When I run a NeuLAND simulation, in about 5% of the cases, The primary neutron
has an interaction with NeuLAND or with the air without changing its track number.
In this case I only have the starting point of the track available in the MCTrack branch
of the cbmsim-tree, which is the particle gun.
However, I would like to also have the information of the MCTrack branch available
on these interactions.
So is there a way to make R3BRoot not save the MCTrack branch only when a new track is created,
but also when an existing track changes its direction?
Thanks in advance!
Christiaan Douma.

Dear Mr. Kresan,
does Geant3 perform a change of trackID every time?
I understand that the change of trackID on every interaction would be a performance kill.
Nevertheless I would like to know if it is possible and how (for example with changes of flags, etc).
Then at least I can choose every time I run a simulation whether I think the
additional information is required or not.
I do not understand your possible solution to set the air as an active volume.
Inside NeuLAND it also happens that there are multiple interactions without
change of trackID. And LandPoint does not offer information about the X, Y, Z
of these interactions, only about the entering and leaving of the track. If only
X, Y, Z of the tracks leaving the cave are stored, how does this help me
in getting the X, Y, Z of every interaction (which is what I like to have)?
Yours sincerely,
Christiaan Douma.

No, by default it does not.

I do not know which flags or similar need to be set for this. You can try to look it in the Geant / VMC documentation.

If you define cave as an active volume, you will get access to stepping of particles, where you can access the information. You will need additional "detector" class for that.

LandPoint has to offer exactly what it offers. Transport is meant for the simulation of detector response, and not for tracking of everything everywhere. You have to think about indirect ways to obtain information you need.
Best regards,

Dear Mr. Kresan,
Thank you for this information. I will first try to find
something in the Geant / VMC documentation.
Christiaan.
