Detailed Description

Base class for all Sensitive Detectors to create hits during simulation.

Definition at line 28 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SensitiveDetectorBase()

SensitiveDetectorBase	(	const std::string &	name,
		Const::EDetector	subdetector
	)

inline

Create a new Sensitive detecor with a given name and belonging to a given subdetector.

Parameters

name	name of the sensitive detector
subdetector	subdetector the sensitive detector class belongs to

Definition at line 35 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ProcessHits()

bool ProcessHits	(	G4Step *	aStep,
		G4TouchableHistory *	aROhist
	)

inlineprivatevirtual

Check if recording hits is enabled and if so call step() and set the correct MCParticle flag.

Called by Geant4 for each step inside the sensitive volumes attached

Definition at line 94 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.h.

◆ registerMCParticleRelation() [1/2]

static void registerMCParticleRelation	(	const RelationArray &	relation,
		RelationArray::EConsolidationAction	ignoreAction = `RelationArray::c_negativeWeight`
	)

inlinestatic

Overload to make it easer to register MCParticle relations.

Parameters

relation	RelationArray to register
ignoreAction

Definition at line 66 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.h.

◆ registerMCParticleRelation() [2/2]

void registerMCParticleRelation	(	const std::string &	name,
		RelationArray::EConsolidationAction	ignoreAction = `RelationArray::c_negativeWeight`
	)

static

Register an relation involving MCParticles.

All Relations which point from an MCParticle to something have to be registered with addMCParticleRelation() because the index of the MCParticles might change at the end of the event. During simulation, the TrackID should be used as index of the MCParticle

Parameters

name	Name of the relation to register
ignoreAction

Definition at line 22 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.cc.

◆ setActive()

static void setActive ( bool activeStatus )

inlinestatic

Enable/Disable all Sensitive Detectors.

By default, all sensitive detectors won't create hits to make it possible to use the Geant4 Navigator for non-simulation purposes. Only during simulation the sensitive detectors will be enabled to record hits

Parameters

activeStatus bool to indicate wether hits should be recorded

Definition at line 50 of file SensitiveDetectorBase.h.

◆ step()

virtual bool step	(	G4Step *	step,
		G4TouchableHistory *	ROhist
	)

protectedpure virtual

Process a Geant4 step in any of the sensitive volumes attached to this sensitive detector.

This is the main function to be implemented by subclasses. The original ProcessHits is now used to check if recordign of hits is enabled and to set the correct MCParticle flag automatically on creation of a hit

Parameters

step	Geant4 step which has all the information
ROhist	TouchableHistory of the ReadoutGeometry if any is defined

Returns: true if a hit was recorded, false otherwise
