Detailed Description

Monopole ionisation class.

A wrapper, rather than a concrete class. Different ionisation models can be plugged in.

Member Function Documentation

InitialiseEnergyLossProcess()

void InitialiseEnergyLossProcess ( const G4ParticleDefinition *  p, const G4ParticleDefinition *    )

overrideprotectedvirtual

G4VEnergyLossProcess::InitialiseEnergyLossProcess() implementation.

Initialise ionisation proccess, if not it has not been initialised yet.

Concrete ionisation model is called inside this function.

Parameters

p	Particle definition pointer, the monopole in our case

Definition at line 58 of file G4mplIonisation.cc.

{
  if (isInitialised) { return; }
 
  SetBaseParticle(0);
 
  // monopole model is responsible both for energy loss and fluctuations
 
  G4mplIonisationWithDeltaModel* ion =
    new G4mplIonisationWithDeltaModel(magneticCharge, "PAI");
 
  ion->SetParticle(p);
 
  // define size of dedx and range tables
  G4EmParameters* param = G4EmParameters::Instance();
  G4double emin  = std::min(param->MinKinEnergy(), ion->LowEnergyLimit());
  G4double emax  = std::max(param->MaxKinEnergy(), ion->HighEnergyLimit());
  G4int bin = G4lrint(param->NumberOfBinsPerDecade() * std::log10(emax / emin));
  ion->SetLowEnergyLimit(emin);
  ion->SetHighEnergyLimit(emax);
  SetMinKinEnergy(emin);
  SetMaxKinEnergy(emax);
  SetDEDXBinning(bin);
 
  SetEmModel(ion);
  AddEmModel(1, ion, ion);
 
  isInitialised = true;
}

IsApplicable()

G4bool IsApplicable ( const G4ParticleDefinition &  p )

overridevirtual

Dummy to check if the proccess is is applicable to a certain particle.

Parameters

p	Particle definition reference

Returns

true

Definition at line 42 of file G4mplIonisation.cc.

{
  return true;
}

MinPrimaryEnergy()

G4double MinPrimaryEnergy ( const G4ParticleDefinition *  p, const G4Material *  , G4double  cut  )

finalvirtual

Threshold for zero value.

Definition at line 47 of file G4mplIonisation.cc.

{
  G4double x = 0.5 * cut / electron_mass_c2;
  G4double mass  = mpl->GetPDGMass();
  G4double ratio = electron_mass_c2 / mass;
  G4double gam   = x * ratio + std::sqrt((1. + x) * (1. + x * ratio * ratio));
  return mass * (gam - 1.0);
}
