Hands-on 4

Code for download: session4_start.tar.gz

Exercise 4a:

Explore processes defined for proton, e-, e+, gamma particles via UI commands and add these commands in run.mac. * Hint: See the commands /particle/select and /particle/process/*

  • Add a command line option to select any Geant4 physics list using G4PhysListFactory class when starting the example application, for example:

    ./exampleED -p FTFP_BERT_EMV
    • The command line options were already added in the main() function. See the documentation for the basic example B4 , where use of a similar code is described in the section “How to run”.

  • Check availability of the physics list via G4bool IsReferencePhysList(const G4String& physListName);

Exercise 4b:

  • Set particles production thresholds (cuts) via Geant4 command in run.mac.

    • Use Help in Qt session to find out needed commands.
    • See setCut* commands in /run directory.

  • Define a region in EM calorimeter with production thresholds different from the default ones.
