The SLIC simulator package uses a low-level XML data format while the reconstruction uses a smaller, more targetted format called the "compact description". Using a compact geometry in the simulator requires converting it to LCDD.
- Follow the instructions in Building+org.lcsim+software to build the GeomConverter package.
- Go to the GeomConverter directory and build a distribution.
maven dist
- Unzip the distribution one directory below the current one. (This example has a hardcoded version number.)
cd .. tar -zxvf GeomConverter/target/GeomConverter-0.3.tar.gz
- Run the compact to LCDD converter.
GeomConverter-0.3/bin/GeomConverter compact.xml det.lcdd
The output LCDD file can be used as input to SLIC, which might look like this.
slic -g det.lcdd -z -n
