|
|---|
| 11 | Example of tracking in magnetic field where field associated
|
|---|
| 12 | to selected logical volumes varies.

|

| 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 which hits the
|
|---|
| 36 | absorber perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle
|
|---|
| 37 | and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can
|
|---|
| 38 | be changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see
|
|---|
| 39 | the macros provided with this example).
|
|---|
| 40 |
|
|---|
| 41 | A RUN is a set of events.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | 3- DETECTOR RESPONSE
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | A HIT is a record, event per event , of all the
|
|---|
| 47 | informations needed to simulate and analyse the detector response.
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | In this example a CalorHit is defined as a set of 2 informations:
|
|---|
| 50 | - the total energy deposit in the absorber,
|
|---|
| 51 | - the total tracklength of all charged particles in the absorber,
|
|---|
| 52 |
|
|---|
| 53 | Therefore the absorber is declared
|
|---|
| 54 | 'sensitive detector' (SD), which means they can contribute to the hit.
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | 4- PHYSICS DEMO
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available
|
|---|
| 60 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | The messenger classes introduce interactive commands . Using these
|
|---|
| 63 | commands the geometry of the detector, the data of the primary
|
|---|
| 64 | particle, etc. can be changed.
|
|---|
| 65 |
|
|---|
| 66 |
|
|---|
| 67 | 5- HOW TO START ?
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | - compile and link to generate an executable
|
|---|
| 70 | % cd $G4INSTALL/example/extended/field/field03
|
|---|
| 71 | % gmake
|
|---|
| 72 |
|
|---|
| 73 | - execute field03 in 'batch' mode from macro files e.g.
|
|---|
| 74 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field03 field03.in
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 | - execute field03 in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g.
|
|---|
| 77 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field03
|
|---|
| 78 | ....
|
|---|
| 79 | Idle> type your commands
|
|---|
| 80 | ....
|
