Dear collegues,

Does anyone know how charged geantino with positive and negative charge can be introduced serarately in the simulation?

The CbmParticle doesn't exist and is replaced with FairParticle.
How can I put this FairParticle into Boxgenerator?

Someone suggests that I can use TParticlePDG via...
Quote:


Int_t pdg;
TDatabasePDG *db= TDatabasePDG::Instance();
TParticlePDG *p=0;
p=db->GetParticle("chargedGeant");
if(p) pdg = p->PdgCode();



But pdg is always equal to zero 0, and just points to rootino.
and doesn't contain any charge info with this method.

Do you have some experience for usage of charged/neutral geantino in pandaroot and can surely distinguish from rootino with certain method?

Have a nice day!

Best regards,
Donghee

Hi,

still no solution for this after so many years?!

Dear Promme,
The problem is not solved. If you are interested to solve it you could check in root and in TParticlePDG how it is defined, if it is defined. Or you could take a charged particle and disable all the physics lists, probably this should also do the job

Unfortunately I do not have the overview yet as root, pandaroot, Geant3 and Geant4 do have their own lists. That means that, as far as I can see it, creating a charged rootino is not mapped correctly to a Geantino in Geant4. Too many dependencies to figure it out on a short way. Let's see if I can find the time to figure it out by my self.

Cheers

This is the answer from Ivana about:

Quote:

Hi Stefano,

As Root has only Rootino and no ChargedRootino, both geantino and chargedgeantino are mapped to Rootino.
And Rootino should be mapped to geantino, but I have realized now that it is mapped by mistake to chargedgeantino.
So you can just define kRootino in your application and it will be interpreted as chargedgeantino.

But as this interpretation is not correct, after I will fix it in geant4_vmc, there will be no other way how to define it than to modify the mapping in the geant4_vmc code.
I can ask Root team if we can add ChargedRootino in Root PDG table and then map both particles properly.

Cheers,

Ivana

I have tried to search for this info but I was not able to find it, or maybe I should just take some charged particle and switch off all the interactions?

Hope this helps.

Dear Stephano and Promme, actually one can use
directly the class PndParticle and define the particle
with DefineParticle constructor as you like.

best regards
ALicia.

you mean as discussed in this thread but was not working there. I should give it a try.

http://forum.gsi.de/index.php?t=msg&th=1722&rid=1777&S=bf478 cf8209908f4f20869f569eb94ff#msg_5844

oh, nope, there you have proposed something else. Sorry I was wrong.

Hi again, Ok now it is called FairParticle at the fairbase/base directory,
the general constructor is


FairParticle( Int_t pdg , const TString name, TMCParticleType mcType, Double_t mass, Double_t charge,
Double_t lifetime, const TString pType="Ion", Double_t width=0, Int_t iSpin=0, Int_t iParity=0,
Int_t iConjugation=0, Int_t iIsospin=0, Int_t iIsospinZ=0, Int_t gParity=0, Int_t lepton=0,
Int_t baryon=0,Bool_t stable=kFALSE);


In your simulation macro (first approach),

you should define your particle (for example in my case it was a double hypernucleus)

FairParticle *B13LL = new FairParticle("B13LL", 5,13, 2,12.45659,5,kFALSE,0.200e-9);
fRun->AddNewParticle(B13LL);

you have to know what is the pdgcode assigned to your particle,
(so that you can generate it afterwards) by doing

Int_t B13LLPDG;
p= db->GetParticle("B13LL");
if(p) B13LLPDG=p->PdgCode();

cout<<B13LLPDG<<endl;

for the physical processes , const TString pType="Ion", you should see that you get something similar to the rootino/geantino family.
instead of "ion".

I hope it works

cheers
Alicia.
