There are eight base classes.
- Three classes are mandatory
- G4VUserDetectorConstruction
- Describe the experimental setup, geometry and materials
- G4VUserPhysicsList
- Define particles, physics processes and range cuts
- G4UserPrimaryGeneratorAction
- Describe particle source, source dimensions, initial position, energy spectrum, angular distributions
- The rest are optional
- G4UserRunAction
- Define and store histograms
- G4UserEventAction
- Event selection and analysis of simulation data
- G4UserStackingAction
- Customize priority of tracks
- G4UserTrackingAction
- Decide whether a trajectory should be stored or not
- G4UserSteppingAction
- Kill, suspend, postpone a track
You can create your own classes which are derived from the base classes. All of them should be registered with the G4RunManager. In function main() which is the skeleton of your simulation code you instantiate G4RunManager and notify it of your mandatory and optional classes.
