Session 8

More on Geometry, Physics

Objectives

  • Explain how to introduce magnetic fields
  • Expose more advanced placements techniques, allowing to place any repeated volumes with minimal memory consumption
  • Expose how to store and retrieve a geometry from file
  • Expose the physics content of Geant4 (electromagnetic part)

Presentations

  • More on Geometry - 1 ( slides )

    • Magnetic field

  • More on Geometry - 2 ( slides)

    • Repeated placements (parameterised volume, replicas and divisions, nested parameterisation), Special techniques of placements (Assembly volume, Reflected volume), Debugging geometries

  • More on Geometry - 3 ( slides)

    • Geometry persistency (ASCII text models, GDML, Importing geometries from CAD)

  • More on Physics - part 1 ( slides )

    • EM physics
      • EM standard overview, Multiple scattering

Exercise Geometry (8a,b) , Physics (9a)

  • Add magnetic field
