There are already several files which help you to analyse root files from primasoft:

1. PrimaSimAnalysis (can be found here: /geant4/src/PRIMASimAnalysis.cc, /geant4/include/PRIMASimAnalysis.hh)
2. Config file for Analysis (examples can be found here: /geant4/sim_ana_utilities/ana_default.conf)
3. Rootmacros (examples can be found here: /geant4/rootmacros)

This is what they do:

• The deposited energy in every crystal is stored: “calEdep”
• The signal energy in every crystal is simulated: “calSignal”
• Hits are sorted into clusters: “calClusters”, where the individual hits are stored and the total cluster energy is accessible
• The momentum direction and the energy of the initial particle is stored: “P”
• Single crystal threshold is applied. The value can be set in the config file, default is 2 MeV. This is analogue the to hit detection threshold in a measurement.
• Different crystal-setups can be used. The setup can be chosen in the config file, default is to use all 786 crystals. These are the options:
  • all crystals are used (768)
  • the inner 640 crystals are used symmetrically (640)
  • the inner 640 crystals are used in an oval shape (640_oval)
  • the inner 560 crystals are used symmetrically (560)
• Scintillation hits is still under developement …..
• 3 functions are left empty (BeginOfRun(), DoEvent(), EndOfRun()). These need to be defined in the rootmacro.

• an example how to read the .root files can be found in rootmacros/test.C
• execute a rootmacro (here: test.C):

  /primasoft/geant4$ root -l rootmacros/test.C+

• the root files include information about the primary particles, the deposited energy in the calorimeter and in the tagger.
• in the rootmacros the functions BeginOfRun(), DoEvent() and EndOfRun() need to be defined, please have a look at the examples
• in OpenTreeFiles() you can define the root file which will be analysed and you can optionally choose a config file:

   c.OpenTreeFiles("test_bwec.root","sim_ana_utilities/ana_default.conf");  

  If the path is relative and not absolute for the root and config file, pay attention that the relative path changes when you execute the rootmacro from a different folder.

• test.C is a basic example
• energy_res.C and acceptance.C are more advanced examples
• event_display.C the energy signal for each crystal for one event (usage: geant4$ root -l 'rootmacros/event_display.C(“path/file.root”,eventnumber)')
