WLS
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
This application simulates the propagation of photons inside a Wave Length
|
||||
Shifting (WLS) fiber.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
1- Geometry Definition
|
||||
|
||||
The default geometry is as follow:
|
||||
|
||||
- A perfect, bare, 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2- 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, n = 1.60
|
||||
- Pethylene, n = 1.49
|
||||
- FPethylene, n = 1.42
|
||||
- Polystyrene, n = 1.60
|
||||
- Silicone, n = 1.46
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
3- Photon Source
|
||||
|
||||
This program uses the General Particle Source provided by GEANT4 for
|
||||
generating photons. The energy of the photon must be within 2.00 eV
|
||||
to 3.47 eV. For detail instruction on how to use the General Particle
|
||||
Source, please visit their home page at:

|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4- Hit
|
||||
|
||||
A hit is registered when the photon is absorbed on the MPPC surface.
|
||||
Information stored in hit includes the local coordinate of the location
|
||||
the photon is absorbed on the MPPC, the global coordinate where the
|
||||
photon left the fiber and the transit time of the photon.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5- Stepping Action
|
||||
|
||||
The stepping action keeps track of the number of bounces a 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 a 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 photons artificially killed will have murderee flag turned
|
||||
on in their UserTrackInformation.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6- Visualization
|
||||
|
||||
To visualize a photon's trajectory, simply use vis.mac macro in
|
||||
interactive mode or in your own macro.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
7- main()
|
||||
|
||||
- compile and link to generate an executable
|
||||
% cd wls
|
||||
% make
|
||||
|
||||
- execute wls in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
||||
- you can enter an optional integer seed for batch mode
|
||||
% wls wls.in (optional: enter an integer seed here)
|
||||
|
||||
- wls in 'interactive mode' with visualization
|
||||
% wls
|
||||
....
|
||||
Idle> /control/execute vis.mac
|
||||
Idle> /run/beamOn 1
|
||||
....
|
||||
Idle> exit
