DETECT
Scores energy deposition on an event by event basis (detector), providing
coincidence and anti-coincidence capabilities such as those of a trigger.
In the following, an "event" means energy deposited in one or more DETECTOR
REGIONS by one primary particle and its descendants, i.e. between two
successive calls to the FEEDER subroutine (case of an incident beam) or to a
user-written SOURCE subroutine (case of an extended source, or of a source
read from a collision file or sampled from a distribution).
A "signal" means energy deposited in one or more TRIGGER REGIONS by the same
primary particle and descendants (i.e., between the same calls).
The output of DETECT is a distribution of energy deposited per event in the
region(s) making up the detector in (anti)coincidence with a signal larger
than a given cutoff or threshold in the trigger region(s).
It is also possible to define DETECTOR COMBINATIONS. [NOT YET IMPLEMENTED!!]
This option can extend over several sequential cards. The meaning of the
parameters on the first card are:
WHAT(1)
<= 0.0 for a detector, > 0.0 for a combination of detectors
If WHAT(1)
<= 0.0:
|WHAT(1)
|= number of channels if >1024. Otherwise, number of
channels is 1024.
WHAT(2)
= minimum total energy to be scored in the detector regions in one
event, i.e. lower limit of the event distribution.
Default
: 0.0
WHAT(3)
= maximum total energy to be scored in the detector regions in one
event, i.e. upper limit of the event distribution
No default
WHAT(4)
= cutoff energy for the signal (coincidence/anticoincidence
threshold). The energy deposition event is scored only if a total
of more than WHAT(4)
GeV are/aren't correspondingly deposited in
the trigger regions.
Default
: 1.E-9 (= 1 eV)
WHAT(5)
= > 0.0 : the detector regions, taken together, must be considered
in COINCIDENCE with the trigger regions (also taken together)
<= 0.0 : the detector regions must be considered in
ANTI-COINCIDENCE with the trigger regions
Default
: anti-coincidence
WHAT(6)
= region number or name not preceded by a minus sign: first region
of the DETECTOR
region number or name preceded by a minus sign: first region of
the TRIGGER
(the other regions will be given with continuation cards, see
below).
No default
SDUM
= detector name (max. 10 characters) unless the character "&"
is present
Continuation card (if present):
WHAT(1)
= same as WHAT(1)
for the first card
WHAT(2-6) = following regions (with sign). If not preceded by a minus sign,
they are considered detector regions, otherwise trigger regions
SDUM
= "&" in any position in column 71 to 78 (or in the last field
if free format is used)
Note:
if no trigger region is given (i.e. no region with negative sign)
a simple event-by-event scoring takes place.
Default
(option DETECT not requested): no (anti)coincidence scoring
Notes:
1) Output from DETECT is written unformatted on logical unit 17.
A program, DETSUW, is available with the normal FLUKA
code distribution in the directory $FLUPRO/flutil. DETSUW allows to
combine the results of several runs, and returns the results
in both an unformatted and a formatted files.
2) Important: option DETECT will give meaningful results ONLY when
FLUKA is used in a completely analogue mode, since correlations are
destroyed by biasing. Thus, DETECT cannot be used together with any
biasing option or weight-changing facility. It is recommended for
this purpose to issue a GLOBAL command with WHAT(2)
< 0.0 at the
beginning of input (see GLOBAL).
A list of incompatible options is: BIASING, EMF-BIAS, LOW-BIAS,
LAM-BIAS, WW-FACTOr, EMFCUT with WHAT(3)
> 0, EMF with WHAT(6)
<> 1,
EXPTRANS, LOW-DOWN.
Example (number-based):
DETECT 0.0 1.E-4 1.E-2 5.E-5 1.0 7.0 Coincid_1
DETECT 0.0 -9.0 -12.0 10.0 11.0 &
The same example, name-based:
DETECT 0.0 1.E-4 1.E-2 5.E-5 1.0 The7thRg Coincid_1
DETECT 0.0 -The9thRg -Region12 Region10 Region11 &
