Member Function Documentation

addProperty()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::addProperty ( const G4String &  p_propertyName, G4double  p_xUnit, G4double  p_yUnit, bool  p_invertX, const boost::property_tree::ptree &  p_propertyTree  )

private

Parameters

p_propertyName	Name of the property.
p_xUnit	Unit conversion factor for energy values.
p_yUnit	Unit conversion factor for property values.
p_invertX	Whether to invert the x-axis values.
p_propertyTree	Property tree containing the property data.

findMaterialPropertyTable()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::findMaterialPropertyTable ( G4String  p_name )

private

Parameters

p_name

Name of the material whose property table is to be found.

getOpticalSurfaceFinish()

G4OpticalSurfaceFinish OMSimMaterialHandler::getOpticalSurfaceFinish ( const std::string &  p_finish )

private

Parameters

finish

String representation of the finish.

getOpticalSurfaceModel()

G4OpticalSurfaceModel OMSimMaterialHandler::getOpticalSurfaceModel ( const std::string &  p_model )

private

Parameters

p_model

String representation of the model.

getState()

G4State OMSimMaterialHandler::getState ( const std::string &  p_state )

private

Parameters

p_state

String representation of the state.

getSurfaceType()

G4SurfaceType OMSimMaterialHandler::getSurfaceType ( const std::string &  p_type )

private

Parameters

p_type

String representation of the surface type.

processConstProperties()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::processConstProperties ( )

private

The json files that contain a key "jConstProperties", will have a list of properties with a constant

processExtraProperties()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::processExtraProperties

(

)

This method is used to add additional properties to a material that has already been defined.

processProperties()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::processProperties ( )

private

In the json file there is a jProperties key containing one ore more keys (which will be the name of the property in the material property table). Each of these keys contains two arrays, one in key jWavelength and the other in jValues.

processSpecial()

void OMSimMaterialHandler::processSpecial

(

ProcessorFunction *

p_processor

)

Parameters

p_processor

Function pointer to the processor function.

This method is used for processing special material types like IceCube ice or scintillators, which require custom handling.

processSurface()

G4OpticalSurface * OMSimMaterialHandler::processSurface

(

)

Returns

Pointer to the created G4OpticalSurface.
