Hi All
I am having some weird issues (no that it is a problem just a inconvenience) with the units for geometry in the .geo files and in my root macros and event display.
I am finding that they are not the same units in both places. It looks like the geometry file needs 10 times scaled values.
for example, say that i create a box with the dimentions 10,10,10. in the .geo file and place it in the middle of my space. Now i create an electron with random angle and momentum but i give the starting vertex as 0,0,0. So when i get the FairDetectorPoint.GetPosition() of that object, it is off by a factor of 10. I have no idea why this is happening. I wanted to ask about this earlier actually.
Now for the questions on the FairDetectorPoint. I want to both the position_in (position the track enters the detector volume) and the position_out (position the track leaves or dies or exits the volume) to do digitization for that particular track.
So i changed my processes hit function and all the constructors of my detector so that they look like this:
Bool_t FairEmca::ProcessHits(FairVolume* vol)
{
/** This method is called from the MC stepping */
//Set parameters at entrance of volume. Reset ELoss.
if ( gMC->IsTrackEntering() ) {
fELoss = 0.;
fTime = gMC->TrackTime() * 1.0e09;
fLength = gMC->TrackLength();
//checking to see if it will record my end positin at exit as position
gMC->TrackPosition(fPos);
gMC->TrackMomentum(fMom);
}
// if (gMC->IsTrackExiting()) {
// gMC->TrackPosition(fPosOut);
// }
// Sum energy loss for all steps in the active volume
fELoss += gMC->Edep();
// Create FairEmcaPoint at exit of active volume
if ( gMC->IsTrackExiting() ||
gMC->IsTrackStop() ||
gMC->IsTrackDisappeared() ) {
gMC->TrackPosition(fPosOut);
fTrackID = gMC->GetStack()->GetCurrentTrackNumber();
fVolumeID = vol->getMCid();
//gMC->TrackPosition(fPos);
//if (fELoss == 0. ) { return kFALSE; }
AddHit(fTrackID, fVolumeID, TVector3(fPos.X (), fPos.Y(), fPos.Z()),
TVector3(fMom.Px(), fMom.Py(), fMom.Pz()), fTime, fLength,
fELoss, TVector3(fPosOut.X (),fPosOut.Y(),fPosOut.Z()));
// Increment number of FairEmca points in TParticle
FairStack* stack = (FairStack*) gMC->GetStack();
stack->AddPoint(kFairEmca);
}
return kTRUE;
}
FairEmcaPoint* FairEmca::AddHit(Int_t trackID, Int_t detID,
TVector3 pos, TVector3 mom,
Double_t time, Double_t length,
Double_t eLoss, TVector3 posOut)
{
TClonesArray& clref = *fFairEmcaPointCollection;
Int_t size = clref.GetEntriesFast();
return new(clref[size]) FairEmcaPoint(trackID, detID, pos, mom,
time, length, eLoss, posOut, pos.Mag(), pos.Phi(), pos.Theta());
}
// ----- Standard constructor
FairEmcaPoint::FairEmcaPoint(Int_t trackID, Int_t detID,
TVector3 pos, TVector3 mom,
Double_t tof, Double_t length, Double_t eLoss, TVector3 posOut, Double_t radius,
Double_t phi, Double_t theta)
: FairMCPoint(trackID, detID, pos, mom, tof, length, eLoss), fRadius(radius), fPhi(phi),fTheta(theta)
{ fXfOut = posOut.X ();
fYfOut = posOut.Y();
fZfOut = posOut.Z();
SetLink(FairLink("MCTrack", trackID));
}
Even after doing these changes, i am still getting 0,0,0 for the position_out which means that it is not taking any value. Is there something that i am missing to change or update in one of the classes.
I also have another question regarding
ClassDef(FairEmcaPoint,2)
i had it initially as 1 and root asked me to change it when i included position_out. Can anyone please tell me what does it mean, why is it 5 for some detectors in panda etc..
As always i appreciate the help a lot.
Cheers
Raghav
