The TRestGeant4NeutronTaggingProcess generates observables based on veto volumes energy depositions. It was first developed as a process for the IAXO experiment but can be used in any analysis. It uses keywords
to identify different relevant volumes (such as vetoes). The default veto keyword for IAXO is veto
and it will tag each volume containing the keyword as a veto volume, so avoid using the keyword on volumes that do not act as vetoes. There are also keywords for shielding and capture volumes (Cd layers).
Parameters:
- vetoKeyword: keyword to identify a volume of the geometry as a veto. The condition is that the keyword is contained inside the name of the volume. Only volumes serving as veto (i.e. scintillators) should contain this vetoKeyword in their names.
- captureKeyword: keyword to identify a volume of the geometry as a capture volumes. These volumes correspond to the volumes used to capture neutrons and produce easily detectable secondaries, such as Cd layers. This parameter is optional and is useful to benchmark the effect of the capture volume and material, for example, if a very low % of neutron captures occur on the
capture
volumes, they are not very optimized.
- shieldingKeyword: keyword to identify the shielding volume. It is used to study the secondaries coming out of the shielding, as in IAXO most of the secondaries come from the shielding. If there are multiple shielding volumes this may not work as expected.
- vetoGroupKeywords: comma separated keywords used to identify different groups of vetoes. This is an optional parameter that when specified will make the process return additional observables on a per group basis. The most common use case is using group names to identify the location of the vetoes (top, bottom, ...). The volumes detected as vetoes (via vetoKeyword) will also be assigned to a group if they contain a keyword contained in this list.
- vetoQuenchingFactors: comma separated values for the quenching factors used in the analysis. The observables will be calculated for each of the quenching factors contained in this list. Values between 0 and 1 only. This is useful in case the user doesn't know the exact value of the quenching factor. Also it is useful to insert
0
or 1
to study the effects of electromagnetic processes only, or no quenching at all.
