Hello experts, I was simulating the interaction of a carbon beam of energy 20 keV on a Zr target. The beam is in a charge state +1 and I have used GPS to simulate the beam. The major problem I face is while visualising the simulation. As the beam is positively charged, I am expecting the tracks to be in blue colour. But in fact it appears without any colour. This really confuses me. In vis.mac macro, the particle trajectories are explained as follows:
/vis/modeling/trajectories/create/drawByParticleID
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set e- red
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set gamma green
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set neutron yellow
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set deuteron pink
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set alpha blue
/vis/modeling/trajectories/drawByParticleID-0/set GenericIon blue
I am assuming it is the GenericIon is taking care of the colour of tracks of carbon or any other ions (or am I wrong ??). I am attaching the relevant portions of my GPS source macro as well here.
/run/initialize
/process/activate msc
/gps/source/intensity 5.
/gps/particle ion
/gps/ion 6 12 1
/gps/pos/type Beam
(the incident surface is in the x-y plane)
/gps/pos/rot1 1 0 0
/gps/pos/rot2 0 1 0
(the beam spot is centered at the origin and is
of 1d gaussian shape with a 1 mm central plateau
Change the beam shape to an ellipse)
/gps/pos/shape Ellipsoid
/gps/pos/centre 0. 0. 30.0 mm
/gps/pos/halfx 6.0 mm
/gps/pos/halfy 3.5 mm
( the beam is travelling along the X_axis with 5 degrees dispersion)
/gps/ang/rot1 1 0 0
/gps/ang/rot2 0 1 0
/gps/ang/type beam1d
/gps/ang/sigma_r 2. deg
( the beam energy is in gaussian profile centered at 2 KeV)
/gps/ene/type Gauss
/gps/ene/mono 20 keV
/gps/ene/sigma 10 eV
I am also attaching the OGL visualisation of the simulation.
I am confused if it is some problem in my visualisation or if it is a problem with me defining the source. Thanks a lot for your help and support in advance.
