Example P01: integrating ROOT: http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/Doxygen/examples_doc/html/ExampleP01.html

Example TestEM0: http://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/Doxygen/examples_doc/html/ExampleTestEm0.html

@ Nevis:

bash
module load geant4
module load root/06.04.00	
cd /a/home/houston/dcaratelli/GEANT4/B1/build/

To build (from build directory):

cmake -DGeant4_DIR=$G4DIR ../
make –j2 

./exampleB1 runDC.mac

G4 Testing / Validation:

Tracking particle tracks:

in .mac add:

/tracking/storeTrajectory 1

Then implement how to access track info from the bottom of this page: http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/Tips/event/3.html

G4Trajectory class reference here: http://www.apc.univ-paris7.fr/~franco/g4doxy/html/classG4Trajectory.html

Important! return of GetTrajectoryContainer is G4VTrajectory which does not have much info, unlike G4Trajectory, which inherits from G4VTrajectory, and contains process information.
