OpNovice2
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
Investigate optical properties and parameters. Details of optical
|
|
photon boundary interactions on a surface are recorded. Details
|
|
of optical photon generation and transport are recorded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|
|
|
The geometry consists of a cube "box" with a side of 2 m inside
|
|
the world cube of side 20 m. Optical properties of the box, the world,
|
|
and the surface may be set interactively via the commands defined
|
|
in the DetectorMessenger class.
|
|
|
|
Material properties may be added using the macro commands:
|
|
# for the box:
|
|
/opnovice2/boxProperty NAME EN1 V1 EN2 V2 [ .. ENn Vn]
|
|
/opnovice2/boxConstProperty NAME VALUE
|
|
# for the world:
|
|
/opnovice2/worldProperty NAME EN1 V1 EN2 V2 [ .. ENn Vn]
|
|
/opnovice2/worldConstProperty NAME VALUE
|
|
# for the surface:
|
|
/opnovice2/surfaceProperty NAME EN1 V1 EN2 V2 [ .. ENn Vn]
|
|
|
|
Multiple energy and value pairs may be specified for the energy-dependent
|
|
properties.
|
|
|
|
Values are in Geant4 internal units. Energy is in MeV.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
/opnovice2/boxProperty RINDEX 0.000002 1.3 0.000005 1.32 0.000008 1.34
|
|
sets the refractive index of the box to 1.3 at 2 eV, 1.32 at 5 eV, and
|
|
1.34 at 8 eV.
|
|
|
|
2- PHYSICS LIST
|
|
|
|
The FTFP_BERT physics list is used, with electromagnetic option
|
|
EMZ (option4) and G4OpticalPhysics for the optical physics.
|
|
|
|
3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The primary kinematic consists of a single particle. The type of
|
|
the particle, its energy, position, and direction, are set
|
|
in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can be changed via the G4
|
|
build-in commands of G4ParticleGun class (see the macros provided with
|
|
this example).
|
|
|
|
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. To get visualisation:
|
|
> /control/execute vis.mac
|
|
or run the program with no command line arguments:
|
|
$ ./OpNovice2
|
|
|
|
5- HOW TO START ?
|
|
|
|
- Execute OpNovice2 in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|
% OpNovice2 surface.mac
|
|
|
|
- Execute OpNovice2 in 'interactive mode' with visualization
|
|
% OpNovice2
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> type your commands
|
|
....
|
|
Idle> exit
|
|
|
|
6- RESULTS
|
|
|
|
A table of optical photon events is printed at the end of the run.
|
|
|
|
7- HISTOGRAMS
|
|
|
|
OpNovice2 has several predefined 1D histograms :
|
|
1 : Cerenkov spectrum
|
|
2 : scintillation spectrum
|
|
3 : boundary process status
|
|
4 : X momentum dir of scattered photons with px < 0
|
|
5 : Y momentum dir of scattered photons with px < 0
|
|
6 : Z momentum dir of scattered photons with px < 0
|
|
7 : X momentum dir of scattered photons with px >= 0
|
|
8 : Y momentum dir of scattered photons with px >= 0
|
|
9 : Z momentum dir of scattered photons with px >= 0
|
|
10 : X momentum dir of Fresnel-refracted photons
|
|
11 : Y momentum dir of Fresnel-refracted photons
|
|
12 : Z momentum dir of Fresnel-refracted photons
|
|
|
|
Histograms 4-12 are recorded for photons scattered from the +X
|
|
surface of the cube. Only the first interaction is recorded.
|
|
|
|
The histograms are managed by G4Analysis classes.
|
|
The histos can be individually activated with the command:
|
|
/analysis/h1/set id nbBins valMin valMax unit
|
|
where unit is the desired unit for the histo (MeV or keV, deg or mrad, etc..)
|
|
|
|
One can control the name of the histograms file with the command:
|
|
/analysis/setFileName name (default opnovice2)
|
|
|
|
It is possible to choose the format of the histogram file : root (default),
|
|
hbook, xml, csv, by using namespace in HistoManager.hh
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to print selected histograms on an ascii file:
|
|
/analysis/h1/setAscii id
|
|
All selected histos will be written on a file name.ascii (default opnovice2)
