9 Particles & Materials predefined 71 particles 25 materials Transport limits 9

10 Generalized Particles Numbers > 200 designate families of particles, grouped according to some common characteristics (all hadrons, or all charged particles, etc.). In Fluka, they are called Generalized Particles and can be used only for scoring 10

11 Geometry The Combinatorial Geometry (CG) used by FLUKA The input format can be fixed or name based (free). Use of the latter is strongly encouraged The input sequence must be completely contained between GEOBEGIN and GEOEND cards Four concepts are fundamental in the FLUKA CG: Bodies basic convex objects + infinite planes & cylinders Zones sub-region defined only with intersection and subtraction (used internally) Regionsare defined as boolean operations of bodies (union of zones) Lattices duplication of existing objects (translated & rotated) Bodies are the building blocks of the CG. FLUKA provides both finite and infinite convex bodies for a total of 20 geometrical shapes, with the following code words ARB WED Red Blue Green BOX XCC ELL XEC PLA XYP RAW XZP RCC YCC REC YEC RPP YZP SPH ZCC TRC ZEC CG legacy, recommended to avoid using can be used safely should be preferred when possible, better optimized 11

12 Geometry Regions are defined as combinations of bodies obtained by boolean operations All regions must be contained within a surrounding blackhole: an infinitely absorbing material, designated by the FLUKA material number 1(BLCKHOLE). GEOBEGIN card VOXELS card (optional) Geometry title (and reading format options) Body data END card Region data END card LATTICE cards (optional) Region volumes (optionally requested by a flag in the Geometry title) GEOEND card 12

14 Geometry Each region is described as a combination of one or more bodies, by means of the three operator symbols: - + Operators: Subtraction + Intersection Union Region name must begin by an alphabetical character and must not be longer than 8 characters Avoid touching surfaces Especially when floating point operators are involved Use cutting surfaces B instead 14

15 Input & Cards The input of Fluka consists of a text file containing a sequence of option lines cards Input file Fixed of Free format Fixed format is A8, 2X, 6E10.0, A8 * Card What(1) What(2) What(3) What(4) What(5) What(6) SDUM Since 2006, practical naming convention in input files for; material names particle or generalized particle names region names, if the geometry too is written in name format detector names A special can be used corresponding to the largest material number, particle id, and region number respectively DEFAULTS must be issued at the very beginning of input. It can be preceded only by a GLOBAL card and by command TITLE 15

16 Preprocessor FLUKA supports preprocessing defines like used e.g., in C or C++. Useful feature to keep many various setups and configurations in a single input file Commands: #define VARIABLE1 #define VARIABLE2 #ifdefvariable1 #elifvariable2 #else #endif In FLUKA up to 10 nesting of #if #else are supported 16

17 Basic Input One keyword, 6 floating point BEAM numbers, one keyword (for each Energy, Particle cards) defining several beam characteristics: type of particle, energy, divergence, profile and statistical weight BEAMPOS Starting point, Direction cosines defines the coordinates of the centre of the beam spot(i.e., the point from which transport starts) and the beam direction GEOMETRY cards appear here Scorers Estimators 17

18 Basic Input (DEFAULTS) 18

19 Scoring SCORE scores energy deposited (or star density) in all regions USRTRACK, USRCOLL score average differential fluence of a given type or family of particles in a given region USRBDX scores average fluence or current of a given type or family of particles on a given surface USRBIN scores the spatial distribution of energy deposited, or total fluence (or star density, or momentum transfer) in a regular mesh (cylindrical or Cartesian) described by the user USRYIELD scores a double differential yield of particles escaping from a surface. The distribution can be with respect to energy and angle RESNUCLEi scores residual nuclei in a given region more details are given in the respective lecture on activation EVENTBIN is like USRBIN, but prints the binning output after each event instead of an average over histories USERDUMP defines the events to be written onto a collision tape file AUXSCORE defines filters and conversion coefficients 19

20 Scoring To analyze the results of the different scoring options, several programs are available The most powerful ones are kept in $FLUPRO/flutil They assume that the estimator files are unformatted, and can calculate standard deviations and integral values over many cycles: ustsuw.f to analyze USRTRACK and USRCOLL outputs usxsuw.f to analyze USRBDX outputs usysuw.f to analyze USRYIELD outputs ubsuw.f to analyze USRBIN outputs usrsuw.f to analyze RESNUCLEi outputs Each of these programs (except usbsuw) produces three files: text file with extension _sum.lis which contains averages, standard deviations, cumulative (integral)quantities formatted file which can replace the N unformatted estimator files and can be used for further calculations text file with extension _tab.lis to be easily readout by graphic codes Simpler programs are also provided in the manual 20

