Linking angular and energy distribution

[ThibFe]

Hi all!

I’m trying to simulate an activation experiment with proton’s induced neutron.
I first launched a simulation to retrieve neutron’s angular and energy distribution.
I saved them as Ntuple in a root file :

In a way to reduce my computing time, I now want to launch neutron directly according to this distribution.

And I’m stuck at this point because I can’t found a way to link energy and angular distribution.

Maybe is there a way by using my file to generate this distribution ?

Thanks in advance!

I can barely reproduce the distribution but I can’t found a way to link them:

Hi,

Are you using the G4ParticleGun? It allows to generate primary particles with total freedom.

Cheers

Hi,

Thanks for your reply,
No I’m using GPS, assuming it was more usefull for generating specific primary particles

So a way with G4ParticleGun is recovering the particle’s emission angle at the generation and imposing the “right” energy for this angle, that’s right ?

Thanks

[guatelli]

yes, correct. You can do that with the G4ParticleGun.

To be more specific, you can write any arbitrary code you want in your G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction::GeneratePrimaries(), and you can then pass the configuration you generate through to the fParticleGun data member for each event.

in examples/extended/eventgenerator, there are 2 examples to illustrate these features :
userPrimaryGenerator which even do not use G4ParticleGun
particleGun which use G4ParticleGun
