wcd

WCD Simulation

How to Run

1. Compile the code, from build directory:

cmake -DGeant4_DIR=/path/geant4.10.3-install/lib/Geant4-10.3.0/ path-code
make -jN // Where N number of cores

2. Edit input.in file:

   • /spectrum/readfile "file name" > ARTI .shw.bz2 file containing the secondaries at ground.

   • /spectrum/iniposZ "X cm" > Start position at Z from which secondaries will propagate. This value can not be more than 45 m.

   • /spectrum/radArea "X m" > The circumference radius where secondaries will be distribute. This value can not be more than 45 m.

   • /detect/radio > WCD radius.

   • /detect/hight > WCD height. This value can not be more than 4.5 m

   • /outroot/outname > Set the name for the Root output filie.

   • /run/beamOn "X" > Number of secondaries to propagate.

   If you need values bigger than 45 m or 4.5 cm please contact us

3. Execute:

./wcd -m input.in > run.log 

4. Remember, the data is saved in the .root file histosOutput.root.

How to read histosOutput.root

1. Check the histograms names from TBrowser.

2. Go to directory readOutRootFile

3. Open main.cxx and change the histo name according to the information that you desire. Be carefull with the number of bins for histogram, check in the TBrowser.

4. Then, compile and excecute:

make clean
make
./mainExe histosOutput.root > out.dat

6. Plotting.
