lcgeo (Linear Collider Geometry)

Implementation of Linear Collider detector models in DD4hep.

lcgeo is distributed under the GPLv3 License

Requirements

DD4hep built with Geant4 and LCIO

Download and Installation

Download

git clone https://github.com/iLCSoft/lcgeo.git
cd lcgeo ; mkdir build ; cd build

Initialize dependency

source __path_to_DD4hep__/bin/thisdd4hep.sh
cmake -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE=ON ..

Build

make -j4 install

Initialize

source ../bin/thislcgeo.sh

Running some examples

go to cd ./example

Create single particle input file

Modify the python script ./example/lcio_particle_gun.py in order to create an LCIO input file with single particles:

export PYTHONPATH=${LCIO}/src/python:${ROOTSYS}/lib:$PYTHONPATH
python lcio_particle_gun.py

There is also example input file with 10 singe muons: ./mcparticles.slcio

Run the simulation:

ddsim --compactFile ../ILD/compact/ILD_o1_v05/ILD_o1_v05.xml --inputFiles mcparticles.slcio -N 10

This creates an lcio file simple_lcio.slcio with sim hits and MCParticles.

You can look at it in the usual way

anajob simple_lcio.slcio
dumpevent simple_lcio.slcio 1

Change the ddsim command line parameters as needed to read other input files.

Event displays:

There are several ways for visualizing the detector geometry and the simulated events:

CED event display

ced2go -d gear_ILD_o1_v05_ORG.xml -t ced2go-template.xml simple_lcio.slcio
teveDisplay

ln -s simple_lcio.slcio teve_infile.slcio

teveDisplay ../ILD/compact/ILD_o1_v05/ILD_o1_v05.xml
DDEve:

root

.x $DD4hepINSTALL/examples/DDEve/DDEve.C()

and then load

../ILD/compact/ILD_o1_v05/DDEve.xml

Running the reconstruction with Marlin (EXPERIMENTAL)

create a gear file from the DD4hep detector model, e.g.

convertToGear default ../trunk/ILD/compact/ILD_o1_v05.xml gear_ILD_o1_v05_dd4hep.xml

[ Friendly reminder: in order to work you need to explicitly build DD4hep with GEAR enabled. Use the flag -DDD4HEP_USE_GEAR="ON" for the cmake command. ]

Note: currently this might still be incomplete and you can copy missing information for example from the original Mokka gear files ( or use $DDSIM/example/gear_ILD_o1_v05_dd4hep.xml )
run simulation (as described above), e.g.:

python ddsim.py ../ILD/compact/ILD_o1_v05/ILD_o1_v05.xml
run the standard reconstruction ( tracking only so far ):

Marlin ../example/ild_dd4hep_stdreco.xml
--global.LCIOInputFiles=./simple_lcio.slcio --MyLCIOOutputProcessor.LCIOOutputFile=./simple_lcio_REC.slcio
look at the result w/ the CED event display, e.g.

ced2go -d ../example/gear_ILD_o1_v05_ORG.xml -t ../example/ced2go-template.xml simple_lcio_REC.slcio
