== Saving/restoring Random number seed==
  
−
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
+
You save the current state of the random number generator with the command
  
−
But if you cool the silicon detector to 200 degrees Kelvin (200 K) then
+
/random/setSavingFlag 1
  
−
<math>P(E=1 eV) = e^{-1/0.0172} \approx 10^{-26}  10^{-17}<< </math>
+
/run/beamOn 100
  
−
So cooling your detector will slow the atoms down making it more noticable when one of the atoms absorbs energy.
+
/random/saveThisRun
  
−
also, if the radiation flux is large, more electron-hole pairs are created and you get a more noticeable signal.
+
A file is created called
  
−
Unfortunately, with some detectore, like silicon, you can cause radiation damage that diminishes it quantum efficiency for absorbing energy.

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

for example
