Hello,
I would like to simulate ionization induced by an alpha particle of about 1 MeV in a gas volume and the avalanche of the ionization electrons. I see two options:
Generate alpha track with Heeds, and then AvalacheMicroscopic, but it seems Heeds does not support alpha
Combine GEANT4 and GARFIELD. I started from the example in
Garfield/Examples/Geant4GarfieldInterface, but I have the following runtime error:
-------- EEEE ------- G4Exception-START -------- EEEE -------
*** G4Exception : Analysis_F001
issued by : G4GenericAnalysisManager::OpenFileImpl
Cannot open file “Garfield”.
Please, use a file name with an extension or define the default file type
via G4AnalysisManager::SetDefaultFileType()
*** Fatal Exception *** core dump ***
**** Track information is not available at this moment
**** Step information is not available at this moment
Indeed the runtime error disappeared, thanks! Now I can run up to the filling of the Garfield.root file. But just after I see a segfault, and the tree in garfield.root is empty.
