Solid sim geant4

Solid simulation with GEMC

Quick start

note:

1. make sure you have no other environmental variable set at login which may have conflict with GEMC. one way to do it is to rename .cshrc and .login to something else and log out and then in again

2. this will run GEMC 1.8 with Geant4.9.6.p01 as 7/26/2013

on ifarm using pre-compiled GEMC instllation

ssh ifarm.jlab.org
svn checkout https://jlabsvn.jlab.org/svnroot/solid/solid_gemc
sed s/solid_gemc_path/"~\/solid_gemc"/ solid_gemc/script/set_solidGEMC_farm > set_solidGEMC_farm_mine
source set_solidGEMC_farm_mine
$SoLID_GEMC/script/run_solid_CLEO_PVDIS  (this will show SoLID PVDIS setup)
$SoLID_GEMC/script/run_solid_CLEO_SIDIS_3he  (this will show SoLID SIDIS setup)

on any machine using a local GEMC installation

download and install GEMC by following the installation instruction
svn checkout https://jlabsvn.jlab.org/svnroot/solid/solid_gemc
modify solid_gemc/script/set_solidGEMC_local to your local setting and then source it
then you can run the script like run_solid_CLEO_PVDIS or run_solid_CLEO_SIDIS_3he

For new users

Read the general GEMC info on its website to learn what it is. In particular take a look at the GEMC tutorials.

Check out the installation and running guide to run GEMC with Solid configuration.

Finally you can go through rest of items to really start using it.

Many information are cross linked through pages even with SoLID hardware design and software analysis. So make sure to browse around.

Things to know

Use a graphic SVN to monitor code change with alert

GEMC ouput with unit MeV, mm, ns in flux and gen banks, we should keep the same unit for newly generated banks.

GEMC doesn't record passby particles which deposit zero energy in the sensitive area. To record it by option "-RECORD_PASSBY=1"
