Final Project

A final project will be submitted that will be graded with the following metrics:

1.) The document must be less than 15 pages.

2.) The document must contain references in a bibliography (5 points) .

3.) A comparison must be made between GEANT4's prediction and either the prediction of someone else or an experimental result(30 points).

4.) The graphs must be of publication quality with font sizes similar or larger than the 12 point font (10 points).

5.) The document must be grammatically correct (5 points).

6.) The document format must contain the following sections: An abstract of 5 sentences (5 points) , an Introduction(10 points), a Theory section (20 points) , if applicable a section describing the experiment that was simulated, a section delineating the comparisons that were made, and a conclusion( 15 points).

Saving/restoring Random number seed

You save the current state of the random number generator with the command

/random/setSavingFlag 1

/run/beamOn 100

/random/saveThisRun

A file is created called

currentEvent.rndm

/control/shell mv currentEvent.rndm currentEvent10.rndm


You can restore the random number generator and begin generating random number from the last save time

/random/resetEngineFrom currentEvent.rndm

Compiling G4 with ROOT

These instruction describe how you can create a tree within ExN02SteppingVerbose to store tracking info in an array (max number of steps in a track is set to 100 for the desired particle)

Using SLURM

simple batch script for one process job

create the file submit.sbatch below

#!/bin/sh
#SBATCH --time=1
cd src/PI
./PI_MC 100000000000000

the execute

sbatch submit.sbatch

check if its running with

squeue

to kill a batch job

scancel JOBID

On minerve

Sample script to submit 10 batch jobs.

the filename is minervesubmit and you run like

source minervesubmit
cd /home/foretony/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/Simulations/N02wROOT/batch
qsub submit10mil
qsub submit20mil
qsub submit30mil
qsub submit40mil
qsub submit50mil
qsub submit60mil
qsub submit70mil
qsub submit80mil
qsub submit90mil
qsub submit100mil

The file submit10mil looks like this

#!/bin/sh
#PBS -l nodes=1
#PBS -A FIAC
#PBS -M foretony@isu.edu
#PBS -m abe
#
source /home/foretony/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/geant4.9.6-install/bin/geant4.sh
cd /home/foretony/src/GEANT4/geant4.9.5/Simulations/N02wROOT/batch/10mil
../../exampleN02 run1.mac > /dev/null 


use

qstat

to check that the process is still running

use

qdel jobID#

if you want to kill the batch job, the jobID number shows up when you do stat.

for example

[foretony@minerve HW10]$ qstat
Job id                    Name             User            Time Use S Queue
------------------------- ---------------- --------------- -------- - -----
27033.minerve             submit           foretony        00:41:55 R default        
[foretony@minerve HW10]$ qdel 27033
[foretony@minerve HW10]$ qstat
