This application simulates the propagation of optical photons inside a
|
||||
Wave Length Shifting (WLS) fiber.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s1 Geometry Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The default geometry is as follow:
|
||||
|
||||
- A perfect, bare (or clad), PMMA fiber: 0.5mm radius, 2m length at
|
||||
center (0,0,0) of the World.
|
||||
- A circular MPPC with 0.5mm radius at the +z end of the fiber
|
||||
- World and coupling materials are G4_AIR
|
||||
- Photons will always refracted out to coupling material before
|
||||
reaching MPPC
|
||||
- There are many flexible parameters that the user could specify.
|
||||
They are under the /WLS directory of help.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s2 Material Choices
|
||||
|
||||
There are several materials that the user can use for the fiber core,
|
||||
world and coupling.
|
||||
|
||||
They are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Vacuum (G4_Galactic)
|
||||
- Air (G4_AIR)
|
||||
- PMMA, refractive index n = 1.60
|
||||
- Pethylene, n = 1.49
|
||||
- FPethylene, n = 1.42
|
||||
- Polystyrene, n = 1.60
|
||||
- Silicone, n = 1.46
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s3 Photon Source
|
||||
|
||||
This program uses the General Particle Source (G4GeneralParticleSource)
|
||||
provided by Geant4 for generating particles. The energy of a primary
|
||||
optical photon must be within the range 2.00 eV to 3.47 eV.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s4 Hit
|
||||
|
||||
A hit is registered when an optical photon is absorbed on the MPPC
|
||||
surface. Information stored in a hit includes the local coordinate of the
|
||||
location the optical photon is absorbed on the MPPC, the global coordinate
|
||||
where the optical photon left the fiber, the transit time of the optical
|
||||
photon, and the energy of the optical photon.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s5 Stepping Action
|
||||
|
||||
The stepping action keeps track of the number of bounces an optical photon has
|
||||
gone through. In order to prevent infinite loop and extremely skewed
|
||||
rays taking up computing time, there is a limit of the number of
|
||||
bounces that an optical photon can go through before it is artificially killed.
|
||||
The default limit is 100,000. The user can set his/her own limit using
|
||||
the /stepping/setBounceLimit command. A value of 0 will turn off the
|
||||
limit. All optical photons artificially killed will have murderee flag turned
|
||||
on in their UserTrackInformation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s6 Visualization
|
||||
|
||||
To visualize particle trajectories, simply use vis.mac macro in
|
||||
interactive mode or in your own macro.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\section Examplewls_s7 main ()
|
||||
|
||||
- Execute wls in 'batch' mode from macro files; \n
|
||||
you can enter an optional integer seed for batch mode
|
||||
\verbatim
|
||||
% wls electron.mac (optional: enter an integer seed here)
