[1342] | 32 | /testem/setGasMat XeCH4C3H8 |
---|
| 33 | /testem/setWindowMat G4_MYLAR |
---|
| 34 | /testem/setWorldMat G4_AIR |
---|
| 35 | /testem/setGasThick 10 cm |
---|
| 36 | /testem/setGasRad 20 cm |
---|
| 37 | /testem/setWindowThick 50 um |
---|
| 38 | |
---|
[807] | 39 | |
---|
| 40 | 2- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the |
---|
| 43 | absorber perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle |
---|
[1342] | 44 | and its energy can be set via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun |
---|
[807] | 45 | A RUN is a set of events. |
---|
| 46 | |
---|
| 47 | 3- DETECTOR RESPONSE |
---|
| 48 | |
---|
[1342] | 49 | The TargetSD class sending information about each step inside the target |
---|
| 50 | to the HistoManager class scoring of energy deposition in the detector. |
---|
| 51 | Additionally at each step of a particle inside the target the number of |
---|
| 52 | ionisation clusters is sampled using G4ElectronIonPair helper class. The |
---|
| 53 | parameter of transformation of energy into ionisation clusters can be |
---|
| 54 | set via UI command: |
---|
[807] | 55 | |
---|
[1342] | 56 | /testem/setPairEnergy 19 eV |
---|
[807] | 57 | |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
[1342] | 59 | 4- PHYSICS |
---|
[807] | 60 | |
---|
| 61 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available |
---|
[1342] | 62 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class, which uses Geant4 |
---|
| 63 | EM physics constructors providing in the physics_list library. |
---|
[807] | 64 | |
---|
[1342] | 65 | The messenger classes introduce interactive commands. In particular, |
---|
| 66 | PAI ionisation model can be added using G4EmConfurator helper class, |
---|
| 67 | which is invokated by the UI command |
---|

[807] | 71 | 5- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 72 | |
---|
| 73 | - compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 74 | % cd TestEm8 |
---|
| 75 | % gmake |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
| 77 | - execute TestEm8 in 'batch' mode from macro files e.g. |
---|
[1342] | 78 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/TestEm8 TestEm8.in |
---|
[807] | 79 | |
---|
| 80 | - execute TestEm8 in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g. |
---|
| 81 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/TestEm8 |
---|
| 82 | .... |
