Hi,
is there a way to get all the info on a particle, step by step at simulation time, when using TGeant4? I need to follow the particle, with process, position, energy loss. I managed to get them with TGeant3 (with the function Gpcxyz()), and I got these lines:

 **** GTRIGI: IEVENT=      1 IDEVT=      1 Random Seeds =       4357           0

That' s what I need, but I don' t know how to do it with TGeant4. Maybe there is some function in VMC, but I couldn' t find it.
Does anyone know how can I do?
Thank you in advance!
Lia.

Hi Lia,
yes it is, you should go to gconfig
at gconfig.in
and uncomment the line
#/tracking/verbose 1

I hope it works.
I was checking my code with this flag
some time ago.

cheers ALicia.

Hi Lia,

how did you manage to use Gpcxyz() from TGeant3 class? There is no such class in ROOT 5.26 which is now in current external packages.
As far as i know it was there up to version 5.14. Do you use the old externals? Or I don't understand something here?

Thanks in advance.

Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,
the function Gpcxyz() is in the geant3 package, the complete path to find it in the external packages is: transport/geant3/TGeant3.h
and in TGeant.cxx you see it just calls the corresponding fortran routine in geant3/gtrak/gpcxyz.F.
Cheers,
Lia.
