GEANT4 calculation in syed_compton:
Lorentz boost
Notes on Syed's GEANT4 project for Laser Compton Scattering at the IAC
2/7/08
Step 1: Configure Event generator in which electron parameters can be changes. Move the source left and right of the center. Change is momentum direction; going left and going right.
Step 2: comment out electron and add gamma. get it to move in the same way.
Step 3: turn them both on
Step 4: if fail then find references on event Generator with 2 intersecting beams, perhaps ILC, LHC or BaBar has one.
2/14/08
Problem last week was due to editing the wrong file.
We now have a event generator which starts an electron and a photon moving toward eachother.
We see and event when the photon energy is 500 keV and only the compton process is turned on.
Next step:
1.) edit the Stepping Verbose so only a Compton event is printed out
2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)
output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.
3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV
4.) Insert new physics process for Low Energy Compton
2/28/08
1.) edit the Stepping Verbose so only a Compton event is printed out (done)
2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)
output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.
3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV
4.) Insert new physics process for Low Energy Compton (done)
Still need to do 2 &3.
Compare hand calculation of an event or two with GEANT4 output
3/6/08
Goals for last week
1.) Compare hand calculation of an event or two with GEANT4 output
2.) add an event counter so we know how many beam triggers are done to get the event( edit SteppingVerbose.h, add a global variable to the class definition)
output : event number, Photon position, Electron position, Photon and Electron initial and final momentum.
3.) Compare output with BDSIM at 500 keV (BDSIM crashes at this high energy)
Tasks for next week:
1.) How many GEANT4 triggers does it take to get an event when E-gamma = 30 eV
Zero/10^7. However, if I set the E-gamma=300 eV then I see 1819 triggers out of 10 million iterations.
2.) remove detector which blocks reactions for 0<Z<200
[box]Commented out Sensitive Detector function in DetectorConstruction.cc. I still see the SD in display[/box]
3.) Store tracking info for photon and electron into variables for printing out
[box]Show the text file for 300 eV laser and 20 MeV electron[/box]
4.) Compare BDSIM and GEANT4 for E-gamma = 300 or 30 eV
[box]BDSIM crashes at 300 eV[/box]
5.) Any measured X-sections for 2 eV Compton?
[box]Was not able to find on internet. BDSIM however, uses GEANT4 database...We might need to dig into their code, I got the source code[/box]
3/13/08
Tasks:
1.) fix output file so electons and photon from same event on same line

2.) After SyedCompton runs, change it so the final electron kinetic energy is calculated correctly.
Final Electron KE is approx. equals to 20MeV in this case because energy lost by incoming electrons is so small following Compton interaction as shown in above plots ...suggestions???

1.) Try HeP Lorentz vector class and set vectors within the SyedCompton routine
HepLorentzVector P4eLab
P4eLab.setPx(HepDouble);
5/1/08
Got the class
G4LorentzVector* P4eLab;
defined in SyedLowEnergyCompton.hh
Then created the variable
P4eLab = new G4LorentzVector;
P4eLab->setPx(1.4596);
G4cout << "P4e Px= " << P4eLab << G4endl;
in SyedLowEnergyCompton.cc
1.) Check the functionality of the function calls below to see if we understand how they work
P4eLab->setPx(1.4596); cout << "P4e " << P4eLab << endl;
cout << "rest 4 Vector" << P4eLab.rest4Vector() << endl;---->"These functions are not declared!" cout << "rest 4 Vector" << P4eLab.rest4Vector().beta << endl;---->"These functions are not declared!"
2.) Look up relativistic Lorentz transformation to boost to electron rest frame. A fair start is at
http://www.iac.isu.edu/mediawiki/index.php/Forest_Relativity_Notes#Lorentz_Transformations
3.) check out reference
A.A. Sokolov and I.M. Ternov Sov. Phys. Dokl. 8 (1964), p. 1203.
may lead to a reference for our problem.
4.) Install GEANT4 on Brems
*done* but with graphics option was disabled, there are issues with OpenGL on brems and I was not able to compile MesaGL in my local folder
5.) create 2 sets of 24 random number seed files. The first set of 24 random number seed files will run for 2 hours and the second set will run for 24 hours.

1.) using interactive version of LCS test the transformations below
We have proton and electron. In the Lab frame electron is moving along the x-axis with momentum ;
- Lab Frame
- CM Frame
- :
- Find
Using the last two equations we will get the following for x component:
- Example
- : electron mass is neglibible
- : Mass of a proton
- Electron
- In our case 4-vectors for particles are
Compiling on brems
1.) turned off a GUI and G3toG4 stuff
2.) edited $G4INSTALL/config/binmake.gmk and commmented out the VIS variables and include commands
3.) comment out interactive commands in LCS.cc so only batch mode would run
we are compiled now.
Practice submitting batch jobs via ssh command and the random number seed files.
Submitting batch jobs on brems
Concept: While logged into brems you can submit a job to run on bres 3 by using the ssh command via
ssh brems3 source run0.script
the script "run0.script"
contains all the command you would type interactively in order to execute the program

