| + | The macro dnageometry.mac produces a root files '''dnageometry.root''' with ntuples containing the following information for every step: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * type of particle | ||
| + | * type of physics process | ||
| + | * the two DNA strands | ||
| + | * x, y and z coordinates of the post step [nm] | ||
| + | * total energy deposit alo[eV] | ||
| + | * step length [nm] | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can analyze the root files using '''plot.C''' macro. First, copy this macro to your directory, then run the root | ||
| + | macro. | ||

| + | The macro produces a plot that shows the position of the two DNA strands. In This is the plot: | ||
