TestEm2
|
|
-------
|
|
This example allows to do the shower development of an single primary
|
|
particle, and to survey the physics processes which occur,
|
|
with printing and visualization.
|
|
|
|
1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|
|
|
The geometry consists of a cylinder of homegenous material.
|
|
This cylinder is replicated longitudinaly (slice) and radialy (ring).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Material can be choosen: Air Water lAr Al Fe BGO PbWO4 Pb.
|
|
eg: /testem/det/setMat PbWO4
|
|
|
|
The size of the slices and rings are expressed in radiation length units
|
|
and can be changed.
|
|
eg: /testem/det/setLbin 20 1. ---> 20 slices of 1. radl
|
|
/testem/det/setRbin 5 0.25 ---> 5 rings of 0.25 radl
|
|
/testem/det/update ---> rebuild the geometry
|
|
|
|
An uniform magnetic field along the cylinder axis can be set.
|
|
eg: /testem/det/setField 5 tesla
|
|
|
|
2- PHYSICS LISTS
|
|
|
|
Physics Lists are subdivided on 4 following modules:
|
|
1. "particles" - particle definitions
|
|
2. "general" - decays and transportation
|
|
3. "standard" (alternative) - standard EM physics
|
|
4. "model" (alternative) - standard EM physics using model approach
|
|
|
|
3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the
|
|
cylinder 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).
|
|
|
|
A RUN is a set of events.
|
|
|
|
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. In interactive session:
|
|
PreInit or Idle > /control/execute vis.mac
|
|
|
|
The detector has a default view which is a longitudinal 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 DEMO
|
|
|
|
The particle's type and the physic processes which will be available
|
|
in this example are set in PhysicsList class.
|
|
|
|
In addition a build-in interactive command (/process/inactivate proname)
|
|
allows to activate/inactivate the processes one by one.
|
|
|
|
The threshold for producing secondaries can be changed.
|
|
eg: /testem/phys/setCuts 100 microm
|
|
/run/initialize
|
|
|
|
6- HOW TO START ?
|
|
|
|
- compile and link to generate an executable
|
|
% cd TestEm2
|
|
% gmake
|
|
|
|
- execute TestEm2 in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|
% TestEm2 run01.mac
|
|
|
|
- execute TestEm2 in 'interactive mode' with visualization
|
|
% TestEm2
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> type your commands
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> exit
|
|
|
|
7- HISTOGRAMS
|
|
|
|
TestEm2 produces several histo which are saved as testem2.paw
|
|
|
|
Content of these histo:
|
|
|
|
1 : energy deposit per event
|
|
2 : charged track length per event
|
|
3 : neutral track length per event
|
|
|
|
4 : longitudinal energy profile
|
|
5 : cumulated longitudinal energy profile
|
|
6 : rms of cumulated longitudinal energy profile
|
|
|
|
7 : gamma's flux
|
|
8 : positron's flux
|
|
9 : electron's flux
|
|
|
|
10 : radial energy profile
|
|
11 : cumulated radial energy profile
|
|
12 : rms of cumulated radial energy profile
|
|
|
|
Note that histograms are disabled via the flag G4NOHIST in the GNUmakefile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
8- Using the Anaphe implementation of the AIDA 3.0 histograms:
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
In order to use the Anaphe implementation of the AIDA 3.0 interfaces,
|
|
the 'aida-config' command (which is used in the GNUmakefile) is
|
|
available at:
|
|
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/share/LHCXX/latest/scripts/aida-config
|
|
|
|
In order to run the executable, you need to source the following
|
|
script (once):
|
|
$HOME/bin/setupAnaphe.csh (or $HOME/bin/setupAnaphe)
|
|
|
|
At cern 'setupAnaphe' is available at:
|
|
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/share/LHCXX/latest/scripts/setupAnaphe.csh
|
|
(or /afs/cern.ch/sw/lhcxx/share/LHCXX/latest/scripts/setupAnaphe)
