To create full simulations, you will need to convert ProMC files to LCIO files. This is described in converting_to_lcio

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

If you want to make changes in the detector design, edit “compact.xml”, and then run the converters:

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m"
GCONVERTER=lcsim/detector-framework/target/lcsim-detector-framework-3.1.6-SNAPSHOT-bin.jar
GEOM="mydetector" # name of your detector
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar $GCONVERTER -o lcdd compact.xml $GEOM.lcdd
slic -g ${GEOM}.lcdd  -G ${GEOM}.gdml
echo "heprep compact.xml.."
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar $GCONVERTER -o heprep compact.xml $GEOM.heprep
echo "pandora compact.xml.."
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar $GCONVERTER -o pandora compact.xml $GEOM.pandora
java $JAVA_OPTS -jar $GCONVERTER -o html compact.xml ${GEOM}.html

where “${GEOM}” is the name of the detector geometry.

All information required by Pandora algorithm is stored in the file with the extension “.pandora”. This file is created using GeoConvertor, which reads CalorimeterCalibration.properties file. In particular, it reads:

• mipEnergy
• mipSigma
• mipCut
• timeCut

The sampling fractions are taken from the detector directory called “SamplingFractions”. Here files look as this:

BeamCal.properties*
EcalBarrel.properties*
EcalEndcap.properties*
HcalBarrel.properties*
HcalEndcap.properties*
LumiCal.properties*
MuonBarrel.properties*
MuonEndcap.properties*
README*

Look at the file:
