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

So, you need install VGM only if you plan to use in RunConfiguration of your application an option "geomRootToGeant4" - geometry defined in Root, but GEANT4 navigation. By default, in PamVMC option "geomRoot" was defined because GEANT4 has no option ONLY/MANY, so if I use "geomRootToGeant4" translation could be wrong (WARNING!). But if you wish to do some run-time visualization, like showers, you should use VGM libraries and option "geomRootToGeant4" in PamVMC Run configuration.@ @ get archive from http://ivana.home.cern.ch/ivana/VGM.html and put in in /cern @ cd /cern tar zxf v3-02.tar.gz ln -s /cern/v3-02 /cern/VGM emacs -nw VGM/config/geant4.gmk @ correct line 23: CPPFLAGS += -I$(G4INCLUDE) on some machines @ cd /VGM/packages make @ after you should fin in /cern/VGM/lib/Linux-g++ libaries: libBaseVGM.so libClhepVGM.so libGeant4GM.so libRootGM.so libXmlVGM.so @ 7) Installation of PAMELA software @ create a symbolic link to cint includes: (needed for Darth Vader with ROOT 5.23) for ROOT 5.20 you don't need to do it@ cd /cern/ROOT/include ln -s ../cint/cint/inc/ cint 8) Installation of geant4_vmc @ get source ftp://root.cern.ch/root/vmc/geant4_vmc.2.6.tar.gz and put in /cern @ cd /cern tar zxf geant4_vmc.2.6.tar.gz ln -s /cern/geant4_vmc_2.6 /cern/geant4_vmc cd /geant4_vmc/source make 9) Installation of PamVMC @Before you start, do an export of PAM_VMC env. variable to source directory In case if you wish to use PamVMC with GEANT4 you should go to $(PAM_VMC)/PamG4RunConfiguration @ make clean make @ this will produce a libPamG4RunConfiguration.so library in $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM) @ cd $(PAM_VMC) make @ after this step an application library $(PAM_VMC)/lib/tgt_$(PLATFORM)/libPamVMC_fc.so will be compiled and some calibration files will be copied from $(PAM_VMC)/aux@ @ in $(PAM_VMC)/examples you can find an example of usage @ @ For more details please look inside $(PAM_VMC)/include PamVMCPrimaryGenerator.h and PamVMCDetectorHit.h @ /////////////SPGECTRA GENERATOR///////////////// @ spectra_generator is a tool which allow you to generate tracks above the apparatus isotropically and save initial kinematic parameters (X0,Y0,Z0=110., P, Theta, Phi) "good" tracks in output root-file. After this, file could be used to do simulations. The condition to accept tracks is satisfaction to 14 acceptance planes, defined by TrkParams in Level2. This tool is based on DoTrack method of Level2. To save data in root-file PrimaryInfo class was developed and compiled in library. If later you wish to develop your own script to work with data stored threre, you need just load libPrimaryInfo.so shared library @ 1) @ To compile library you need change your .rootlogon.C file. One example is provided in directory /aux/spectra_generator. Please check your enviroment variables.