46 History Geant3 developed at CERN ( ) Geant4 (C++) is the successor of Geant3 (Fortran) Dec 94 Apr 97 Jul 98 Dec 98 Project start First alpha release First beta release First Geant4 public release - version 1.0 Geant4 was used by BaBar experiment at SLAC Since 2000 Geant4 is used for Monte Carlo simulation of particle transport for ATLAS, CMS, LHCb since June 30th, 06 Dec 15th, 06 May 11th, 07 June 29th, 07 Dec 14th, 07 Geant4 version 8.1 release Geant4 version 8.2 release Geant4 version 8.3 release Geant4 version 9.0 release Geant4 version 9.1 release 46

47 Geant4 Packages Geant4 consists of 17 categories. Independently developed and maintained by WG(s) responsible to each category. Interfaces between categories (e.g. top level design) are maintained by the Global architecture WG. Geant4 Kernel Packages in red Handles run, event, track, step, hit, trajectory. Provides frameworks of geometrical representation and physics processes. 47

48 Application States Geant4 has six application states. G4State_PreInit PreInit Material, Geometry, Particle and/or Physics initialize Process need to be initialized/defined Idle G4State_Idle G4State_GeomClosed Geometry is optimized and ready to process an event G4State_EventProc An event is processing Run (event loop) Ready to start a run beamon exit GeomClosed Quit EventProc G4State_Quit (Normal) termination Abort G4State_Abort A fatal exception occurred and program is aborting 48

49 Terminology Run, event, track, step, step point Track trajectory, Step trajectory point Process At rest, along step, post step Cut = production threshold Sensitive detector, hit, hits collection 49

50 Run in Geant4 Run starts with Beam On. Within a run, the user cannot change detector setup settings of physics processes Run is a collection of events which share the same detector and physics conditions. A run consists of one event loop. At the beginning of a run, geometry is optimized for navigation and cross-section tables are calculated according to materials appear in the geometry and the cut-off values defined. G4RunManager class manages processing a run, a run is represented by G4Run class or a user-defined class derived from G4Run. A run class may have a summary results of the run. G4UserRunAction is the optional user hook. 50

51 Event in Geant4 An event is the basic unit of simulation in Geant4 At beginning of processing, primary tracks are generated These primary tracks are pushed into a stack A track is popped up from the stack one by one and tracked Resulting secondary tracks are pushed into the stack This tracking lasts as long as the stack has a track When the stack becomes empty, processing of one event is over G4Event class represents an event. It has following objects at the end of its (successful) processing. List of primary vertices and particles (as input) Hits and Trajectory collections (as output) G4EventManager class manages processing an event. G4UserEventAction is the optional user hook. 51

52 Track in Geant4 Track is a snapshot of a particle it has physical quantities of current instance only. as the particle moves, the quantities in the snapshot change at any particular instance, a track has position, physical quantities it is not a collection of steps Track object is deleted when it goes out of the world volume, it disappears (by e.g. decay, inelastic scattering), it goes down to zero kinetic energy and no AtRest additional process is required, or the user decides to kill it artificially. No track object persists at the end of event. For the record of tracks, use trajectory class objects. G4TrackingManager manages processing a track, a track is represented by G4Track class. G4UserTrackingAction is the optional user hook. 52

53 Step in Geant4 Step has two points and also delta information of a particle (energy loss on the step, time-of-flight spent by the step, etc.). Each point knows the volume (and material). In case a step is limited by a volume boundary, the end point physically stands on the boundary, and it logically belongs to the next volume. Because one step knows materials of two volumes, boundary processes such as transition radiation or refraction could be simulated. G4SteppingManager class manages processing a step, a step is represented by G4Step class. G4UserSteppingAction is the optional user hook. Boundary Step Pre-step point Post-step point 53

54 Particle in Geant4 A particle in Geant4 is represented G4Track by three levels of classes Position, geometrical information, etc. This is a class representing a particle to be tracked. G4DynamicParticle Dynamic physical properties of a particle, such as momentum, energy, spin, etc. Each G4Track object has its own and unique G4DynamicParticle object. This is a class representing an individual particle. G4ParticleDefinition Static properties of a particle, such as charge, mass, life time, decay channels, etc. G4ProcessManager which describes processes involving to the particle All G4DynamicParticle objects of same kind of particle share the same G4ParticleDefinition. List of particle properties such as Catagories 54

