Hi Mohammad

I followed it the way it was described in the panda detector case and when i run my macro, i am generating the branch RadLen and its corresponding leaves, but there is nothing inside them. They are all blank.
I tried to see what i am doing different from the panda example and i just cant make out the problem.


rad_complete_stt(Int_t nEvents = 1, TString SimEngine ="TGeant3", Float_t mom = 7.24)
{

//set the name of output file and etc...

//load libraries


Double_t BeamMomentum =15.0;

// ----- Create simulation run ----------------------------------------
FairRunSim* run = new FairRunSim();
run->SetName("TGeant3"); // Transport engine
// fRun->SetBeamMom(BeamMomentum);

// here it does not let me set the beam momentum even though it is defined in the class FairRunSim. Maybe thats the issue here. i am running a beam whit no momentum.

run->SetOutputFile(outFile); // Output file
FairRuntimeDb* rtdb = run->GetRuntimeDb();
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------


// ----- Create media -----------------------------------------------------

run->SetMaterials("media.geo");//materials
//---------------------------------------------------------------------- -

// ----- Tell the detector to calculate the radiation length -------------

run->SetRadLenRegister(kTRUE);

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

// ----- Runtime database ---------------------------------------------


Bool_t kParameterMerged = kTRUE;
FairParRootFileIo* parOut = new FairParRootFileIo(kParameterMerged);
// FairParAsciiFileIo* parOut = new FairParAsciiFileIo();
parOut->open(parFile.Data());
rtdb->setOutput(parOut);
rtdb->saveOutput();
rtdb->print();


//create geometry, modules and detectors.


// ----- Create PrimaryGenerator --------------------------------------
FairPrimaryGenerator* primGen = new FairPrimaryGenerator();
run->SetGenerator(primGen);

FairBoxGenerator* boxGen = new FairBoxGenerator(0, 10); // 13 = muon; 1 = multipl.
// the 0 here represents geantino.
boxGen->SetPtRange(mom,mom); // GeV/c
boxGen->SetPhiRange(0., 360.); // Azimuth angle range [degree]
boxGen->SetThetaRange(0., 0.); // Polar angle in lab system range [degree]
boxGen->SetXYZ(0., 0., 0.); // mm o cm ??
primGen->AddGenerator(boxGen);

// ----- Run initialisation -------------------------------------------

run->Init();

// ----- Start run ----------------------------------------------------

run->Run(nEvents);
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
run->CreateGeometryFile("data/geofile_rad_length.root");

// ----- Finish -------------------------------------------------------
timer.Stop();
Double_t rtime = timer.RealTime();
Double_t ctime = timer.CpuTime();
cout << endl << endl;
cout << "Macro finished succesfully." << endl;
cout << "Output file is " << outFile << endl;
cout << "Parameter file is " << parFile << endl;
cout << "Real time " << rtime << " s, CPU time " << ctime
<< "s" << endl << endl;
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------ end of file
}


The panda example is pretty much the same except geometry definitions, but there is something inside its RadLen folder. I just dont understand the mistake i am making here.
I have attached a picture of what my root file looks like and on the canvas you can see that there is nothing inside the leaf fradlen.

thanks a lot for all you help
Cheers
Raghav
