Notes on Syed's GEANT4 project for Laser Compton Scattering at the IAC

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.

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

3.) Insert new physics process for Low Energy Compton
