How do I read

an LCDD file using SLIC?

LCDD can read files either from the local file system or from a URL. The file location can be set with the -g option and its corresponding command /lcdd/url.

This is an example of reading a local file from the command line.

No Format

slic -g /path/to/myGeom.lcdd

This command reads the geometry from a URL.

No Format

slic -g http://www.lcsim.org/detectors/sid00/sid00.lcdd

If the -g option is specified from the command-line, SLIC assumes that the simulator should be initialized to the Idle state after the geometry is loaded.

How do I read a GDML file using SLIC?

The LCDD system supports reading both plain GDML and LCDD files from SLIC.

Compact Detector Description

What is the Compact Detector Description?

The compact description provides an abbreviated format for describing a full detector and its subcomponents to the org.lcsim reconstruction and analysis subsystem.

The compact detector description schema specifies the structure of this format as an XML schema (XSD file).

How does the compact format work?

Where is the standard location for compact XML files and their matching LCDD description?

Compact detectors are kept at this base url in zip files named with the detector tag.

http://www.lcsim.org/detectors

For instance, this is the location of the sid00 zip detector's resource file.
