Magnetic Field Map

Refer to the design of Solid_Magnet

create field map for GEMC from possion output

located at Solid website http://hallaweb.jlab.org/12GeV/SoLID/download/

• BaBar map
• CDF map
• ZEUS map

convert SF7 to GEMC map

For solenoid type of magnet, assume azimuthal symmetry.

SF7 map format produced by PossionSuperfish program SF7.exe contain text lines for explanation, map range and grid size, map values (R, Z, Br, Bz, B, A, dBz/dr, dBr/dz, field index).

GEMC map format requires R, Z, Br, Bz

Additional difference is SF7 map values are in order of R increasing first when Z is fixed, while GEMC map values are in order of Z increasing first when R is fixed.

Thus we need the conversion script SF7toGEMCmap.C at svn "database_io/halla12/solid/field/"

for example:
To covert SF7 map file CDFv2.sf7, start root and run ".x SF7toGEMCmap.C("CDFv2.sf7")", 
the output should be like:
  open SF7 file CDFv2.sf7 ok
  Rmin 0 Zmin -300
  Rmax 300 Zmax 475
  R and Z increments:     300     775
  please put 301 776 instead into database
  the units are in cm and G
  covert to GEMC map file CDFv2.sf7.GEMCmap ok

plot SF7 map and integrate over B

SF7toGEMCmap.C(option)

options:
"SF7_filename"                  convert map only 
"SF7_filename",1                convert map and show map plot
"SF7_filename",2                show map plot only
"SF7_filename",3,x1,y1,x2,y2    show map plot and integrate over B along the line (x1,y1)-(x2,y2)

field map file info in database

To make GEMC aware the field map file name, grid, position etc, we need to put those in database table "magnetic_fields"

The scripts are at svn "database_io/halla12/solid/field/"

edit the file "magnetic_fields.txt" with grid info from output of "SF7toGEMCmap.C"

just run "go_table_magf magnetic_fields.txt user_geometry"
