Hi Jan, 
Please pay your attention for
http://www.star.bnl.gov/public/comp/vis/GeometryBrowser.pdf 
slide 12.

"Geometry Browser" can find and show (highlight) you the piece of the
Mortran code that describes the object selected with the mouse ( You may
want to add this to your blog ;-)

The most commonly used particles have the following GEANT ID:

   Particle     GEANT ID

   Photon           1
   Positron         2
   Electron         3

   Mu+              5
   Mu-              6
   Pi0              7
   Pi+              8
   Pi-              9
   K0long          10
   K+              11
   K-              12
   Neutron         13
   Proton          14
   Antiproton      15
   K0short         16
   Eta             17
   Lambda          18

   Deuteron        45
   Triton          46
   Alpha           47
   He3             49

ALL Geant ID's are listed here

I would like to know if there is a way, when building a geometry in starsim,

starsim> dtree HALL
root.exe
> .L $STAR/StarDb/VmcGeometry/Geometry.upgr13.C
> CreateTable()
> .x ~fisyak/macros/LoopOverTgeo.C 

Thomas,

I believe you were looking for this page

which indeed, has not been ported to Drupal. This one
http://www.star.bnl.gov/public/comp/simu/newsite/shielding_study.htm
also contains information on the shielding and background study
Maxim did in 2005.

macro for mass of volumes in Geant (Yuri)

/afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/users/fisyak/public/macros/Weight.C

1. You do
  cvs co StRoot/StChain
  edit StMaker.cxx

  // Future development:
  {"simpletpc",   20200102,    16, "simpletpc",""},
  {"upgr20",      20200102,    17, "upgr20",    "y2007 +  one  
TOF"}, // advertized simu 20061101
  {"upgr21",      20200102,    18, "upgr21",    "y2007 + full  
TOF"}, // advertized simu 20061101
         <<< insert your geometry definition here
  {0,                    0,     0,        0,    0}

   rebuild library
and go to step 2.
2.  run
root4star 'Ast2Root.C("jan")'
3. You will get
    jan.h
4. in root session
root.exe
.L jan.h
jan()

You will get your VMC geometry

5. After that you run Weight.C

Jan, you should use no option
        Weight(1e-3,"")

Somehow I see only this description:

Estimate the weight of a volume (in kg) with SIGMA(M)/M better than

PRECISION. Option can contain : v - verbose, a - analytical (default)

How do I chose not analytical integration method? What 'option' should

I use?

http://root.cern.ch/root/html/TGeoVolume.html#TGeoVolume:Weight

 Full instruction for myself:

1)
in a new directory, in stardev:
/star/data05/scratch/balewski/tmp2/

2)
I copied my private geometry:
cp -rp ...../pams .

3) cons

4) root4star 'Ast2Root.C("upgr15")'

got produced: upgr15.h

5)  copy /afs/rhic.bnl.gov/star/users/fisyak/public/macros/Weight.C
and edit it, I want to weigh FGT mother volume:
path="HALL_1/CAVE_1/FGMO_1"
tag = "upgr15"

6) root.exe
.L upgr15.h
upgr15()
.x Weight.C

Got output:
FGMO
Info in : Computing analytically weight of FGMO
Info in : Computed weight: 1111.200497 [kg]

To change visibility of a GEANT volume add to kumac:

SATT * SEEN 1   // for all
SATT BRMD SEEN 1 // for thi one.

The queue "long" is available and this is really the only way to make
the job run longer and not be evicted. To prevent a job from re-running,
there are a few tricks
PeriodicHold = (JobRunCount >= 1 && JobStatus == 1)

would have the job held in the queue instead of re-starting.

PeriodicRemove = (JobRunCount >= 1 && JobStatus == 1)
 

which would tell to remove the job upon the same condition.
