TRestGeant4VetoAnalysisProcess Class Reference

Detailed Description

The TRestGeant4VetoAnalysisProcess generates observables based on veto volumes energy depositions. It was first developed as a process for the IAXO experiment but can be used in any analysis. It uses keywords to identify different relevant volumes (such as vetoes). The default veto keyword for IAXO is veto and it will tag each volume containing the keyword as a veto volume, so avoid using the keyword on volumes that do not act as vetoes.

Parameters: vetoKeyword: keyword to identify a volume of the geometry as a veto. The condition is that the keyword is contained inside the name of the volume. Only volumes serving as veto (i.e. scintillators) should contain this vetoKeyword in their names. vetoGroupKeywords: comma separated keywords used to identify different groups of vetoes. This is an optional parameter that when specified will make the process return additional observables on a per group basis. The most common use case is using group names to identify the location of the vetoes (top, bottom, ...). The volumes detected as vetoes (via vetoKeyword) will also be assigned to a group if they contain a keyword contained in this list. vetoQuenchingFactors: comma separated values for the quenching factors used in the analysis. The observables will be calculated for each of the quenching factors contained in this list. Values between 0 and 1 only. This is useful in case the user doesn't know the exact value of the quenching factor. Also it is useful to insert 0 or 1 to study the effects of electromagnetic processes only, or no quenching at all.

Example usage: <addProcess type="TRestGeant4VetoAnalysisProcess" name="g4Veto" value="ON" observable="all"> <parameter name="vetoKeyword" value="veto"> <parameter name="vetoGroupKeywords" value="top, bottom, east, west, front, back"> <parameter name="vetoQuenchingFactors" value="0, 0.15, 1">
