Geant4 - an Object-Oriented Toolkit for Simulation in HEP

TestEm4
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Plot energy deposited by 9 MeV photon beam in an homogeneous medium.
|
|
|
|
1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|
|
|
It is a cylinder of 5 cm radius filled with C6F6.
|
|
|
|
2- PHYSICS LIST
|
|
|
|
The particle list contains only gamma, electron,positron.
|
|
The physics list contains the 'standard' electromagnetic processes.
|
|
|
|
3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The primary kinematic is a single 9 MeV gamma randomly shooted at the
|
|
middle of the cylinder.
|
|
|
|
4- VISUALIZATION
|
|
|
|
The Visualization Manager is set in the main().
|
|
The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands
|
|
/vis/.. in the macro vis.mac. This macro is
|
|
automatically read from the main in case of interactive running mode.
|
|
|
|
The detector has a default view which is a transversal view of the
|
|
cylinder.
|
|
|
|
The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run.
|
|
Optionaly one can choose to draw all particles, only the charged one,
|
|
or none. This command is defined in EventActionMessenger class.
|
|
|
|
5- PHYSICS SURVEY
|
|
|
|
The energy deposited in C6F6 is histogramed.
|
|
|
|
6- HOW TO START ?
|
|
|
|
- compile and link to generate an executable
|
|
% cd examples/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm4
|
|
% gmake
|
|
|
|
- execute TestEm4 in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|
% TestEm4 TestEm4.in
|
|
|
|
- execute TestEm4 in 'interactive mode' with visualization
|
|
% TestEm4
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> type your commands
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> exit
|
|
|
|
- visualize the histogram (paw)
|
|
paw> h/file 1 testem4.hbook
|
|
paw> option stat
|
|
paw> option logy
|
|
paw> h/pl 1
|
|
|
|
|
|
7- USING HISTOGRAMS
|
|
|
|
By default the histograms are not activated. To activate histograms
|
|
the environment variable G4ANALYSIS_USE should be defined. For instance
|
|
uncomment the flag G4ANALYSIS_USE in GNUmakefile.
|
|
|
|
Before compilation of the example it is optimal to clean up old files:
|
|
gmake histclean
|
|
gmake
|
|
|
|
It is possible to choose the format of the histogram file (hbook, root, XML):
|
|
comment/uncomment 1 line in the constructor of RunAction.
|
|
|
|
To use histograms, at least one of the AIDA implementations should be
|
|
available (see http://aida.freehep.org).
|
|
|
|
7a - PI
|
|
|
|
A package including AIDA and extended interfaces also using Python is PI,
|
|
available from: http://cern.ch/pi
|
|
|
|
Once installed PI or PI-Lite in a specified local area $MYPY, it is required
|
|
to add the installation path to $PATH, i.e. for example, for release 1.2.1 of
|
|
PI:
|
|
setenv PATH ${PATH}:$MYPI/1.2.1/app/releases/PI/PI_1_2_1/rh73_gcc32/bin
|
|
|
|
CERN users can use the PATH to the LCG area on AFS.
|
|
Before running the example the command should be issued:
|
|
eval `aida-config --runtime csh`
|
|
|
|
7b - OpenScientist
|
|
|
|
OpenScientist is available at http://OpenScientist.lal.in2p3.fr.
|
|
|
|
You have to "setup" the OpenScientist AIDA implementation before compiling
|
|
(then with G4ANALYSIS_USE set) and running your Geant4 application.
|
|
|
|
On UNIX you setup, with a csh flavoured shell :
|
|
csh> source <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.csh
|
|
or with a sh flavoured shell :
|
|
sh> . <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.sh
|
|
On Windows :
|
|
DOS> call <<OpenScientist install path>/aida-setup.bat
|
|
|
|
You can use various file formats for writing (AIDA-XML, hbook, root).
|
|
These formats are readable by the Lab onx interactive program
|
|
or the OpenPAW application. See the web pages.
|
|
|
|
|
|
With OpenPAW, on a run.hbook file, one can view the histograms
|
|
with something like :
|
|
OS> opaw
|
|
opaw> h/file 1 run.hbook ( or opaw> h/file 1 run.aida or run.root)
|
|
opaw> zone 2 2
|
|
opaw> h/plot 1
|
|
opaw> h/plot 2
|
