# musrSim simulation #
### Contents ###
This is the C++ source code for the musrSim simulation software which is intended to be a general tool to design and simulate µSR spectrometer with very high accuracy. To compile and run musrSim, the user must have a recent Geant4 (tested with v11.0.3) and Root (tested with v6-22-06) installed (Root version is not critical).
* The code is specifically tuned to simulate muon spin spectrometers.
* The code is maintained by the Laboratory for Muon Spin Spectroscopy at PSI.
### Supported platforms ###
* Linux and any other decent OS that can run Root and GEANT4.
### Installation ###
Compile and install Geant4, we recommend the use of the following cmake flags
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/installation /path/to/source -DGEANT4_USE_QT=ON -DGEANT4_INSTALL_DATA=ON -DGEANT4_USE_OPENGL_X11=ON
We also recommend that you use `view3dscene` as a VRML viewer. This can be downloaded from here: `https://castle-engine.io/view3dscene.php`.
Following the installation of Gean4, set the correct environment variable. We recommend that you add the following to your `.bashrc` file.
export G4INSTALL="/path/to/installation"
export G4NEUTRONHPDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4NDL4.6"
export G4LEDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4EMLOW8.0"
export G4LEVELGAMMADATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/PhotonEvaporation5.7"
export G4RADIOACTIVEDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/RadioactiveDecay5.6"
export G4PARTICLEXSDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4PARTICLEXS4.0"
export G4PIIDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4PII1.3"
export G4REALSURFACEDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/RealSurface2.2"
export G4SAIDXSDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4SAIDDATA2.0"
export G4ABLADATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4ABLA3.1"
export G4INCLDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4INCL1.0"
export G4ENSDFSTATEDATA="$G4INSTALL/share/Geant4-11.0.3/data/G4ENSDFSTATE2.3"
export G4VRMLFILE_VIEWER="/path/to/your/view3dscene";
Clone the musrSim repository
git clone https://zaher-salman@bitbucket.org/zaher-salman/musrsim.git
then (see below for RedHat or other old systems)
cd musrsim
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make -j8
make install
This will install the `musrSim` binary in `/usr/local/bin`, but it can be moved to any other directory in your `PATH`.
### Running the simulations ###
Prepare a file, `finlename.mac`, with your beamline and spectrometer design following the instruction in the [musrSim manual](https://bitbucket.org/zaher-salman/musrsim/src/master/doc/musrSim.pdf).
musrSim filename.mac
### RedHat and old systems ###
For compilation on RedHat systems:
# Make sure that the `gcc-toolset-13` package is installed
# Use the follwoing compilation command: `scl enable gcc-toolset-13 'make -j8'`
# Use `CMakeLists_rhel8.txt`: `cp CMakeLists_rhel8.txt CMakeLists.txt`
# If you have Root 6.30 use `FindROOT_6.30.cmake`: `cp FindROOT_6.30.cmake FindROOT.cmake`
