 This example simulates schematically a Positron Emitted Tomography system.
	
\section B3_s1 GEOMETRY DEFINITION

   The support of gamma detection are scintillating crystals. A small number
   of such crystals are optically grouped in a matrix of crystals. In
   this example, individual crystals are not described; only the matrix of
   crystals is and it is still called 'Crystal' hereafter.

   Crystals are circularly arranged to form a ring. Few rings make up the full
   detector (gamma camera). This is done by positionning Crystals in 
   Ring with an appropriate rotation matrix. Several copies of Ring are 
   then placed in the full detector.  

   The head of a patient is schematised as a homogeneous cylinder of brain
   tissue, placed at the center of full detector.
	
   The Crystal material, Lu2SiO5, is not included in the G4Nist database. 
   Therefore, it is explicitly built in DefineMaterials().
 	 	
\section B3_s2 PHYSICS LIST

   The physics list contains standard electromagnetic processes and the
   radioactiveDecay module for GenericIon. It is defined in the B3PhysicsList 
   class as a Geant4 modular physics list with registered physics builders 
   provided in Geant4:
   - G4DecayPhysics - defines all particles and their decay processes
   - G4RadioactiveDecayPhysics - defines radioactiveDecay for GenericIon
   - G4EmStandardPhysics - defines all EM standard processes
   
   This physics list requires data files for:
   - low energy electromagnetic processes which path is defined via 
     the G4LEDATA envirnoment variable
   - radioactive decay hadronic processes which path is defined via 
     the G4RADIOACTIVEDATA envirnoment variable.
 	 
\section B3_s3 PRIMARY GENERATOR

   The default particle beam is an ion (F18), at rest, randomly distributed 
   within a zone inside a patient and is defined in 
   B3PrimaryGeneratorAction::GeneratePrimaries().
   The type of a primary particle can be changed with G4ParticleGun commands 
   (see run2.mac).
   
\section B3_s4 DETECTOR RESPONSE : scorers

   A 'good' event is an event in which an identical energy of 511 keV is 
   deposited in two separate Crystals. A count of the number of such events 
   corresponds to a measure of the efficiency of the PET system. 
   The total dose deposited in a patient during a run is also computed. 
   
   Scorers are defined in DetectorConstruction::CreateScorers(). There are
   two G4MultiFunctionalDetector objects: one for the Crystal (EnergyDeposit), 
   and one for the Patient (DoseDeposit)
	
   EventAction::EndOfEventAction() collects informations event per event
   from the hits collections, and accumulates statistic for 
   RunAction::EndOfRunAction().	
   	
\section B3_s5 STACKING ACTION

   Beta decay of Fluor generates a neutrino. One wishes do not track this
   neutrino. Therefore one kills it immediately, before created particles
   will put in a stack.
   The function B3StackingAction::ClassifyNewTrack() is invoked by G4 kernel
   each time a new particle is created.

The following paragraphs are common to all basic examples

\section B3_A VISUALISATION

   The visualization manager is set via the G4VisExecutive class
   in the main () function in exampleB3.cc.    
   The initialisation of the drawing is done via a set of /vis/ commands
   in the macro vis.mac. This macro is automatically read from
   the main () function when the example is used in interactive running mode.

   By default, vis.mac opens an OpenGL viewer.
   The user can switch to other graphics systems by commenting out this line
   and instead uncommenting one of the other /vis/open statements, such as
   HepRepFile or DAWNFILE (which produce files that can be viewed with the
   HepRApp and DAWN viewers, respectively).

   The DAWNFILE, HepRepFile drivers are always available
   (since they require no external libraries), but the OGL driver requires:
     -# the visualisation & interfaces categories have been compiled
        with the environment variable G4VIS_BUILD_OPENGLX_DRIVER.
     -# exampleB3.cc has been compiled with G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX.
   (This is best done through Configure or CMake.)

   For more information on visualization, including information on how to
   install and run DAWN, OpenGL and HepRApp, see the visualization tutorials,
   for example,\n
   - <a href="http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/Presentations/vis/G4OpenGLTutorial/G4OpenGLTutorial.html">
     OpenGL Tutorial </a>
   - <a href="http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/Presentations/vis/G4DAWNTutorial/G4DAWNTutorial.html">
     DAWN Tutorial </a>
   - <a href="http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/Presentations/vis/G4HepRAppTutorial/G4HepRAppTutorial.html">
     HepRApp Tutorial </a>

   The tracks are automatically drawn at the end of each event, accumulated
   for all events and erased at the beginning of the next run.


\section B3_B USER INTERFACES
 
   The user command interface is set via the G4UIExecutive class
   in the the main () function in exampleB3.cc 
   The selection of the user command interface is then done automatically 
   according to the Geant4 configuration. The default command interface, 
   called G4UIterminal, is done via a standard G4cin/G4cout.
   On Linux and Sun-cc one can use a smarter command interface G4UItcsh. 
   It is enough to set the environment variable G4UI_USE_TCSH before compiling 
   exampleB3.cc

\section B3_C HOW TO RUN
 
    - compile and link to generate an executable
\verbatim
% cd B3
% make
\endverbatim                
 
    - execute exampleB3 in the 'interactive mode' with visualization
\verbatim
% exampleB3
and type in the commands from run1.mac line by line:  
Idle> /control/verbose 2
Idle> /tracking/verbose 2
Idle> /run/beamOn 1 
Idle> ...
Idle> exit
\endverbatim                
      or
\verbatim
Idle> /control/execute run1.mac
....
Idle> exit
\endverbatim                

    - execute exampleB3 in the 'batch' mode from macro files 
      (without visualization)
\verbatim
% exampleB3 run2.mac
% exampleB3 exampleB3.in > exampleB3.out
\endverbatim
