Radioactive Particle Tracking NaI1 - GEANT4

This simulation just has 1 NaI detector and aims to understand the sensitivity of radiation detectors.

Done by: Sebastián Sarasti Zambonino

This application and research was founded by PIGR-19-09 project for the Nuclear Science Department in the Escuela Politécnica Nacional, Quito-Ecuador.

Features

The simulation has own macrocommands to change NaI detector positions.

• /NaI/detector1/ for detector 1

The units of the macrocommands are in centimetters, but you can change that in detectormessenger class.

Details of the application:

The simulation connects several classes to work properly:

• Detector construction class: there is defined the materials and volumes
• Physics list: there is defined the process the simulation will use and setcut range value (default)
• Primary generator: there is defined the method to generate particles, in this application was used general particle source to be user-friendly
• Run Action: generates a graph per run and save it like root file
• Event Action: plot the result of energy deposited per event
• Stepping Action: get the energy deposited of each step in the target volumes
• Messengers: this class is to generate own user macrocommands

Installation

Copy the repository in your Linux operative system. Then create a folder where you are going to compile the application (build folder).

To compile

cd build
cmake ..
make -j (number of threads of your PC)

To execute without bash mode

./naidetector 

To execute in bash mode

./naidetector  macrocommand.mac
