Dear all,

I am wondering how one can handle MC true match for Geant4 case.
I am using TGeant4 and PndEvtGenDirect for evtgen generator.

If I turn off saving the event tree,
evtGen->SetStoreTree(kFALSE);
then simulation process works fine.

But If I turn on StoreTree to use MCtruth match later on for signal MC analysis,
evtGen->SetStoreTree(kTRUE);
then Geant4 cannot recognize this event tree due to different particle definition.

How can we avoid this problem?

We need a event tree to make a truth matching in analysis level.
It must to be saved!

Do you have any idea or solution for this problem?

This is an old and well known problem, and up to now I was not able to find a solution. Maybe there are some problems in our mcapplication, since the problem does not appear with g3, but up to know nothing was found. If you need to store the tree then you must use g3 for the moment.

Please try the following:

in your sim macro add the following lines after FairRunSim:

FairParticle *pbarp = new FairParticle(88888,"pbarpSystem",kPTUndefined,1.9,0,0);
fRun->AddNewParticle(pbarp);


You should see some warnings with G4, but the simulation does not crash. Most probably you need to do the same with your analysis macro.
Please tell me if it works and if the results are reasonable.

Hi Stefano,

I tried to add new particle via FairParticle.
Upto sim->dig->rec->pid it works fine with Geant4,
but I cannot see anything about 88888 in the MCtrack list.

Best wishes,
Donghee

It seems there are problems in our MC application for g4, Mohammad will take a look.
