Function RMGOutputTools::is_within_surface_safety

Function Documentation

bool RMGOutputTools::is_within_surface_safety(const G4VPhysicalVolume *pv, const G4ThreeVector &position, double safety, bool is_distance_check_germanium_only = false)

Check if any surface is closer than a given safety distance.

More efficient than distance_to_surface when only a threshold check is needed, as it can exit early as soon as any surface is found closer than the safety.

Parameters:

  • pv – The physical volume to check.

  • position – The position to evaluate.

  • safety – The safety distance threshold.

  • is_distance_check_germanium_only – when true, only daughters registered as Germanium detectors are considered in daughter-surface checks.

Returns:

true if any surface (parent or daughters) is within the safety distance.