55 Tracking & Processes Geant4 Tracking is general It is independent to the particle type the physics processes assigned to a particle It gives the chance to all processes to contribute to determining the step length contribute any possible changes in physical quantities of the track generate secondary particles suggest changes in the state of the track (e.g. to suspend, postpone or kill it) Processes; Particle transportation is a process as well; the particle interacts with geometrical volume boundaries and field of any kind Each particle has its own list of applicable processes. At each step, all processes listed are invoked to get proposed physical interaction lengths The process which requires the shortest interaction length (in space-time) is the one that occurs. Each process has one or combination of the following natures. AtRest (e.g. muon decay at rest) AlongStep (continuous process, e.g. Celenkov process) PostStep (discrete process, e.g. decay on the fly) 55

56 Track Status At the end of each step, according to the processes involved, the state of a track may be changed. The user can also change the status in UserSteppingAction. Statuses shown in green are artificial, i.e. Geant4 kernel won t set them, but the user can set. falive Continue the tracking. fstopbutalive The track has come to zero kinetic energy, but still AtRest process to occur. fstopandkill The track has lost its identity because it has decayed, interacted or gone beyond the world boundary. Secondaries will be pushed to the stack. fkilltrackandsecondaries Kill the current track and also associated secondaries. fsuspend Suspend processing of the current track and push it and its secondaries to the stack. fpostponetonextevent Postpone processing of the current track to the next event. Secondaries are still being processed within the current event. 56

57 Step Status Step status is attached to G4StepPoint to indicate why that particular step was determined. Use PostStepPoint to get the status of this step. PreStepPoint has the status of the previous step. Step fworldboundary PostStepPoint PreStepPoint Step reached the world boundary fgeomboundary Step is limited by a volume boundary except the world fatrestdoitproc, falongstepdoitproc, fpoststepdoitproc Step is limited by a AtRest, AlongStep or PostStep process fuserdefinedlimit Step is limited by the user Step limit fexclusivelyforcedproc Step is limited by an exclusively forced (e.g. shower parameterization) process fundefined Step not defined yet If you want to identify the first step in a volume, pick fgeomboudary status in PreStepPoint. If you want to identify a step getting out of a volume, pick fgeomboundary status in PostStepPoint 57

58 Extract Information There are two ways: Use user hooks (G4UserTrackingAction, G4UserSteppingAction, etc.) You have an access to almost all information Straight-forward, but do-it-yourself Use Geant4 scoring functionality Assign G4VSensitiveDetector to a volume Hits collection is automatically stored in G4Event object, and automatically accumulated if user-defined Run object is used. Use user hooks (G4UserEventAction, G4UserRunAction) to get event / run summary G4cout and G4cerr are ostream objects defined by Geant4. G4endl is also provided. G4cout << Hello Geant4! << G4endl; for Units: Each hard-coded number must be multiplied by its proper unit radius = 10.0 * cm; kinetice = 1.0 * GeV; To get a number, it must be divided by a proper unit G4cout << edep / MeV << [MeV] << G4endl; 58

59 What You Have To... Geant4 is a toolkit. You have to build an application. To make an application, you have to: Define your geometrical setup Material, volume Define physics to get involved Particles, physics processes/models Production thresholds Define how an event starts Primary track generation Extract information useful to you You may also want to Visualize geometry, trajectories and physics output Utilize (Graphical) User Interface Define your own UI commands etc. 59

60 User Classes main() Geant4 does not provide main(). Initialization classes Use G4RunManager::SetUserInitialization() to define. Invoked at the initialization G4VUserDetectorConstruction G4VUserPhysicsList Action classes Use G4RunManager::SetUserAction() to define. Invoked during an event loop G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction G4UserRunAction G4UserEventAction G4UserStackingAction Note: classes written in green are mandotory G4UserTrackingAction G4UserSteppingAction In your main() set mandatory classes to RunManager VisManager, G(UI) session, optional user action classes, persistency manager 60

61 Describe Detector Derive your own concrete class from G4VUserDetectorConstruction abstract base class. In the virtual method Construct(), Instantiate all necessary materials Instantiate volumes of your detector geometry Instantiate your sensitive detector classes and set them to the corresponding logical volumes Optionally you can define Regions for any part of your detector Visualization attributes (color, visibility, etc.) of your detector elements 61

62 Geometry Three conceptual layers Basic strategy; G4VSolid shape, size G4VSolid* pboxsolid = new G4Box( aboxsolid, 1.*m, 2.*m, 3.*m); G4LogicalVolume* pboxlog = new G4LogicalVolume( pboxsolid, pboxmaterial, aboxlog, 0, 0, 0); G4VPhysicalVolume* aboxphys = new G4PVPlacement( protation, G4ThreeVector(posX, posy, posz), pboxlog, aboxphys, pmotherlog, 0, copyno); G4LogicalVolume daughter physical volumes, material, sensitivity, user limits, etc. G4VPhysicalVolume position, rotation G4VSolid G4Box G4Tubs G4LogicalVolume G4Material G4VPhysicalVolume G4VisAttributes G4PVPlacement G4VSensitiveDetector G4PVParameterised 62

