Scintillation light

[faca87]

Hello @weller

@weller

you could also use the linked example as a start, from the filenames it looks like you took B1 instead of OpNovice2!?

Yes, I started from B1 example! This is because I’m implementing the scintillation to my simulation…I’m building the simulation step -by-step and my supervisor said me to start from B1

@weller

maybe simplify your code to the bare minimum, make it work there, slowly add more „complex“ things and check if things still work as they should.

Searching on the forum, I found this @dsawkey 's message Track of optical photon - #5 by dsawkey he said that in the macro of the OpNovice2 there are some command lines needed to use the scintillation I guess the lines are:

/process/optical/processActivation Cerenkov      false
/process/optical/processActivation OpAbsorption  true
/process/optical/processActivation OpBoundary    false
/process/optical/processActivation Scintillation true
/process/optical/processActivation OpRayleigh    false
/process/optical/processActivation OpMieHG       false
/process/optical/processActivation OpWLS         false

/process/optical/scintillation/setEnhancedTimeConstants true
/process/optical/scintillation/setYieldFactor 10
#/process/optical/scintillation/setExcitationRatio .5
/process/optical/scintillation/setByParticleType true
/process/optical/scintillation/setTrackInfo      false
/process/optical/scintillation/setFiniteRiseTime false
/process/optical/scintillation/setStackPhotons   true

/process/optical/scintillation/setTrackSecondariesFirst true

but if I add these lines I also don’t get the sentence
if(particleDef == opticalphoton) G4cerr << "I am a photon :)" << G4endl;
