Inheritance Relationships¶

Base Type¶

public RMGVGenerator (Class RMGVGenerator)

Class Documentation¶

class RMGGeneratorCosmicMuons : public RMGVGenerator ¶

Cosmic-muon primary generator backed by the EcoMug sampler.

Generates atmospheric muons sampled either from a horizontal plane or from the upper hemisphere of a sphere (see SkyShape). Momentum, zenith/azimuth and source-position ranges are configurable through messenger commands. Vertex position is sampled internally by EcoMug, so SetParticlePosition is a no-op.

Based on EcoMug, Pagano et al., NIM A 1014 (2021) 165732, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2021.165732.

Public Types

enum class SkyShape¶

Geometric shape of the surface from which muons are sampled.

Values:

enumerator kPlane¶: Horizontal square plane at a fixed height.

enumerator kSphere¶: Upper hemisphere of a sphere centred at the origin.

virtual void GeneratePrimaries(G4Event*) override¶: Sample a muon from EcoMug and fire it through the internal particle gun.

inline virtual void SetParticlePosition(G4ThreeVector) override¶: No-op: vertex sampling is owned by EcoMug.

virtual void BeginOfRunAction(const G4Run*) override¶: Configure EcoMug with the user-supplied sky shape and kinematic ranges.

inline virtual void EndOfRunAction(const G4Run*) override¶

Called at the end of a run.

Derived generators can perform any necessary finalization in this method.
