;Silicon detectors and Ionization chambers are two commonly used devices for detecting radiation.

approximately 1 eV of energy is all that you need to create an electron-ion pair in Silicon
 
−
 
 
−
<math>P(E=1 eV) = e^{-1/0.0258} \approx 10^{-17}</math>

approximately 10 eV of energy is needed to ionize an atom in a gas chamber
 
−

<math>P(E=10 eV) = e^{-10/0.0258} \approx 10^{-169}</math>
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
 
 
−
The low probability of having an atom with 10 eV of energy means that an ionization chamber would have a better Signal to Noise ratio (SNR) for detecting 10 eV radiation than a silicon detector
 
−
 
 
−
But if you cool the silicon detector to 200 degrees Kelvin (200 K) then
 
−
 
 
−
<math>P(E=1 eV) = e^{-1/0.0172} \approx 10^{-26} << 10^{-17}</math>
 
−
 
 
−
So cooling your detector will slow the atoms down making it more noticable when one of the atoms absorbs energy.
 
−
 
 
−
also, if the radiation flux is large, more electron-hole pairs are created and you get a more noticeable signal.
 
−
 
 
−
Unfortunately, with some detectore, like silicon, you can cause radiation damage that diminishes it's quantum efficiency for absorbing energy.

While the classical equation above works in a limited kinematic regime, the Bethe-Bloch equation includes the corrections needed to cover most kinematic regimes for heavy particle energy loss.

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)

G4CompileWRootforTracks

Using SLURM

http://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart.html


https://rc.fas.harvard.edu/resources/documentation/convenient-slurm-commands/

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
