* How to start with '''git''' (DONE ONCE when you start working on this project):
 +
# Done once at the beginning on web:
 +
## Create an account (user-name and password) at https://github.com/
 +
## Fork gemc/detectors
 +
# Done once at the beginning in your work directory:
 +
## $ '''ssh ifarm'''
 +
## $ '''git clone https://github.com/your_git_user_name/detectors.git''' (create your disk copy)
 +
## $ '''git config --global user.name "Your Name"'''
 +
## $ '''git config --global user.email your_git_email@example.com'''
 +
# Done once at the beginning to add the master to your disk:
 +
## $ '''cd detectors/injector/'''
 +
## $ '''git remote add upstream https://github.com/gemc/detectors'''
 +
## $ '''git remote -v'''
 +
## $ '''git fetch upstream'''
 +
## $ '''git checkout master'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To update your fork at github.com:
 +
# $ '''git add ''newfile'' ''' (if any)
 +
# $ '''git commit -a -m"comment"'''
 +
# $ '''git push'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To ask the project manager to incorporate your changes into the “master":
 +
# First, update your fork at github.com – see above
 +
# Create pull request: done from github website, navigate to your fork – create pull request by pushing green button
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To update your disk copy from master - see detailed instructions at http://gemc.github.io/ :
 +
# $ '''git fetch upstream'''
 +
# $ '''git checkout master'''
 +
# $ '''git merge upstream/master''' (sync your files at disk with the master: https://github.com/gemc/detectors.git)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* How to run '''gemc''':
 +
# $ '''cd detectors/injector'''
 +
# $ '''setenv JLAB_ROOT /site/12gev_phys'''
 +
# $ '''setenv JLAB_VERSION 1.3'''
 +
# $ '''source $JLAB_ROOT/$JLAB_VERSION/ce/jlab.csh'''
 +
# $ '''./geometry.pl config.dat'''
 +
# $ '''gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=2'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To check overlaps:
 +
# $ '''gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -CHECK_OVERLAPS=10'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To draw axes: /vis/scene/add/axes 0 0 0 0.5 m (Draws axes at (x0, y0, z0) of given length and colour – x, y and z will be red, green and blue)
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To print physics summary: '''gemc bubble.gcard -PHYS_VERBOSITY=10'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To run gemc in batch mode:
 +
# $ '''gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=1000000 -PRINT_EVENT=100000'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To set Tracking Energy Cut (in MeV):
 +
# $ '''gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=1000000 -PRINT_EVENT=100000 -ENERGY_CUT=4.0'''
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* To run large statistics run (using LUMI events):
 +
        <option name="LUMI_EVENT"    value="10000, 250*ns, 2*ns" />
 +
        <option name="LUMI_P"        value="e-, 8.5*MeV, 0.*deg, 0.*deg" />
 +
        <option name="LUMI_V"        value="(0.,0.,-5.)cm" />
 +
        <option name="LUMI_SPREAD_V"  value="(0., 0.)cm" />
 +
 
 +
# $ '''gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=10001 -PRINT_EVENT=100'''
  
−
[[file:BCjul7.jpeg||500px|]]
 
  
 +
* To reduce size of out.ev (and out.root), use:
 +
# $ '''bank.pl config.dat'''
 +
# $ '''hit.pl config.dat'''
 +
This creates ''bubble'' tree with leafs: detId, kinE, pid, hitn.
 +
To get gamma flux:
 +
root> bubble->Draw("kinE","detId==1&&pid==22",""); // To record gammas coming out of radiator (radiatorFlux)
 +
root> bubble->Draw("kinE","detId==2&&pid==22",""); // To record gammas entering glass cell (n20Cell)
 +
For 1B electrons (T<sub>e</sub>=8 MeV): out.ev=16GB, out.root=7.5GB, ''gemc'' interactive time = 250 hours

    2. Fork gemc/detectors
  2. Done once at the beginning in your work directory:
    1. $ ssh ifarm
    2. $ git clone https://github.com/your_git_user_name/detectors.git (create your disk copy)
    3. $ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
    4. $ git config --global user.email your_git_email@example.com
  3. Done once at the beginning to add the master to your disk:
    1. $ cd detectors/injector/
    2. $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/gemc/detectors
    3. $ git remote -v
    4. $ git fetch upstream
    5. $ git checkout master


  • To update your fork at github.com:
  1. $ git add newfile (if any)
  2. $ git commit -a -m"comment"
  3. $ git push


  • To ask the project manager to incorporate your changes into the “master":
  1. First, update your fork at github.com – see above
  2. Create pull request: done from github website, navigate to your fork – create pull request by pushing green button


  1. $ git fetch upstream
  2. $ git checkout master
  3. $ git merge upstream/master (sync your files at disk with the master: https://github.com/gemc/detectors.git)


  • How to run gemc:
  1. $ cd detectors/injector
  2. $ setenv JLAB_ROOT /site/12gev_phys
  3. $ setenv JLAB_VERSION 1.3
  4. $ source $JLAB_ROOT/$JLAB_VERSION/ce/jlab.csh
  5. $ ./geometry.pl config.dat
  6. $ gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=2


  • To check overlaps:
  1. $ gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -CHECK_OVERLAPS=10


  • To draw axes: /vis/scene/add/axes 0 0 0 0.5 m (Draws axes at (x0, y0, z0) of given length and colour – x, y and z will be red, green and blue)


