They retrieve input branches via `TClonesArray*` from `FairRootManager` in `Init()` and process them in `Exec()`. + +**AtReactionGenerator**: Abstract base for all reaction generators. Subclasses implement `GenerateReaction()`. The `ReadEvent()` method is `final` and handles the beam/reaction event alternation via `AtVertexPropagator`. Generators can be chained for sequential decays using `SetSequentialDecay(true)`. + +**AtVertexPropagator**: Singleton (`AtVertexPropagator::Instance()`) that communicates vertex, momentum, and kinematics between chained generators and downstream tasks. Alternates beam/reaction events via `EndEvent()`. Use `ResetForTesting()` in unit tests. + +**PSA (Pulse Shape Analysis)**: `AtPSA` is the abstract base. Concrete implementations (`AtPSAMax`, `AtPSAFull`, `AtPSADeconv`, etc.) extract hits from pad traces. `AtPSAComposite` allows chaining PSA methods. + +**Energy loss**: `AtELossModel` is the base; `AtELossCATIMA` wraps the CATIMA library (fetched automatically if not installed). Used via `AtELossManager`. + +### Adding a New Module Library + +Each module's `CMakeLists.txt` follows this pattern: +```cmake +set(LIBRARY_NAME MyModule) +set(SRCS file1.cxx file2.cxx) +set(DEPENDENCIES ATTPCROOT::AtData ROOT::Core ...) +set(TEST_SRCS MyModuleTest.cxx) +attpcroot_generate_tests(${LIBRARY_NAME}Tests SRCS ${TEST_SRCS} DEPS ${LIBRARY_NAME}) +generate_target_and_root_library(${LIBRARY_NAME} LINKDEF ${LIBRARY_NAME}LinkDef.h SRCS ${SRCS} DEPS_PUBLIC ${DEPENDENCIES}) +``` + +ROOT dictionary generation requires a `*LinkDef.h` file listing every class that needs ROOT reflection. Every class with `ClassDef` in its header must appear in the LinkDef. + +**LinkDef streamer suffix** — the suffix after the class name controls whether ROOT generates a full I/O streamer: + +- `ClassName +;` — generates a full streamer. Use this **only** for classes that are written to a ROOT file (i.e. stored as a branch in a `TClonesArray` or `TTree`). Examples: `AtHit`, `AtEvent`, `AtRawEvent`, `AtMCPoint`. +- `ClassName -!;` — registers the class for reflection (usable in interpreted macros, usable as a pointer type) but **suppresses the streamer**. Use this for every class that is never written to disk: tasks, algorithms, models, samplers, etc. Examples: `AtELossModel`, `AtSpaceChargeModel`, `AtSample` subclasses. + +Generating an unnecessary streamer bloats the dictionary and binary with unused I/O code, so the default should be `-!` unless disk persistence is actually required. + +**C++ vs ROOT typedefs** — use plain C++ types (`bool`, `int`, `double`, `std::string`) in all classes that are not written to a ROOT file. Only use ROOT's portability typedefs (`Bool_t`, `Int_t`, `Double_t`, etc.) in classes that are persisted to disk, where ROOT's cross-platform I/O guarantees matter. Mixing ROOT types into purely algorithmic or task classes is unnecessary overhead. + +### Unit Tests + +Tests use Google Test, placed alongside source files (e.g., `AtVertexPropagatorTest.cxx` in `AtSimulationData/`). Register them in the module's `CMakeLists.txt` via `attpcroot_generate_tests()`. Tests must not access external files or network resources. + +### Macros + +ROOT macros (`.C` files) in `macro/` are the primary user interface for running simulations and analyses. They are not compiled into libraries—they run interpreted by ROOT. Integration tests live in `macro/tests/`. + +## Contributing + +- PRs must target the `develop` branch and apply cleanly (fast-forward, no merge commits). +- Commit messages: present imperative mood, ≤72 characters summary. +- All PRs are checked by `clang-format`, `clang-tidy`, and the unit test suite. diff --git a/AtTools/AtELossBetheBloch.cxx b/AtTools/AtELossBetheBloch.cxx new file mode 100644 index 000000000..91c7e283a --- /dev/null +++ b/AtTools/AtELossBetheBloch.cxx @@ -0,0 +1,221 @@ +#include "AtELossBetheBloch.h" + +#include + +#include +#include + +namespace AtTools { + +AtELossBetheBloch::AtELossBetheBloch(double part_q, double part_mass, int mat_Z, int mat_A, double density, double I_eV) + : AtELossModel(density), fPart_q(part_q), fPart_mass(part_mass) +{ + SetMaterial(mat_Z, mat_A, density, I_eV); +} + +void AtELossBetheBloch::SetMaterial(int mat_Z, int mat_A, double density, double I_eV) +{ + fMat_Z = mat_Z; + fMat_A = mat_A; + fDensity = density; + if (I_eV <= 0) + fI_MeV = 13.5 * mat_Z * 1e-6; // Bloch approximation: I ≈ 13.5·Z eV + else + fI_MeV = I_eV * 1e-6; + BuildSpline(); +} + +void AtELossBetheBloch::SetI(double I_eV) +{ + fI_MeV = I_eV * 1e-6; + BuildSpline(); +} + +void AtELossBetheBloch::SetDensity(double density) +{ + fDensity = density; + BuildSpline(); +} + +void AtELossBetheBloch::BuildSpline(double E_min_MeV, double E_max_MeV, int nPoints) +{ + std::vector energies(nPoints); + std::vector dedxValues(nPoints); + + double logMin = std::log(E_min_MeV); + double logMax = std::log(E_max_MeV); + + for (int i = 0; i < nPoints; ++i) { + double t = static_cast(i) / (nPoints - 1); + energies[i] = std::exp(logMin + t * (logMax - logMin)); + dedxValues[i] = GetdEdx_formula(energies[i]); + } + + // The Bethe-Bloch formula breaks down at low energies where the log argument drops below 1. + // Find the lowest-energy valid grid point, then extrapolate below it using dEdx ∝ sqrt(E), + // consistent with the low-energy Lindhard stopping power behavior. + int firstValid = -1; + for (int i = 0; i < nPoints; ++i) { + if (dedxValues[i] > 0) { + firstValid = i; + break; + } + } + + if (firstValid < 0) { + LOG(error) << "Bethe-Bloch formula returned zero for all energy grid points!"; + return; + } + if (firstValid > 0) { + LOG(debug) << "Bethe-Bloch formula invalid below " << energies[firstValid] + << " MeV; extrapolating with dEdx ∝ sqrt(E)."; + for (int i = 0; i < firstValid; ++i) + dedxValues[i] = dedxValues[firstValid] * std::sqrt(energies[i] / energies[firstValid]); + } + + std::vector dXdE(nPoints); + for (int i = 0; i < nPoints; ++i) + dXdE[i] = (dedxValues[i] > 0) ?
