Session 4 : Exercise

Code for download: session4_start.tar.gz

Exercise 4a:

• • Explore processes defined for proton, e-, e+, gamma particles via UI commands and add these commands in run.mac.
    • Hint: See the commands /particle/select and /particle/process/*
  • Add a command line option to select any Geant4 physics list using G4PhysListFactory class when starting the example application, for example:
    • ./exampleED -p FTFP_BERT_EMV
    • The command line options were already added in the main() function. See the documentation for the basic example B4 , where use of a similar code is described in the section « How to run ».
    • Check availability of the physics list via
      G4bool IsReferencePhysList(const G4String& physListName);

Exercise 4b:

• Set particles production thresholds (cuts) via a Geant4 command in run.mac.
  • • Use Help in Qt session to find out needed commands.
    • See setCut* commands in /run directory.
• Define a region in EM calorimeter with production thresholds different from the default ones.