  • To print physics summary: gemc bubble.gcard -PHYS_VERBOSITY=10


  • To run gemc in batch mode:
  1. $ gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=1000000 -PRINT_EVENT=100000


  • To set Tracking Energy Cut (in MeV):
  1. $ gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=1000000 -PRINT_EVENT=100000 -ENERGY_CUT=4.0


  • To run large statistics run (using LUMI events):
       <option name="LUMI_EVENT"     value="10000, 250*ns, 2*ns" />
       <option name="LUMI_P"         value="e-, 8.5*MeV, 0.*deg, 0.*deg" />
       <option name="LUMI_V"         value="(0.,0.,-5.)cm" />
       <option name="LUMI_SPREAD_V"  value="(0., 0.)cm" />
  1. $ gemc bubble.gcard -USE_GUI=0 -N=10001 -PRINT_EVENT=100


  • To reduce size of out.ev (and out.root), use:
  1. $ bank.pl config.dat
  2. $ hit.pl config.dat
This creates bubble tree with leafs: detId, kinE, pid, hitn.
To get gamma flux: 
root> bubble->Draw("kinE","detId==1&&pid==22",""); // To record gammas coming out of radiator (radiatorFlux)
root> bubble->Draw("kinE","detId==2&&pid==22",""); // To record gammas entering glass cell (n20Cell)
For 1B electrons (Te=8 MeV): out.ev=16GB, out.root=7.5GB, gemc interactive time = 250 hours


  • To convert to root:
  1. $ $BANKS/bin/evio2root -INPUTF=out.ev -B=bubble
Note: need bubble__bank.txt in same directory.


  • The current geometry for the Bubble Chamber is in gemc and is shown below:

gemc and Batch Farm

- Group: bubble
- Group Disk: /group/bubble (20GB) 
- Work Disk: /work/accel/bubble (500GB)


  • Bubble experiment is set up for farm use with 500GB work storage; please use project bubble for your jobs (Group account: accelerator).


  • How to run gemc on batch farm:
  1. $ cd /work/accel/bubble
  2. $ mkdir <user>
  3. $ cd <user>
  4. $ git clone https://github.com/maureeungaro/analysis.git
  5. $ cd analysis/farm/gemc
  6. Modify file Master:
# Parameters set by user
# ----------------------
set NEVENTS    = 5001                                  # number of events / job@ 10,000 luminosity
set NMAXJOBS   = 20                                    # number of jobs to be launched per gcard
set GCARDSD    = /work/accel/bubble/<user>/cards       # collection of gcards. One job / gcard will be launched
set OUTPUTD    = /work/accel/bubble/<user>/output      # output directory
set DEBUG      = no                                    # "yes" will print out the jsub file instead of submitting it
set EXPSD      = /work/accel/bubble/<user>/injector    # directory containing the detector definition - just remember in the gcard you have to have full path. 
set INPUTFILES = none                                  # directory containing the input files. Can be "none" for internal generator
# Farm specific parameters
set MEMORY   = "2000 MB"         # node memory to be used
set OS       = centos65          # job OS
set PROJECT  = bubble            # job project name
set MAIL     = <user>@jlab.org   # author email
set TRACK    = simulation        # job track
set JSUBC    = /site/bin/jsub    # command to submit the job 
# End of user parameter
# ---------------------



In gcard file:
   <detector name="bubble" factory="TEXT" variation="original"/>
becomes
   <detector name=“/work/accel/bubble/<user>/injector/bubble" factory="TEXT" variation="original"/>


  • Then run “Master”
  1. $ ./Master


  • To kill all submitted jobs:
  1. $ ./killAll


  • inquireSimulation Usage:
set GCARDSD = /work/accel/bubble/<user>/cards     # collection of gcards. One job / gcard will be launched
set INPUTD  = /work/accel/bubble/<user>/output    # location of evio files (inside each gcard title)
set OUTPUTD = $INPUTD/root                        # output directory
set EXACT   = 5001                                # number of expected events
set MINP    = 5001                                # minimum number of events required for the sim to be processed

Available options:
reset:   will reset the event count number to 1 (write to .dat file)
verbose: will display the event information (no ROOTIFICATION)
root:    will rootify, w/o removing simulation dir
rootr:   will rootify and remove simulation dir
clear:   will remove unfinished directories
  1. $ cd analysis/farm/gemc
  2. Modify file inquireSimulation - see above
  3. Copy file bubble__bank.txt to this directory
  4. $ ./inquireSimulation reset - only once per simulation
  5. $ ./inquireSimulation verbose
  6. $ ./inquireSimulation root


  • To add root files:
  1. $ hadd destination.root directory/*.root

To-do List

  1. Geometry is in gdml format, need to get correct Radiator, Collimator, Beamline, PhotonDump geometry.
  2. Add sweep magnet and electrondump geometry in gdml format.
  3. Complete: Include the Bubble Chamber geometry using the Bubble Chamber STEP file (change .txt to .stp): media:BubbleChamber.txt.
    1. Geometry has been created and is on github, BubbleMother.gdml and all daughter files
  4. The beamline STEP file will be ready very soon.
  5. GEANT4 uses models that calculate wrong photo–nuclear cross sections (see above). GEANT4 does not allow for user’s cross sections. What to do?
    1. Use GEANT4 to produce the photon spectra impinging on the superheated liquid.
    2. Fold the above photon spectra with our cross sections in stand-alone codes.
    3. Could we not create a correct physicslist.cc in geant4 instead?
