How to get the reaction channel?

Physics Processes, Models and Cross Sections
1

i want to get the reaction channel of producing a special particle,
the physical process can be obtained like this:
track->GetCreatorProcess();

the reaction target nucleus can be obtained like this:
process->GetTargetNucleus();

but how to get the incident particle of the reaction?

2

track->GetParticleDefinition()->GetParticleName()

sorry, in the reaction A(a,b)B, i want to get the “a” particle information through b,
not directly get the “b” particle information.

@ arce, i mean get the particle that produce the particle “track->GetParticleDefinition()->GetParticleName()”.

5

The incident particle (track) is the a, A is the target nucleus, b and B are the secondary particles

yes, you are right.
as you say: the current particle “b” i am interested in can be obtained from " track->GetParticleDefinition()->GetParticleName() ”.

at the same time, i want to know how the particle “b” is produced,
so first i get the physics process from “track->GetCreatorProcess()”.

then through the process, the target nucleus can be obtained from “process->GetTargetNucleus()”.

but how to obtain the incident particle “a”?
the incident particle “a” can be obtained from the process “track->GetCreatorProcess()”?

By the time particle b exists and you’re recording it, particle a has already been deleted (G4 does not keep G4Track instances around after they are stopped-and-killed).

If you have a stepping action, instead of catching particle b, you could look for the step where particle a is being killed, and record the information there.

@ mkelsey, thanks!
