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 recomment 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

Clone the musrSim repository

git clone https://zaher-salman@bitbucket.org/zaher-salman/musrsim.git

then

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.
