Endcap MC simulations: (*.fzd)
- login to one of the Linux RCAS machines (rcas60XX) at BNL
- create directory and link few files needed for GCALOR
stardev
mkdir aaa
cd aaa
ln -s $STAR/pams/sim/gphysdata/*.dat .
- run StAF program (simulation)
staf
The result is a .fzd file with GEANT response of the detector.
- an example macro
muon.kumac to process a particle
exe macros/muon nevents=10 file=mc gid=6 pt=20.0 eta=1.75 phi=4.711
here's the meaning of parameters
- nevents
- number of events to generate
- file
- output file name (.fzd)
- gid
- geant particle id (6 is muon)
- pt
- transverse particle momentum in GeV
- eta
- pseudorapidity of the particle
- phi
- azimuthal angle of the particle
so our macro generates 10 muons and writes the results to mc.fzd file
or
jpyt2.kumac to run PYTHIA event generator
- To test content of the .fzd file under StAF add to .kumac
trig 1
gprint hits
- test content of the .fzd file under root4star -->see example
Any comments or upgrades of the code are welcome.
