My first Geant4 application

This contains the code of the lab sessions of FPFE.

To get the code:
git clone [email protected]:alexsr-98/FPFE_PL.git MyFirstApplication

How to build this application

1. Create the build folder

cd MyFirstApplication

mkdir build

cd build

2. Compile the code

cmake3 -DGeant4_DIR=/Where/Your/Geant4/installation/is/lib/Geant4-10.6.0/ ../

make

How to run this application

1. Interactive mode

To run the application in the interactive mode, move to the build folder an execute

./main

2. Use macros

You can use macros to set up the simulation automaticaly. To display the visual simulation execute

./main ../vis.mac

A simple simulation without visual representation is implemented in the run2.mac

./main ../run2.mac

3. Perform the Meroli experiment

To reproduce the results from the Meroli experiment

./main ../experiment/Meroli_exp.mac

This will produce a rootfile in the build folder called Histograms.root

To plot this information together with the experimental data from experiment/exp_Meroli_100MeV_electron_5p6um_Si.dat, move to MyFirstApplication and execute

python experiment/plotter.py

This will create a folder plots_ExpMeroli with the plots.

4. Study different materials, thickness, energy and particles.

Move to MyFirstApplication and execute

python executer.py

python plotter.py

This will create a folder plots with all the histograms configured in executer.py.
