Precalibrated Ion Beam Identification Detector Simulation Documentation

Introduction

The Precalibrated Ion Beam Identification Detector Simulation software has the purpose of simulating a proposed detector design. It is written in Geant4. We would like to thank the authors of Geant4 and particularly the authors of the ExampleN03, which have been of great help in producing the software provided here.

Installation

In order to use the PIBIDS software, you need to have a correctly installed and configured copy of Geant4 on your computer. When you have that you can simply download and compile the software from here.

Compiling

Compiling should be no problem, just use the makefile provided. This makefile however contains some targets used for deploying it on some of Chalmers's remote servers. Just ignore these targets, and use the standard G4make and G4run commands.

Technical Details

The physics list QGSP_BERT was used. QGSP_BERT takes decay physics into account and uses the Bertini cascade model to compute spread of primary protons, neutrons, pions and kaons with energies below 10 GeV, which according to Geant4:s reference webpage should give simulations in good accordance with measured data at these energies.
