Detailed Description

A metadata class to create x-ray transmission window definitions.

TRestAxionXrayWindow implements parameters that define the window properties, such as material and thickness. This class will load the transmission data to calculate the transmission for a photon of a given energy and position. The window might be defined as a uniform foil or using a particular pattern using a TRestPatternMask definition.

If we include the pattern definition using TRestPatternMask, then, the limits for the window will be imposed by TRestPatternMask. In the contrary, if no TRestPatternMask definition is included in the TRestAxionXrayWindow definition, then the window will have no limits, it will be just an infinite foil with a given material transmission.

The following parameters are used to define the window transmission:

center: It will emplace the window definition at a given position.
material: The material used by the window. The name must match the name of one of the files found at data/transmission/ removing the extension.
thickness: The depth of the window that defines finally the total x-ray photon absorption.

Then, as it was mentioned before, we might define different types of window patterns, such as a strong back where photon opacity is only defined at a regular grid or stripped pattern. The window transmission will only be applied in the regions where the particle hits the pattern. Otherwise, the particle will just go through the empty regions and the transmission/efficiency will be equal to 1.

We may define the window pattern using any of the classes inheriting from TRestPatternMask, such as TRestGridMask, TRestStrippedMask, or event TRestSpiderMask and TRestRingsMask.

Once all the parameters have been defined inside an instance of this class, we will be able to recover the transmission at any given point inside the window using the method TRestAxionXrayWindow::GetEfficiecy.

The corresponding RML section for initialization through a configuration file would be as follows.

<TRestAxionXrayWindow name="strongBack" verboseLevel="warning">
    <parameter name="center" value="(0,0,0)mm" />
<parameter name="thickness" value="200um" />
    <parameter name="material" value="Si" />
 
    <TRestGridMask name="mask" verboseLevel="warning"
     maskRadius="8mm" offset="(2,2)mm"
        rotationAngle="0.5" gridGap="4mm" gridThickness="0.5mm" />
</TRestAxionXrayWindow>

The pipeline example found at pipeline/transmission/windowPlot.py will use a definition with 3 layers to generate the following plot.

◆ TRestAxionXrayWindow()

TRestAxionXrayWindow::TRestAxionXrayWindow	(	const char *	cfgFileName,
		std::string	name = `""`
	)

Constructor loading data from a config file.

If no configuration path is defined using TRestMetadata::SetConfigFilePath the path to the config file must be specified using full path, absolute or relative.

The default behaviour is that the config file must be specified with full path, absolute or relative.

Parameters

cfgFileName	A const char* giving the path to an RML file.
name	The name of the specific metadata. It will be used to find the corresponding TRestGeant4Metadata section inside the RML.

◆ GetTransmission()

Double_t TRestAxionXrayWindow::GetTransmission	(	Double_t	energy,
		Double_t	x,
		Double_t	y
	)

It returns the window transmission probability for the given energy (in keV) and window position, using energy linear interpolation.

For the case of patterned window (stripped or grid), it will return 1 if the strip is not hitted.
