------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================================= Geant4 - an Object-Oriented Toolkit for Simulation in HEP ========================================================= ExUCN ----- Peter Gumplinger TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada This example exhibits the functionality of UCN physics 1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION The geometry consists of a single hollow pipe (cylinder) placed in a world. Default World Size: G4Box - 1m x 1m x 100m The pipe wall is made of G4_Ni while the world and, hence, the inside of the pipe is made from G4_Galactic The G4UCNMaterialPropertiesTable properties are: "REFLECTIVITY" = 1 "DIFFUSION" = 0.1 "FERMIPOT" = 252.0 neV "SPINFLIP"= 0. "LOSS" = 12.5e-5 "LOSSCS" = 0. "ABSCS"= 4.49 // 1/v loss cross-section at room temp. "SCATCS" = 18.5 // (incoherent) "elastic" scattering cross-section The MicroRoughnessParameters are: Roughness correlation length w = 30nm Surface roughness b = 1nm # of angles theta_i in the look-up tables: 180 # of energie bins in the look-up tables: 1000 min. and max. values of theta_i: 0*degree and 90*degree min. and max values of Energy: 1neV and 1000neV # of angles theta_o in the look-up table calculation: 15 # of angels phi_o in the look-up table calculation: 15 angular cut: 0.01*degree The default step limits in the vacuum is 1mm and maxTime is 100s The simulation is in a G4UniformGravityField 2- PHYSICS LIST The ExUCNPhysicsList defines only G4Neutron, G4Proton, G4Electron, G4AntiNeutrinoE, G4MuonPlus, G4MuonMinus and G4GenericIon Through ExUCNExtraPhysics the following processes are instantiated: G4StepLimiter G4UserSpecialCuts and in ConstructUCN() G4UCNLoss G4UCNAbsorption G4UCNMultiScattering 3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR The primary kinematic consists of a single ultra-colde neutron (uniform between 1neV and 100neV from the origin uniform into 4pi 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 5- HOW TO START ? This example handles the program arguments in a new way. It can be run with the following optional arguments: % ExUCN [-m macro ] [-u UIsession] [-t nThreads] The -t option is available only in multi-threading mode and it allows the user to override the Geant4 default number of threads. The number of threads can be also set via G4FORCENUMBEROFTHREADS environment variable which has the top priority. - execute ExUCN in 'batch' mode from macro files e.g. % ExUCN -m ExUCN.in > ExUCN.out & - execute ExUCN in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g. % ExUCN .... Idle> type your commands, for example: Idle> run/beamOn 1 .... 6- HISTOGRAMS - no histograms for now
