|
Geant4 application for testing of dark matter particles and processes
|
|
(based on TestEm8 and monopole examples)
|
|
|
|
This is very preliminary and simplified Geant4 example for light dark matter (LDM) particles.
|
|
It consists of LDM bremsstrahlung process (in G4LDMPhysics constructor)
|
|
for protons creating G4LDMPhotons.
|
|
The latter decays creating G4LDMHi and G4LDMHiBar LDM scalar particles. They
|
|
can scatter on nucleons and electrons.
|
|
|
|
The first version has electromagnetic processes only. Hadron constructors can be added similarly
|
|
to HadrN examples.
|
|
|
|
More LDM processes will be added according to experiment requirements
|
|

1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
|
|
|
|
The geometry consists of a single block of a homogenous material,
|
|
placed in a world.
|
|
|
|
Parameters define the geometry :
|
|
- the material of the box
|
|
- the thickness of the box
|
|
- the tranverse dimension of the box
|
|
|
|
The default is 130 cm of tungsten.
|
|
Equivalent UI commands are following:
|
|
/testex/det/setMat G4_W
|
|
/testex/det/sizeX 130 cm
|
|
/testex/det/sizeYZ 30 cm
|
|
|
|
The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class,
|
|
but all of the above parameters can be changed interactively via
|
|
the commands defined in the DetectorMessenger class.
|
|
|
|
2- PHYSICS LIST
|
|
|
|
Physics Lists include EM standard physics and decay physics, additional
|
|
dark matter particle physics imlemented inside PhysicsList method. By
|
|
default DMLPhoton is defined with the mass 0.5 GeV.
|
|
To define different mass of this photon or enable DMLHi, DMLHiBar
|
|
command line commands should be applied.
|
|
|
|
3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
|
|
|
|
The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the
|
|
block 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).
|
|
The default is proton 100 GeV
|
|
|
|
4- HOW TO START ?
|
|
|
|
- execute Test in 'batch' mode from macro files
|
|
% dmparticle dmparticle.in
|
|
% dmparticle dmparticle.in 0.2 0.4
|
|
|
|
two extra numbers are masses in GeV of DMLPhoton and DMLHi
|
|
|
|
5- HISTOGRAMS
|
|
|
|
The result is five histograms:
|
|
- energy deposition along the target
|
|
|
|
The histogram is saved in Root file.
