DPMJET


    Defines some I/O parameters relevant to the heavy ion event generator DPMJET
    (of interest for developers)

    Option DPMJET is useful only for development work: generally the user does
    not need this option - to request activation of DPMJET use the command
    IONTRANS

    See also BME, EVENTYPE, EVXTEST, MYRQMD, PHYSICS, RQMD


     
WHAT(1)
: format of the required pre-processed Glauber parameters. A complete set of projectile-target combinations for the entire FLUKA energy range is utilised. To revert to the original DPMJET format set this value to 1. See also Note 2 below.
Default
= 0.0
WHAT(2)
: allows to change the logical unit number which is assigned to the DPMJET output.
Default
= 19.0
WHAT(3)
: selects the level of output verbosity for DPMJET. The default corresponds to minimal output. If this value is set to 1.0, initialisation and minor error messages are printed. In addition, one can request information about the DPMJET common block (the internal list of objects considered by DPMJET). If set equal to 2.0 all the available information is output, if set equal to 3.0 only information about final residual nuclei is output, and if set to 4.0 information about all final state objects is written.
Default
= 0.0
WHAT(4)
-
WHAT(6)
: reserved to developers
SDUM
: not used
Notes:
1) FLUKA utilises DPMJET, the Boltzmann Master Equation [Cav96,Cav01,Cer06] and a heavily modified version of a RQMD-2.4 implementation (H. Sorge [Sor89, Sor89a, Sor95]) in order to simulate heavy ion interactions. 2) Glauber parameter sets in the original ASCII format can be generated by running the stand-alone DPMJET program. Only up to 10 different projectile/target combinations can be initialised per run. Parameter sets in excess of the first 10 combinations will be provided by the default mechanism. Examples:
*...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7...
DPMJET 0.0 71. 4.
* running with the pre-processed, full matrix of Glauber parameter sets
* but requesting more verbose output for DPMJET: initialisation related
* messages, all error messages and information about final state objects
* in the DPMJET common block.
* DPMJET is told not to read any specific input options.
* All output will be found in file connected to logical unit 71 instead
* of 19 (under Linux this file would be named fort.71)
* End_Devel_seq
