1 @ PREAMBLE
2 This text will help you in installation of PamVMC simulator. This document will be
3 updated after next release of tools.
4 Installation was done on Debian machine, kernel 2.6.26-2-686,
5 gcc version 3.4.6 (Debian 3.4.6-5)
6 Everything was compiled under ROOT v. 5.23. PAMELA software (8th reduction) was corrected
7 to be compiled (see list of changes below). PAMELA libraries was compiled, but executables,
8 like chewbacca still doesn't work (need to be corrected). Anyway, PamVMC needs only libraries
9 for getting information about real magnetic field. To proceess data, I prefer now to have
10 also standard (second) PAMELA SW installaton under previous version of ROOT (5.20). @
11
12 This is a list of tools to do simulation:
13 CLHEP 2.0.4.2
14 GEANT 4.9.2.p01
15 ROOT v. 5.23.04
16 VGM v.3.02
17 PAMELA 8th reduction (should be corrected by yourself if any problems)
18
19 In /scripts directory you will find examples of scripts that does an export of
20 ALL enviroment variables for this installation. Please check them with yours.

161 Creating configuration setup file...
162 WARNING: the generated configuration file
163 can be edited if necessary!
164 You can introduce any change to the configuration file
165 /cern/geant4.9.2.p01/.config/bin/Linux-g++/config.sh before the final installation.
166 To do so, use a shell escape now (e.g. !vi /cern/geant4.9.2.p01/.config/bin/Linux-g++/config.sh).
167 Press [Enter] to start installation or use a shell escape to edit config.sh: @

195
196 6) @installation of VGM v.3.02@
197 @Note: VGM is needed to convert ROOT-defined geomery in GEANT4. So, you need
198 install VGM only if you plan to use in RunConfiguration of your application
199 an option "geomRootToGeant4" - geometry defined in Root, but GEANT4 navigation.
200 By default, in PamVMC option "geomRoot" was defined because GEANT4 has no
201 option ONLY/MANY, so if I use "geomRootToGeant4" translation could be wrong (WARNING!).
202 But if you wish to do some run-time visualization, like showers, you should use
203 VGM libraries and option "geomRootToGeant4" in PamVMC Run configuration.@
204
205 @ get archive from http://ivana.home.cern.ch/ivana/VGM.html and put in in /cern @

216 7) Installation of PAMELA software

231 make
232
233 9) Installation of PamVMC
234
235 @Before you start, do an export of PAM_VMC env. variable to source directory
236 In case if you wish to use PamVMC with GEANT4 you should go to $(PAM_VMC)/PamG4RunConfiguration @
237 make clean
238 make
239 @ this will produce a libPamG4RunConfiguration.so library in $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM) @
240 cd $(PAM_VMC)
241 make
242 @ after this step an application library $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM)/libPamVMC_fc.so will be compiled
243 and some calibration files will be copied from $(PAM_VMC)/aux@
244
245 @ in $(PAM_VMC)/examples you can find an example of usage @
246 @ For more details please look inside $(PAM_VMC)/include PamVMCPrimaryGenerator.h and PamVMCDetectorHit.h @
247
248 /////////////SPGECTRA GENERATOR/////////////////
249 @ spectra_generator is a tool which allow you to generate tracks above the apparatus
250 isotropically and save initial kinematic parameters (X0,Y0,Z0=110., P, Theta, Phi)
251 "good" tracks in output root-file. After this, file could be used to do simulations.
252 The condition to accept tracks is satisfaction to 14 acceptance planes, defined by
253 TrkParams in Level2. This tool is based on DoTrack method of Level2.
254 To save data in root-file PrimaryInfo class was developed and compiled in library.
255 If later you wish to develop your own script to work with data stored threre,
256 you need just load libPrimaryInfo.so shared library @
257
258 1) @ To compile library you need change your .rootlogon.C file. One example is provided
259 in directory /aux/spectra_generator. Please check your enviroment variables. All pathes
260 in this file completetly dependent on your enviroment @
261 2) cd /aux/spectra_generator
262 make clean
263 make
264 @ After this you should find a library: libPrimaryInfo.so, and executable: sp_gen @
265
266 @+++SPECTRA GENERATOR HOWTO +++@
267 @ There are 3 different regimes in which sp_gen could work, and application recognize in
268 which way you wish it work by number and type of parameters which you specify to launch it:

312 Please note, that application suppose that name of graph is
313 "gflux". Of course, you can define your own. See sp_gen.C, line 170.
