A device detects a particle only after the particle transfers energy to the device.

Compiling G4 with ROOT

simple batch script for one process job

create the file submit.sbatch below 

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

check if its running with

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

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
