---|
| 9 | ------------------------- |
---|
| 10 | |
---|
| 11 | Test for investigation of tracking in electric field |
---|
| 12 | and field dependent electromagnetic processes. |
---|
| 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 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 | A HIT is a record, event per event , of all the |
---|
| 46 | informations needed to simulate and analyse the detector response. |
---|
| 47 | |
---|
| 48 | Therefore the absorber is declared |
---|
| 49 | 'sensitive detector' (SD), which means they can contribute to the hit. |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
| 51 | At the end of a run, from the histogram(s), one can study |
---|
| 52 | different physics quantities such as : |
---|
| 53 | - angle distribution, |
---|
| 54 | - energy deposit, |
---|
| 55 | - transmission/backscattering, |
---|
| 56 | - ... |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
| 58 | The test contains 10 built-in histograms, which can be activated by |
---|
| 59 | interactive commands (see the macros runxx.mac for details). |
---|
| 60 | The histograms/plots are in printed form in the corresponding |
---|
| 61 | resultxx (for GEANT4) and outxx (for GEANT3) files, and they are |
---|
| 62 | saved as geant4.plotxx and geant3.plotxx histogram files, too. |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | The histogram files can be viewed using PAW e.g with the commands |
---|
| 65 | |
---|
| 66 | paw> h/file 1 geant4.plot01 or g4.p11 |
---|
| 67 | paw> option stat |
---|
| 68 | paw> h/pl 1 |
---|
| 69 | |
---|
| 70 | |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | 4- PHYSICS DEMO |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available |
---|
| 75 | in this example are set in PhysicsList class. |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
| 77 | The messenger classes introduce interactive commands . Using these |
---|
| 78 | commands the geometry of the detector, the data of the primary |
---|
| 79 | particle, the limits of the histograms , etc. can be changed. |
---|
| 80 | |
---|
| 81 | |
---|
| 82 | 5- HOW TO START ? |
---|
| 83 | |
---|
| 84 | - compile and link to generate an executable |
---|
| 85 | % cd $G4INSTALL/example/extended/field/field01 |
---|
| 86 | % gmake |
---|
| 87 | |
---|
| 88 | - execute field01 in 'batch' mode from macro files e.g. |
---|
| 89 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field01 run11.mac |
---|
| 90 | |
---|
| 91 | - execute field01 in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g. |
---|
| 92 | % $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/field01 |
---|
| 93 | .... |
---|
| 94 | Idle> type your commands |
---|
| 95 | .... |
---|
| 96 | |
---|
| 97 | 6- GEANT4/GEANT3/exp.data comparison |
---|
| 98 | |
---|
| 99 | A GEANT4/GEANT3/exp. data comparison is given here for a few cases. |
---|
| 100 | |
---|
| 101 | The GEANT4 results can be found in the results/ directory, the resultxx |
---|
| 102 | output was obtained with the runxx.mac macro. |
---|
| 103 | |
---|
| 104 | The relevant part of the GEANT3 code is in the geant3/ directory |
---|
| 105 | together with the runxx.dat input files. The outputs of the GEANT3 runs |
---|
| 106 | geant3/results subdirectory. |
---|
| 107 | |
---|
| 108 | In order to make an executable of GEANT3 the gmakeB command should be |
---|
| 109 | used in the geant3/ subdirectory.To run this executable with a given |
---|
| 110 | input file the input file name should be given when it is being asked |
---|
| 111 | by the program.(see geant3/README) |
---|
| 112 | |
---|
| 113 | The expdata/ directory contains some information |
---|
| 114 | on the experimental data. |
---|
| 115 | |
---|
