RAT for Ricochet
1. Install Prerequisites - Before downloading RAT, make sure you install the software packages in this order.
2. Download RAT - By running git clone in your working directory. This puts RAT in a new directory called rat.
3. Set up ROOT and GEANT4 by sourcing their respective environment scripts
- $ROOTSYS/bin/thisroot.sh and $G4INSTALL/bin/geant4.sh
- $ROOTSYS/bin/thisroot.sh and $G4INSTALL/bin/geant4.sh
4.Run the following commands in the rat directory to build RAT
# Run configure script
./configure # Setup Environment
source env.sh # Compile
scons
Set up Environment
Download
Download RAT from GitHub
Example testCfneutrons.mac
# Set environment variables with
source /afs/hep.wisc.edu/ddm/ratcage/env.sh # The neutron detector at the MIT reactor geometry is at
cd /afs/hep.wisc.edu/ddm/ratcage/rat/data/Ricochet/NCD_MITR.geo
# and other info is in the /data directory (MATERIALS, SPECTRUM, ELEMENTS) # Run the macro example by typing
rat testCfneutrons.mac
# You will see an output root file and it is useful to make a ROOT program to make histograms from it # To see the outcome plots, you need to execute makeNeutronPlotsNCD.C # Follow these commands root -l root[0] .L makeNeutronPlotsNCD.C+ root[1] makeNeutronPlotsNCD("testNeutronCf.root","histTestneutronCfNew.root")
You can learn a lot about a ROOT file with the TBrowser() but it's all listed in https://deapclean.org/rat/trac/wiki/UserGuide/DataStructure/MC
