The application is built to simulate the RPT along opaque ducts. The quantities recorded are energy deposition spectra and doses (TOF is developing).
Copy the repository in your Linux operative system. Then create a folder where you are going to compile the application (build folder).
To compile
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j (number of threads of your PC)To execute without bash mode
./naidetector To execute in bash mode
./naidetector macrocommand.macThis macrocommand let the user change the position of the detector. It is available for each detector, just change the number of the detector.
/NaI/detector1/dim **value**| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
X, Y, and Z |
Float |
Example: -10 -10 -20 cm |
The use can select the angle of rotation for each detector following the next macrocommand:
/NaI/detector1/ang **value**| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
0-360 deg |
Float |
Example: 90 deg |
In addition, the user can select the axes for the rotation. rotX for X, rotY for Y, and rotZ for Z.
/NaI/detector1/rotX **value**| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
true or false |
Bool |
Example: true |
The user can choose between a cylindrical or box pipe. The geometry choosen needs to be activaed first, and the set the dimensions. The input dimensions are the half in each axes, respectively.
For box pipes:
/pipe/box/activate true
/pipe/box/dim **value**| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
X, Y, and Z |
Float |
Example: -10 -10 -20 cm |
For cylindrical pipes:
/pipe/cyl/activate true
/pipe/cyl/dim **value**You have to thickness, radious and the half of the length values in cm.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
thickness, radious, and half of length |
Float |
Example: -10 -10 -20 cm |
The default units of the macrocommands for geometry changes are all in centimetters, but you can change that in detectormessenger class.
Takes two numbers and returns the sum.
MULTI-THREAD MODE: If you would like to see geometry changes done through macrocommands, you must turn off the initialization in main function, and the number threads do too. You have to set the number of threads and initilizate the run manager in your macrocommands. If you want to change the geometry through macrocommands provided follow the next steps:
./naidetector
/NaI/detector1/dimensions -40 10 0 cm
/NaI/detector1/angle 90 deg
{run whatever order that you want}
/run/numberOfThreads 6
/run/initialize
{run your primary generator specifications}
/run/beamOn 10If you see any errors in red color (The scene has no extent), it is because the run manager is not initializated until you run the last code, so vis.mac fails. You have to ignored them
SINGLE-THREAD MODE: If you would like to see geometry changes done through macrocommands, you can set the number of threads and initilizate the run manager in the main function. To see the changes execute follow the next steps:
./naidetector
/NaI/detector1/dimensions -40 10 0 cm
/NaI/detector1/angle 90 deg
/run/reinitializeGeometry
{run whatever order that you want}
{run your primary generator specifications}
