Hi,
I’m sorry if this question is already answered elsewhere, I couldn’t find the answer anywhere.
I’m simulating a simple calorimeter cell and use 120GeV muons as primary particles. Sometimes the deposited energy is very high, since I activated optical physics these events generate a big number of optical photons and it takes a lot of time to track them, although I’m not really interested in these events.
What i would like to do is calculate the deposited energy in the calorimeter, if it’s above a certain threshold, completely stop the tracking of all the particles and move on the next event, also without executing EndOfEventAction() so nothing gets recorded. In this way I could skip events where primary particles deposit, let’s say, more than 5 GeV in my calorimeter when the MVP is 150 MeV.
Is there a optimal way to do this in geant4?
