Using SLIC to Generate MC Data

Overview

This guide will explain how to generate physics events in an HPS setup including the ECal and the tracking detectors.

Preliminaries

You will need:

• SLIC
• Detector geometry files
• StdHep events (see Finding Monte Carlo data at SLAC)

Build SLIC

You need a copy of SLIC.

See the SLIC installation instructions.

Detector Data

The lcdd detector description files are included in the hps-java distribution. 

hps-java/detector-data/detectors/

Run Event Simulation

The following example shows how to generate some LCIO events using slic with an stdhep file as input

slic -g ./hps-java/detector-data/detectors/HPS-EcalTest-v1pt0/HPS-EcalTest-v1pt0.lcdd \
-i ap6.6gev100mevsel_10_20u_beamspot_gammactau_0cm.stdhep \
-x -O -o hpsEcalTest -r 10000