1.) Use B= 0.975 to transform photon to electrons rest frame inside the event generator
for a few events check
before and after
// muon momenta in the primary's rest frame CLHEP::HepLorentzVector pMu1 ( p0x, p0y, p0z, p00 ); CLHEP::HepLorentzVector pMu2 ( -p0x, -p0y, -p0z, p00 );
// muon momenta in the boosted frame CLHEP::HepLorentzVector boostedPMu1 = pMu1.boostZ ( beta ); CLHEP::HepLorentzVector boostedPMu2 = pMu2.boostZ ( beta );
Declared the following in the event generator: //declaring G4LorentzVector for both electrons and gammas G4double beta = 0.975; p4eLab = new G4LorentzVector; p4gammaLab = new G4LorentzVector;
p4gammaBoostedx = new G4LorentzVector; p4gammaBoostedy = new G4LorentzVector; p4gammaBoostedz = new G4LorentzVector;
p4eBoostedx = new G4LorentzVector; p4eBoostedy = new G4LorentzVector; p4eBoostedz = new G4LorentzVector;
However, I'm stuck with in getting momentum values in the lab frame for both electrons and gammas...G4ParticleDefinition doesn't include "getMomentum" function and we need momentums in the lab frame that could be passed in the above declared variables?-- Daq 09:28, 3 October 2008 (MDT)
Update: "ExN02EventAction" class is getting momentum values of the existing event, I declared above variables in EventAction class. // get information on primary particle
G4PrimaryParticle* primary=evt->GetPrimaryVertex(0)->GetPrimary(0);
//Added by Syed p4eLab(primary->GetMomentum().x(),primary->GetMomentum().y(),primary->GetMomentum().z(), primary->GetEnergy());
p4eBoostedx = p4eLab.boostX(beta); p4eBoostedy = p4eLab.boostY(beta); p4eBoostedz = p4eLab.boostZ(beta); Now, the question is where to LorentzBoost gammas? --Daq 13:26, 3 October 2008 (MDT)
2.) Now take tracking verbose output and by a hand calculation transform the outgoing photon
to the lab frame
3.) Check EventAction to see if the photon momentum and energy are being passed

A 522 nm wavelength photon is
Why does GEANT4 and BDSIM give a max compton
of 7 keV when using an input photon energy of 2.18 eV instead of 14 keV as predicted by the above formula. A factor of 2 difference exits!
Now that we have source code for a compton scattering process, lets compare its output to some observables.
1.) Check if the
dependence is shown by the simulationDone; see above plots
usefull root command:
LCS->makeCode();
or
LCS->MakeClass();
2.) Plot the scattered electron kinetic energy distribution and compare it with predictions from the Klein Nishina formula.
E_min is 20 MeV for electrons and the code(DiffEKleinNishina.c) is computing E_max for incoming gammas which in LCS case is much smaller, i.e, 2.326 eV! The code will not go through the for loop. Even following the LorentzBoost, E_min=0.511 MeV for electrons and E_gamma=183 eV, the code will not compute DiffEXSect for electrons so today lets talk about working on DiffEKleinNishina.c?
Geant4 "lowEnCompton" | :266nm (for 532 nm laser), =20 MeVGeant4 "lowEnCompton" | :532nm (for 1064nm laser), =20 MeV

3.) Save random number for Comptom event.
Done
4.) Write Kelin Nishina cross section formula in your Compton scattering physics process.

insert picture of compton event with coordinate system drawn.
1.) E gamma is delta function instead of distribution (conservation of E & P) : Check if outputting correct values from GEANT.

1.) alter power law fit plot so data has error bars and symbols, fit has thick solid black line. Legend describes symbols. Rebin plot in 1 keV wide energy bins
2.) work on the three sections shown in the paper part of the wiki
3.) do a simulation with power law alpha = 10.5, increase alpha again until drop off in simulation is like drop off in data
4.) save random number seed for a compton event so we can look at one easily
The run manager is deleting itself after specified runs?
5.) insert equations from E_gamma and Lorentz boosts into paper theory section

I showed my plots to Khalid and he said that there is an electron energy spread of <1%. The tail in LCS spectra was due to the deviation of incoming electrons w.r.t laser. He further said that Geant4 is good only for head-on collisions and the Lorentz Boost is different for angular deviations, which Geant4 doesn't cover. Do we need to dig into LorentzBoost class or should I start working on X-rays for XRF purposes since we know how experimental LCS X-rays look like, I think the agenda I would like to discuss with you this Friday!
Since GEANT4 is open source we can fix problems. You know GPS can change the angle and you installed the Lorentz transformation. All we need to do is be sure that you transform correctly.
How much energy spread gives you the tail in above X-ray distributions?
Let's print out an off axis (non head-on) collision event from GEANT4 and see if Khalid agrees with the kinematic calculation Commented by Syed: Thanks for the response Dr. Forest. Let me run simulations, by changing angles w.r.t some constant number of events, to discuss the results tomorrow and probably let's have a meeting altogether with Khalid to be on the same page.
Enclosed are some of the plots considering the case of 32.5 MeV electrons with 1% energy spread and 532nm laser.
