SuperNEMO configuration for SN@ilWare
This repository contains a SN@ilWare configuration to run SuperNEMO
simulations. The current version is hosted at
https://github.com/xgarrido/snemo_simulation_configuration under git version
control. You can clone this repository by doing
git clone https://github.com/xgarrido/snemo_simulation_configuration snemo_configuration
This will create a directory snemo_configuration in the working directory
containing all the source files needed to configure and to setup SN@ilWare
programs. The repository holds the following files
- simulation_config
- the main file holding the module/service manager configuration.
- sngeometry_manager
- the configuration of SuperNEMO geometry
- sng4_manager
- the Geant4 simulation configuration
- step_hit_processor_factory
- the factory of step hit processor in relation with Geant4 step hits
- sngenbb_manager
- the double beta decay generator aka genbb configuration file
- sngenvertex_manager
- the vertex generator configuration
- snvariant_manager
- the variant configuration used to implement versatile configuration files
The configuration files are organised using org-babel and its ability to execute
source code. It requires then a recent installation of emacs which bundles
org. Without entering into too much details regarding org-babel abilities,
the basic idea is to give a "literate" way to navigate through the different
sections, each of them representing a configuration file. Moreover, using org
folding/unfolding capability, item can be hide and the user can focus on
relevant parts.
To export the different configuration files, you can run org-babel-tangle
which will tangle each code block into the given file or use the associated
Makefile. The author recommends to use the Makefile since the tangling process
is asynchronous and thus, does not freeze your emacs (org-babel-tangle
"occupies" emacs during its execution).
