---|
| 9 | ------- |
---|
| 10 | |
---|
| 11 | Example enabling investigation of tracking in a magnetic field. |
---|
| 12 | Electromagnetic processes also included. |
---|
| 13 | |
---|
| 14 | |
---|
| 15 | 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION |
---|
| 16 | |
---|
| 17 | The "absorber" is a solid made of a given material. |
---|
| 18 | |
---|
| 19 | Three parameters define the absorber : |
---|
| 20 | - the material of the absorber, |
---|
| 21 | - the thickness of an absorber, |
---|
| 22 | - the transverse size of the absorber (the input face is a square). |
---|
| 23 | |
---|
| 24 | The volume "World" contains the "absorber". |
---|
| 25 | In this test the parameters of the "World" can be changed , too. |
---|
| 26 | |
---|
| 27 | In addition a transverse uniform magnetic field can be applied. |
---|
| 28 | |
---|
| 29 | The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class, |
---|
| 30 | but all the parameters can be changed via |
---|
| 31 | the commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class. |
---|
| 32 | |
---|
| 33 | 2- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
| 35 | The primary kinematic consists of a single particle (proton, Ekin = 1 GeV) |
---|
| 36 | which hits the |
---|
| 37 | absorber perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle |
---|
| 38 | and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can |
---|
| 39 | be changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see |
---|
| 40 | the macros provided with this example). |
---|
| 41 | |
---|
| 42 | A RUN is a set of events. |
---|
| 43 | |
---|
| 44 | 3- DETECTOR RESPONSE |
---|
| 45 | |
---|
| 46 | The spatial distribution of charged particles transported in magnetic |
---|
| 47 | field is envistigated. |
---|
| 48 | A HIT is a record, event per event , of all the |
---|
| 49 | informations needed to simulate and analyse the detector response. |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
| 51 | In this example a CalorHit is defined as a set of 2 informations: |
---|
| 52 | - the total energy deposit in the absorber, |
---|
| 53 | - the total tracklength of all charged particles in the absorber, |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | Therefore the absorber is declared |
---|
| 56 | 'sensitive detector' (SD), which means they can contribute to the hit. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | 4- PHYSICS DEMO |
---|
| 59 | |
---|
| 60 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available |
---|
| 61 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class. |
---|
| 62 | |
---|
| 63 | The messenger classes introduce interactive commands . Using these |
---|
| 64 | commands the geometry of the detector, the data of the primary |
---|
| 65 | particle, etc. can be changed. |
---|
| 66 | |
---|

---|
| 68 | 5- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
| 70 | - compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 71 | % cd $G4INSTALL/example/extended/field/field01 |
---|
| 72 | % gmake |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | - execute field01 in 'batch' mode from macro file e.g. |
---|
| 75 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field01 field01.in |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
| 77 | - execute field01 in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g. |
---|
| 78 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field01 |
---|
| 79 | .... |
---|
| 80 | Idle> type your commands |
---|
