The beam characteristics are similar to the ones used at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN) in Catania, Italy. The proton beam has Guassian energy distribution. Have a look [https://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/UsersGuides/ForApplicationDeveloper/html/ch02s07.html here] to find out the meaning of the /gps/ commands. | ||
Now, use your favorite editor '''pico''', '''vi''', '''emacs''' etc. to open the macro proton.mac: | Now, use your favorite editor '''pico''', '''vi''', '''emacs''' etc. to open the macro proton.mac: |
