Four parameters define the geometry : - the material of the box - the thickness of the box - the tranverse dimension of the box - the maximal step size in target The default is 10 cm of alumunium, step is limited by 5mm. Equivalent UI commands are following: /testex/det/setMat G4_Al /testex/det/sizeX 10 cm /testex/det/sizeYZ 5 cm /testex/det/setStepSize 5 mm The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class, but all of the above parameters can be changed interactively via the commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class. After changing material and/or dimentions one must update the detector construction: /testex/det/update 2- PHYSICS LIST Physics Lists include standard QGSP physics and additional builder for monopole physics. To define monopole parameters an extra string should be provided a) interactive mode by UI command: /monopole/setup 2 0 200 GeV (magnetic number, electric number, mass) b) batch mode: monopole file.mac '2 0 200 GeV' 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the block perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class (see the macros provided with this example). The default is monopole 100 GeV In addition one can define randomly the impact point of the incident particle. The corresponding interactive command is built in PrimaryGeneratorMessenger class. A RUN is a set of events. 4- VISUALIZATION The Visualization Manager is set in the main() for interactive session. The initialisation of the drawing is done via the command /control/execute vis.mac The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the box. The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run. 5- HOW TO START ? - execute Test in 'batch' mode from macro files % monopole monopole.in - execute Test in 'interactive mode' with visualization % monopole .... Idle> type your commands .... Idle> exit 6- HISTOGRAMS The result is five histograms: - Monopole eneregy deposition in current material - dedx for proton - dedx for monopole - range for proton in current material - range for monopole in current material The histogram is saved in Root file. Limit of bin size can be set with testex/run/binSize (default 5mm). Real size is chosen as a minimal between this and step limit (see Geometry section)
