/*! \page ExampleAnaEx02 Example AnaEx02
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
ROOT system. Please install ROOT before building this example:
http://root.cern.ch
The example is an adaptation of examples/novice/N03. It describes a simple
sampling calorimeter setup.
\section AnaEx02_s1 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.

\section AnaEx02_s2 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.
\section AnaEx02_s3 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.
\section AnaEx02_s4 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.
\section AnaEx02_s5 Histograms
To produce histograms, ROOT system must be installed
AnaEx02 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 :
- default name : AnaEx02
Format : root
See HistoManager constructor
\section AnaEx02_s6 How to build
An additional step is needed when building the example with GNUmake
due to using the extra shared directory:
\verbatim
% cd path_to_AnaEx02/AnaEx02
% gmake setup
% gmake
\endverbatim
This will copy the files from shared in the example include and src;
to remove these files:
\verbatim
% gmake clean_setup
\endverbatim
