|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This example is based on extended/electromagnetic/TestEm3 and
|
|
demonstrates how to register specialized tracking managers for
|
|
a particle or a set of particles.
|
|
|
|
1- Geometry definition
|
|
|
|
The geometry of a simplified sampling calorimeter is used as
|
|
in TestEm3, please refer to its documentation for more details.
|
|
The same UI commands exist for modifying the geometry (number
|
|
of layers and absorbers, material and its thickness), without
|
|
the /testem/ prefix.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the definition of the volumes, this example adds
|
|
two regions, "Front" and "Back", which contain the front and
|
|
rear half of the calorimeter.
|
|
|
|
2- Physics lists
|
|
|
|
By default, the example uses G4EmStandardPhysics and registers
|
|
processes to the G4ProcessManager. This can be changed with the
|
|
/setMode UI command. Possible values are:
|
|
|
|
processes: use G4EmStandardPhysics, the default
|
|
tracking: use the same physics as G4EmStandardPhysics, but
|
|
implemented as a specialized tracking manager for
|
|
electrons, positrons, and gammas; see the file
|
|
EmStandardPhysicsTrackingManager.cc for details.
|
|
specialized: use a specialized tracking manager for gammas; for
|
|
the purpose of demonstration,
|
|
- it uses G4EmStandardPhysics as the basis,
|
|
- defers processing of gammas with a kinetic energy
|
|
of more than 100 MeV,
|
|
- implement a specialized stepping loop for the
|
|
"Back" region of the detector.
|
|
See the file SpecializedTrackingManager.cc for more
|
|
details on the exact implementation.
|
|
|
|
3- How to start?
|
|
|
|
This example comes with one macro file for each of the described
|
|
modes that can be passed as a parameter to the executable:
