OMSimSensitiveDetector::OMSimSensitiveDetector	(	G4String	p_name,
		DetectorType	p_detectorType
	)

Member Function Documentation

checkBoundaryAbsorption()

G4bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::checkBoundaryAbsorption ( G4Step *  p_step )

private

Parameters

p_step

The current step information.

Returns

True if the photon was detected at the boundary, false otherwise.

checkVolumeAbsorption()

G4bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::checkVolumeAbsorption ( G4Step *  p_step )

private

Parameters

p_step

The current step information.

Returns

True if the photon was absorbed, false otherwise.

fetchBoundaryProcess()

void OMSimSensitiveDetector::fetchBoundaryProcess ( )

private

Retrieves and stores the G4OpBoundaryProcess to check for photon detection at boundaries. Logs an error if the process is not found.

getPhotonInfo()

PhotonInfo OMSimSensitiveDetector::getPhotonInfo ( G4Step *  p_step )

private

Parameters

p_step

The current step information.

Returns

PhotonInfo struct containing the photon details.

handleGeneralPhotonDetector()

G4bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::handleGeneralPhotonDetector ( G4Step *  p_step, G4TouchableHistory *  p_touchableHistory  )

private

Parameters

p_step	The current step information.
p_touchableHistory	The history of touchable objects.

Returns

True if the hit was stored, always true for general photon detectors.

handlePMT()

G4bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::handlePMT ( G4Step *  p_step, G4TouchableHistory *  p_touchableHistory  )

private

Parameters

p_step	The current step information.
p_touchableHistory	The history of touchable objects.

Returns

True if the hit was stored, false otherwise.

isPhotonDetected()

bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::isPhotonDetected ( double  p_efficiency )

private

Parameters

p_efficiency

The detection probability.

Returns

True if the photon was detected, false otherwise.

ProcessHits()

G4bool OMSimSensitiveDetector::ProcessHits ( G4Step *  p_step, G4TouchableHistory *  p_touchableHistory  )

override

If the detector type is one of the perfect detectors (100% efficient), the photon hit is registered directly. Otherwise, it checks for volume or boundary absorption based on the detector type.

Parameters

p_step	The current step information.
p_touchableHistory	The history of touchable objects.

Returns

True if the photon hit was stored, false otherwise.

setPMTResponse()

void OMSimSensitiveDetector::setPMTResponse

(

OMSimPMTResponse *

p_response

)

Parameters

p_response

Pointer to the PMT response object.

storePhotonHit()

void OMSimSensitiveDetector::storePhotonHit ( PhotonInfo &  p_info )

private

Parameters

p_info

The photon hit information.
