Member Function Documentation

BeginOfEventAction()

void BeginOfEventAction

(

const G4Event *

event

)

This method is invoked before converting the primary particles to G4Track objects.

Parameters

event

Pointer to the current G4Event object.

Definition at line 47 of file EventAction.cc.

{
  //Enable recording of Hits
  SensitiveDetectorBase::setActive(true);
  if (m_writeSimSteps) {
    // Open a new output file for the VR event-history steps

    B2INFO("Opened VR event-history file " << filename);
  }
}

EndOfEventAction()

void EndOfEventAction

(

const G4Event *

event

)

This method is invoked at the very end of event processing.

Parameters

event

The pointer to the G4Event object which allows to access trajectories, hits collections and/or digits collections.

Definition at line 65 of file EventAction.cc.
