TUNL GEANT4 Tutorial course for beginners at TUNL

Hands-on 2 -- Material and Geometry Definitions

Material and Geometry

There is a nice exercise on material and geometry used at many GEANT4 Tutorial courses, so it would be a good idea for us to do this (link is given below). But please read the followings before you start this exercise.

  • Although it says you need to download Handson2.tgz file, it's probably easier to copy it from my directory to your ~/geant4 dir using the following commands:

       $   cd ~/geant4
       $   cp ~tajima/geant4/HandsOn2.tgz .

       To unpack it, do the following:

       $   tar xvfz HandsOn2.tgz

  • You will need to run HepRApp.jar program. There are two ways to run it at TUNL. You can run it directly using the following command:

       $   java -jar ~tajima/HepRApp.jar G4Data0.heprep

    Alternatively, you can copy ~tajima/HepRApp.jar into your directory and run it.
