ClusterdEdX

Geant4-based simulation tool designed to simulate the passage of charged particles through a hydrocarbon block. It supports various particle sources and provides configurable options for event generation, tracking, and visualization.

Features

• Supports multiple particle sources: D, T, alpha, proton, He3
• Customizable number of events and kinetic energy
• Configurable material density and tracking levels
• Optional continuation of previous simulations
• Visualization and session control support

Build Instructions

To compile the project, simply run:

./build.sh

Configuration

Simulation setup is controlled through the MuModel.conf file. Below is a breakdown of the available parameters:

Sources

# Particle source types:
# 1 - D
# 2 - T
# 3 - alpha
# 4 - proton
# 5 - He3
source=1

Simulation Parameters

# Number of events to simulate
events=100

# Continue from a previous run? (0 = no, 1 = yes)
continue=0

# Kinetic energy of source particles (in GeV)
energy=1

Material Properties

# Density of the CH block:
# 1.06 - sFGD
# 1.03 - pvt
density=1.06

Tracking Options

# Tracking output levels:
# 0 - none
# 1 to 5 - increasing levels of detail
tracking=0

Visualization

# Visualization toggle:
# 0 - none
# 1 - enabled
visual=0

# Visualization interface options:
# OGL, OGLIX, OGLSX, OGLIXm, OGLSXm, RayTracerX
interface=OGL

User Session Mode

# User session mode:
# 0 - none
# 1 - standard session
session=0
