The ability to simulate nature using a computer has become a useful skill for physicists who work in disciplines ranging from basic research to video games.  This class will teach you these fundamentals using a practical approach, based on a specific UNIX based programming environment, to simulate fundamental physics processes ranging from ionization and the photoelectric effect to producing anti-matter.

===Homework===
 
−
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the assigned day. If you have a documented excuse for your absence, then you will have 24 hours to hand in the homework after released by your doctor.

: Simulations of Particle Interactions with Matter 3 credits. Lecture course with monte-carlo computation requirements. Topics include: Stopping power, interactions of electrons and photons with matter, hadronic interactions, and radiation detection devices.

;Course Description
 
−
: A practical course applying theoretical descriptions of fundamental particle interactions such as the photoelectric effect, compton scattering and pair production to describe multiple interactions of particles with matter using the montecarlo method. A software package known as [http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/ GEANT from CERN] will be used that is freely available under the UNIX environment. The course assumes that the student has very limited experience with the UNIX environment and no experience with GEANT. Homework problems involve modifying and compiling example programs written in C++. A final project is required in which the student chooses a process to compare the predictions of GEANT with experimental data. A report is written in a format that would be publishable in a scientific journal. Publishing the report is not required but left as an option for the student.

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

Sample script to submit 10 batch jobs.

the filename is minervesubmit and you run like

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
