When a sensitive detector accumulates hits, are the hits for the same trajectory calculated together? Or, will any hits (that belong to different trajectories) be accumulated in the order of their generation?
I feel the latter is the case. If so, the sensitive detector may not be best to obtain the trajectory of a particle in a volume, although it works great for calculating the accumulated dose, for which the order of hits is not important. Am I guessing right?
Your question is unclear. Do you mean hits for the same particle or same event? If you want to group hits inside a volume together for individual particles you can use the tracking ID to associate it with the same particle and the global time to “order” the hits for the same particle. This will only not work for photons/gamma rays because all interactions are completely destructive (so a gamma producing a compton photon will “lose” the track ID). That would require a different approach.
I meant the hits for the same particle. Thanks much for the suggestions.
