---->0. INTRODUCTION.
|
||||
|
||||
The microdosimetry example simulates the track of a 10 keV Helium+ (positive
|
||||
charge is +e) particle in liquid water using only G4DNA processes.
|
||||
|
||||
---->1. GEOMETRY SET-UP.
|
||||
|
||||
The geometry is a 1 mm side cube of liquid water.
|
||||
|
||||
---->2. SET-UP
|
||||
|
||||
- a standard Geant4 example GNUmakefile is provided
|
||||
|
||||
setup with:
|
||||
compiler = gcc-3.4.6
|
||||
G4SYSTEM = linux-g++
|
||||
|
||||
The following section gives the necessary environment variables.
|
||||
|
||||
------->>2.1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
||||
|
||||
All variables are defined with their default value.
|
||||
|
||||
- G4SYSTEM = Linux-g++
|
||||
|
||||
- G4INSTALL points to the installation directory of GEANT4;
|
||||
|
||||
- G4LIB point to the compiled libraries of GEANT4;
|
||||
|
||||
- G4WORKDIR points to the work directory;
|
||||
|
||||
- CLHEP_BASE_DIR points to the installation directory of CHLEP;
|
||||
|
||||
- G4LEDATA points to the low energy electromagnetic libraries;
|
||||
|
||||
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH = $CLHEP_BASE_DIR/lib
|
||||
|
||||
- G4LEVELGAMMADATA points to the photoevaporation library;
|
||||
|
||||
- NeutronHPCrossSections points to the neutron data files;
|
||||
|
||||
- G4RADIOACTIVEDATA points to the libraries for radio-active decay
|
||||
hadronic processes;
|
||||
|
||||
However, the $G4LEVELGAMMADATA, $NeutronHPCrossSections and $G4RADIOACTIVEDATA
|
||||
variables do not need to be defined for this example.
|
||||
|
||||
Once these variables have been set, simply type gmake to compile the
|
||||
Microdosimetry example.
|
||||
|
||||
------->>2.2 VISUALIZATION
|
||||
|
||||
Visualization is not activated by default.
|
||||
|
||||
---->3. HOW TO RUN THE EXAMPLE
|
||||
|
||||
In interactive mode, run:
|
||||
|
||||
> $G4WORDIR/bin/$G4SYSTEM/Microdosimetry
|
||||
|
||||
The macro microdosimetry.mac is executed by default.
|
||||
|
||||
To get visualization, make sure to uncomment the /vis/... lines in the macro.
|
||||
|
||||
---->4. PHYSICS
|
||||
|
||||
This example shows how to use the Geant4 DNA processes AND how to affect them a
|
||||
name.
|
||||
|
||||
Look at the PhyscisList.cc file.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the G4CrossSectionElasticScreenedRutherford.cc is put in the src
|
||||
directory with an increased (10 eV instead of 7 eV) lower limit of the model energy range to
|
||||
avoid an energy region where electrons do not lose any energy and may undergo
|
||||
elastic scattering without limit.
|
||||
|
||||
Same remark for the G4CrossSectionExcitationEmfietzoglou.cc file whre the lower
|
||||
limit has been set to 10 eV instead of 7.4 eV.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
---->5. SIMULATION OUTPUT AND RESULT ANALYZIS
|
||||
|
||||
This example does not need any external analysis package.
|
||||
The output results consists in a track.txt file, containing at each line :
|
||||
- the type of particle for the current step
|
||||
- the type of process for the current step
|
||||
- the track position of the current step (in nanometers)
|
||||
|
||||
This file can be easily analyzed using for example the provided ROOT macro
|
||||
file plot.C; to do so :
|
||||
* be sure to have ROOT installed on your machine
|
||||
* be sure to be in the microdosimetry directory
|
||||
* launch ROOT by typing root
|
||||
* under your ROOT session, type in : .X plot.C to execute the macro file
|
||||
|
||||
The naming scheme on the displayed ROOT plots is as follows (see SteppingAction.cc):
|
||||
|
||||
-particles:
|
||||
e- : 1
|
||||
proton : 2
|
||||
hydrogen : 3
|
||||
alpha : 4
|
||||
alpha+ : 5
|
||||
helium : 6
|
||||
|
||||
-processes:
|
||||
ElasticBrennerZaider : 11
|
||||
ElasticScreenedRutherford : 12
|
||||
ExcitationBorn : 13
|
||||
ExcitationEmfietzoglou : 14
|
||||
ExcitationMillerGreen : 15
|
||||
IonisationBorn : 16
|
||||

|
||||
ChargeDecrease : 18
|
||||
ChargeIncrease : 19
