15 | Simulation | |
16 | </h1> | |
17 | The simulation is done in two steps, one which describes the detector geometry | |
18 | and material and one which does the particle tracking and stores the hits | |
e126816e | 19 | and digits in a <a href="http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TTree.html">TTree</a> itself written on a disk file. These two steps are |
c2583e52 | 20 | steered through the Config.C file(<a href="PHOSConfig_Central.C">example</a>), |
21 | a root macro launched at the AliRoot prompt. To customize this file you must: | |
22 | <br><br> | |
23 | <ol> | |
24 | <li> | |
25 | select a file name for the root output: | |
e126816e | 26 | <pre class="code"> |
c2583e52 | 27 | //======================================================================= |
28 | // Create the output file | |
29 | sprintf(filename,"<b>myfilename</b>.root"); | |
30 | </pre> | |
31 | </li> | |
32 | <li> | |
33 | Define your event generator and simulations parameters: | |
e126816e | 34 | <pre class="code"> |
c2583e52 | 35 | AliGenCocktail *gener = new AliGenCocktail(); // Cocktail class |
36 | gener->SetPtRange(.02,10.00); // Transverse momentum range | |
37 | gener->SetPhiRange(180.,360.); // Azimuthal angle range | |
38 | gener->SetYRange(-0.25,0.25); // Pseudorapidity range | |
39 | gener->SetOrigin(0,0,0); // Vertex position | |
40 | gener->SetSigma(0,0,5.6); // Sigma in (X,Y,Z) (cm) on IP position | |
41 | gener->Init(); // Initialize the generator | |
42 | </pre> | |
43 | </li> | |
44 | <li> | |
45 | Select the detector seen by the tracking: | |
e126816e | 46 | <pre class="code"> |
c2583e52 | 47 | Int_t iPHOS=1; // PHOS is in |
48 | Int_t iPMD=0; // PMD is out | |
49 | </pre> | |
50 | </li> | |
51 | <li> | |
52 | Create a PHOS object (<b>GPS2</b> is so far the unique configuration option, see below): | |
e126816e | 53 | <pre class="code"> |
c2583e52 | 54 | if(iPHOS) { |
55 | //=================== PHOS parameters =========================== | |
56 | AliPHOS *PHOS = new AliPHOSv0("PHOS","<b>GPS2</b>"); | |
57 | </pre> | |
58 | </li> | |
59 | </ol> | |
60 | <p> | |
61 | You van now run the simulation by entering the following command at the aliroot prompt: | |
e126816e | 62 | <pre class="code"> |
c2583e52 | 63 | aliroot> gAlice->Run(1,"PHOSConfig_Central.C"); |

66 | Geometry | |
67 | </h1> | |
68 | <h4> | |
69 | Definition | |
70 | </h4> | |
71 | PHOS consists of two distinct parts. The calorimeter, named EMCA, consists | |
72 | of the PbW04 crystals within their housing. The crystals are assembled | |
73 | in <i>fNModules</i> modules of <i>fNPhi </i>rows along the x-axis direction | |
74 | and <i>fNZ</i> modules along the z-axis direction. Since the total number | |
75 | of crystals and their layout within ALICE is presently (11/11/1999) not | |
76 | final it was decided to fully parametrize the geometry. A change in any | |
77 | of the three previously defined parameters will provide automatically a | |
78 | new layout of the modules. | |
79 | <br>The second part of PHOS is the charged particle identifier. Since until | |
80 | end of 2000 no decision will be taken on the final design of this element | |
81 | two or more versions can be considered. Today (11/11/1999) only one version | |
82 | is implemented and is named PPSD for PHOS Pre-Shower Detector. It consists | |
83 | of a first layer of <i>fNumberOfModulesPhi</i> x <i>fNumberOfModulesZ </i>gas | |
84 | detectors per PHOS module, each detectors being subdivided into <i>fNumberOfPadsPhi</i> | |
85 | x <i>fNumberOfPadsZ </i>gas cells, a Lead converter and a second layer | |
86 | of gas detectors identical to the first layer. This second part is positionned | |
87 | on top of the EMCA module. | |
88 | <p> | |
e126816e | 89 | The class <a href="./html/AliPHOSv0.html"> AliPHOSv0 </a> ( <a href="./html/AliPHOSv0_Tree.ps"> inheritance tree </a>) |
c2583e52 | 90 | describes this geometry. We have defined also a class |
e126816e | 91 | <a href="./html/AliPHOSv1.html"> AliPHOSv1 </a> ( <a href="./html/AliPHOSv1_Tree.ps"> inheritance tree </a>) |
c2583e52 | 92 | which in addition contains the photodiode response and the light transport through the crystal. |
