9 ----------
10
11This example presently illustrates the following basic concepts, and in
12particular (indicated with ***), how to use G4 for optical photon
13generation and transport. An extended example of what is possible
14in Geant4 with optical photons can be found at
15examples/extended/optical/LXe.
16
17main()
18------
19
20 ==> define Random Number Engine and initial seed
21
22G4VUserPhysicsList
23------------------
24
25 ==> define particles; including *** G4OpticalPhoton ***
26 define processes; including *** G4Cerenkov ***
27 *** G4Scintillation ***
28 *** G4OpAbsorption ***
29 *** G4OpRayleigh ***
30 *** G4OpBoundaryProcess ***
31
32G4VUserDetectorConstruction
33---------------------------
34
35 ==> define material: Air and Water
36 define simple G4box geometry
37 *** add G4MaterialPropertiesTable to G4Material ***
38 *** define G4LogicalSurface(s) ***
39 *** define G4OpticalSurface ***
40 *** add G4MaterialPropertiesTable to G4OpticalSurface ***
41
42G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction
43-----------------------------
44
45 ==> Use G4ParticleGun to shoot a charge particle into a Cerenkov radiator
46
47 ==> A messenger command allows to define interactivly the polarization of an
48 primary optical photon (see for instance optPhoton.mac)
49
50G4UserRunAction
51---------------
52
53==> define G4Timer (start/stop)
54 set verbose levels
55
56G4UserStackingAction
57--------------------
58
59==> show how to count the number of secondary particles in an event
60
61Visualisation
62-------------
63
64 The Visualization Manager is set in the main().
65 The initialisation of the drawing is done via a set of /vis/ commands
66 in the macro vis.mac. This macro is automatically read from
67 the main in case of interactive running mode.
68
69 The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the tank.
70 The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run.
71
72 How to start
73 ------------
74
75 - compile and link to generate an executable
76 % cd N06
77 % gmake
78
79 - execute N06 in 'batch' mode from macro files
80 % exampleN06 exampleN06.in
81
82 - execute N06 in 'interactive mode' with visualization
83 % exampleN06
84 ....
85 Idle> type your commands. For instance:
86 Idle> /control/execute optPhoton.mac
87 ....
88 Idle> exit
