-------------------------------------------------- ========================================================= Geant4 - an Object-Oriented Toolkit for Simulation in HEP ========================================================= AnaEx03 ------- Examples AnaEx01, AnaEx02 and AnaEx03 show the usage of histogram and tuple manipulations using G4Analysis, ROOT and AIDA compliant systems on the same scenario. All analysis manipulations (histo booking, filling, saving histos in a file, etc...) are located in one class : HistoManager, implementation of which is different in each example. All the other classes are same in all three examples. This example shows the usage of histogram and tuple manipulations using an AIDA compliant system. The example is an adaptation of examples/novice/N03. It describes a simple sampling calorimeter setup. 1- Detector description ----------------------- The calorimeter is a box made of a given number of layers. A layer consists of an absorber plate and of a detection gap. The layer is replicated. Six parameters define the calorimeter : - the material of the absorber, - the thickness of an absorber plate, - the material of the detection gap, - the thickness of a gap, - the number of layers, - the transverse size of the calorimeter (the input face is a square). The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class, but all of the above parameters can be modified interactively via the commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class. |<----layer 0---------->|<----layer 1---------->|<----layer 2---------->| | | | | ========================================================================== || | || | || | || || | || | || | || beam || absorber | gap || absorber | gap || absorber | gap || ======> || | || | || | || || | || | || | || ========================================================================== 2- Physics list --------------- The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available in this example are set in the FTFP_BERT physics list. 3- Action Initialization ------------------------ A newly introduced class, ActionInitialization, instantiates and registers to Geant4 kernel all user action classes which are defined thread-local and a run action class which is defined both thread-local and global. The thread-local action classes are defined in ActionInitialization::Build() and the global run action class is defined in ActionInitialization::BuildForMaster(). Note that ActionInitialization::Build() is also used to instatiate user action clasess in sequential mode. 4- An event : PrimaryGeneratorAction ------------------------------------ The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the calorimeter perpendicular to the input face. The type of the particle and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can be changed via the G4 build-in commands of ParticleGun class. 5- Histograms ------------- To produce histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be available. See the file InstallAida.txt AnaEx03 can produce 4 histograms : histo 1 : total energy deposit in absorber per event histo 2 : total energy deposit in gap per event histo 3 : total track length of charged particles in absorber per event histo 4 : total track length of charged particles in gap per event And 2 Ntuples : - ntuple 1: - one row per event : EnergyAbs EnergyGap - ntuple 1: - one row per event : TrackLAbs TrackLGap These histos and ntuples are booked in HistoManager and filled from EventAction. One can control the name of the histograms file and its format: default name : AnaEx03 possible formats : hbook root (default) xml See HistoManager constructor Note that, by default, histograms are disabled. To activate them, uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile, *before* compilation. 6- OpenScientist ---------------- See the files README.AIDA and README.OpenScientist for more indications how to use this system to visualize and handle histogram files. 7- How to build --------------- An additional step is needed when building the example with GNUmake due to using the extra shared directory: % cd path_to_AnaEx03/AnaEx03 % gmake setup % gmake This will copy the files from shared in the example include and src; to remove these files: % gmake clean_setup 7- How to run -------------- - Execute AnaEx03 in the 'interactive mode' with visualization: % ./AnaEx03 and type in the commands from run.mac line by line: Idle> /control/verbose 2 Idle> /tracking/verbose 1 Idle> /run/beamOn 10 Idle> ... Idle> exit or Idle> /control/execute run.mac .... Idle> exit - Execute AnaEx03 in the 'batch' mode from macro files (without visualization) % ./AnaEx03 run.mac % ./AnaEx03 run.mac > run.out The AnaEx03.in macro is used in Geant4 testing.
