=========================================================
Geant4 - an Object-Oriented Toolkit for Simulation in HEP
=========================================================
Simple Absorbed Silicon Detector
SASiDet
based on
TestEm5
-------
How to study the transmission, absorption and reflection of particles through
a single, thin or thick, layer of material.
In particular, the effects of the multiple scattering can be plotted.
Macro files used for Milan Roberson's Senior Thesis:
All simulate 1,000,000 x-rays, using a flat input spectrum from 2-25 keV
thesis_abs_away_const.mac
Absorber is present, Aluminized side is facing away from detector
thesis_abs_towards_const.mac
Absorber is present, Aluminized side is facing towards detector
thesis_no_abs_const.mac
Absorber is not present.
1- GEOMETRY DEFINITION
The "World" is a 30cm side cube made of air.
The absorber (if present) is 1cm in the positive X direction from the center of the World,
and is composed of 1000A of Al, 127 microns of Kapton, 100A of ITO. Its orientation (which
side is facing the detector) can be changed by command prior to Run Initialization.
The detector is modeled after the AmpTek XR-100CR Si detector, and is placed 10cm in the
positive X direction from the center of the World.
This default geometry can be changed in DetectorConstruction
2- PHYSICS LIST
Physics lists are based on modular design. Several modules are instantiated:
1. Transportation
2. EM physics
3. Decays
4. StepMax - for step limitation
EM physics builders can be local (eg. in this example) or from G4 kernel
physics_lists subdirectory.
Local physics builders:
- "local" standard EM physics with current 'best' options setting
these options are explicited in PhysListEmStandard
- "standardSSM" standard EM physics with alternative single Coulomb
scattering model instead of multiple scattering.
From geant4/source/physics_lists/builders:
- "emstandard_opt0" recommended standard EM physics for LHC
- "emstandard_opt1" best CPU performance standard physics for LHC
- "emstandard_opt2" similar fast simulation
- "emstandard_opt3" best standard EM options - analog to "local" above
- "emstandard_opt4" best current advanced EM options standard + lowenergy
- "emstandardWVI" standard EM physics and WentzelVI multiple scattering
- "emstandardSS" standard EM physics and single scattering model
- "emlivermore" low-energy EM physics using Livermore data
- "empenelope" low-energy EM physics implementing Penelope models
- "emlowenergy" low-energy EM physics implementing experimental
low-energy models
Physics lists and options can be (re)set with UI commands
Please, notice that options set through G4EmProcessOptions are global, eg
for all particle types. In G4 builders, it is shown how to set options per
particle type.
3- AN EVENT : THE PRIMARY GENERATOR
The primary kinematic consists of a single particle which hits the absorber
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 G4GeneralParticleSource class (see the macros provided with this
example).
In addition one can choose randomly the impact point of the incident particle.
The interactive command is built in PrimaryGeneratorMessenger class.
4- VISUALIZATION
The Visualization Manager is set in the main().
The initialisation of the drawing is done via the commands in vis.mac
In interactive session:
PreInit or Idle > /control/execute vis.mac
The example has a default view which is a longitudinal view of the detector.
The tracks are drawn at the end of event, and erased at the end of run.
Optionally one can choose to draw all particles, only the charged, or none.
This command is defined in EventActionMessenger class.
5- TRACKING
During the tracking, one can keep or not the secondaries : see StackingAction
class and its Messenger (StackingMessenger).
One can also limit 'by hand' the step lenght of the particle. As an example,
this limitation is implemented as a 'full' process : see StepMax class and its
Messenger. The 'StepMax process' is registered in the Physics List.
6- DETECTOR RESPONSE
At the end of a run, from the histogram(s), one can study different
physics quantities such as :
- energy deposit in the absorber,
- energy spectrum of secondaries at creation,
- energy spectrum and angle distribution of particles at exit,
- transmission and backscattering coefficients,
- ...
7- List of the built-in histograms
----------------------------------
The test contains more than 60 built-in 1D histograms, which are managed by
G4AnalysisManager class and its Messenger. 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..)
(see the macros xxxx.mac).
1 "energy deposit in absorber"
2 "energy of charged secondaries at creation"
3 "energy of neutral secondaries at creation"
4 "energy of charged at creation (log10(Ekin))"
5 "energy of neutral at creation (log10(Ekin))"
6 "x_vertex of charged secondaries (all)"
7 "x_vertex of charged secondaries (not absorbed)"
10 "(transmit, charged) : kinetic energy at exit of world"
11 "(transmit, charged) : ener fluence: dE(MeV)/dOmega"
12 "(transmit, charged) : space angle dN/dOmega"
13 "(transmit, charged) : projected angle at exit of world"
14 "(transmit, charged) : projected position at exit of world"
15 "(transmit, charged) : radius at exit of world"
20 "(transmit, neutral) : kinetic energy at exit of world"
21 "(transmit, neutral) : ener fluence: dE(MeV)/dOmega"
22 "(transmit, neutral) : space angle dN/dOmega"

42 "(reflect , neutral) : space angle dN/dOmega"
43 "(reflect , neutral) : projected angle at exit of world"
50 "energy of Auger e- at creation"
51 "energy of fluorescence gamma at creation"
52 "energy of Auger e- at creation (log scale)"
53 "energy of fluorescence gamma at creation (log scale)"
54 "energy of PIXE Auger e- at creation"
55 "energy of PIXE gamma at creation"
56 "energy of PIXE Auger e- at creation (log scale)"
57 "energy of PIXE gamma at creation (log scale)"

59 "energy of G4DNA gamma at creation"
60 "energy of G4DNA Auger e- at creation (log scale)"
61 "energy of G4DNA gamma at creation (log scale)"
The histograms can be viewed using ROOT or PAW.
One can control the name of the histograms file with the command:
/analysis/setFileName name (default sasidet)
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 sasidet)
8- GEANT4/GEANT3/DATA COMPARISON
A Geant4/Geant3/exp. data comparison is given here for a few cases.
These cases can be classified as follow:
- e-/e+ incident particles versus protons and others.
- 3 energy regimes: low: < 1MeV; medium: 1MeV -> few 10MeV; high: > 100MeV
We indicate here the corresponding macros.
| low energy | medium energy | high energy

9- HOW TO START ?
- execute SASiDet in 'batch' mode from macro files e.g.

- execute SASiDet in 'interactive' mode with visualization e.g.
% $(G4INSTALL)/bin/$(G4SYSTEM)/SASiDet
Then type your commands, for instance :
Idle> control/execute vis.mac
Idle> run/beamOn 5
....