63 Geometry (Solid Volumes) CSG (Constructed Solid Geometries) G4Tubs(const G4String &pname, // name G4double prmin, // inner radius G4double prmax, // outer radius G4double pdz, G4Box(const G4String &pname, // name G4double half_x, // X half size G4double half_y, // Y half size G4double half_z); // Z half size G4Cons G4Trd // Z half length G4double psphi, // starting Phi G4double pdphi); angle G4Trap // segment G4Para (parallelepiped) G4Sphere 63

64 Geometry (Solid Volumes) Solids can be combined using boolean operations: G4UnionSolid, G4SubtractionSolid, G4IntersectionSolid Requires:2 solids, 1 boolean operation, and an (optional) transformation for the 2nd solid 2nd solid is positioned relative to the coordinate system of the 1st solid Result of boolean operation becomes a solid. Thus the third solid can be combined to the resulting solid of first operation. Solids to be combined can be either CSG or other Boolean solids. Note: tracking cost for the navigation in a complex Boolean solid is proportional to the number of constituent CSG solids G4UnionSolid G4SubtractionSolid G4IntersectionSolid 64

65 Geometry (Logical Volume) G4LogicalVolume(G4VSolid *psolid, G4Material *pmaterial, const G4String &name, G4FieldManager *pfieldmgr=0, G4VSensitiveDetector *psdetector=0, G4UserLimits *pulimits=0); Contains all information of volume except position and rotation Shape and dimension (G4VSolid) Material, sensitivity, visualization attributes Position of daughter volumes Magnetic field, User limits, 65

66 Geometry (Physical Volumes) Placement volume : it is one positioned volume One physical volume object represents one real volume. Repeated volume : a volume placed many time One physical volume object represents any number of real volumes reduces use of memory placement Parameterised repetition with copy number Replica and Division simple repetition along one axis A mother volume can contain either many placement volumes or, one repeated volume repeated 66

69 Physics Geant4 does not have any default particles or processes. Even for the particle transportation, you have to define it explicitly. Derive your own concrete class from G4VUserPhysicsList abstract base class. Define all necessary particles Define all necessary processes and assign them to proper particles Define cut-off ranges applied to the world (and each region) Geant4 provides lots of utility classes/methods and examples. Process may consist of several models, cross-sections etc. with different energy ranges Gamma Compton scattering Pair production particle process 1 process 2 model 1 model 2 cross section set 1 cross section set 2 cross section set 3 69

70 Physics (Provided) EM physics Standard valid from up to ~ PeV Low-energy valid from 250 ev to ~ PeV (Livermore & Penelope) Optical photons DNA level models valid from 7 ev to ~ 100 MeV Weak physics decay of subatomic particles radioactive decay of nuclei Hadronic physics pure hadronic processes valid from 0 to ~100 TeV Muon and gamma nuclear valid from 10 MeV to ~TeV DNA level models Parameterized or fast simulation physics 70

71 Physics User physics lists: What you need to begin G4VUserPhysicsList for relatively simple physics lists Modular physics lists: A more sophisticated way to go G4VModularPhysicsList for detailed physics lists Reference physics lists ($G4INSTALL/source/physics/lists) Methods to implement class MyPhysicsList: public G4VUserPhysicsList { public: MyPhysicsList(); ~MyPhysicsList(); void ConstructParticle(); // choose the particles you need in your simulation void ConstructProcess(); // assign relevant physics processes for each particle void SetCuts(); // set the range cuts for secondary production }; And register physics list to Geant4 with this line in main program runmanager->setuserinitialization(new MyPhysicsList); 71

72 Production Cuts This threshold is a distance, not and energy The primary particles lose energy producing secondaries (electrons, gammas) This cut-off represents the range of secondaries. It does not mean that the track is killed at the corresponding energy A track is by default tracked down to zero kinetic energy Instead of saying "secondary production threshold distance" more convenient to simply say "cuts" Geant4 has a default value of 1mm But users need to set their cut value depending on their precision needs and CPU performances The cut value is set with the SetCuts() method in the PhysicsList class file It makes poor sense to use the energy cut-off Range of 10 kev gamma in Si ~ a few cm Range of 10 kev electron in Si ~ a few micron 72

73 Generate Primary Derive your concrete class from G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction abstract base class Pass a G4Event object to one or more primary generator concrete class objects which generate primary vertices and primary particles Geant4 provides several generators in addition to the G4VPrimaryParticlegenerator base class G4ParticleGun G4HEPEvtInterface, G4HepMCInterface Interface to /hepevt/ common block or HepMC class G4GeneralParticleSource (GPS) Define radioactivity 73
