MAY 22, 2018 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
another bug fix in ZenithSampler, added unit test for ZenithSampler
deleted StaticParams and StaticParamsSetter, part of parameters in these classes are moved to Steering class.
InteractionGR class is modified to make two hadron cascades instead of one cascade, when W->hh decay happens
SolidAngle calculation has been changed to return 1.0 instead of 0, when min_zenith and max_zenith or min_azimuth and max_azimuth are same value. (If SolidAngle is 0, OneWeight will be 0 either) It is consistent what we do with I3NuGPointSource.
default AngleSamplingMode has been restored from ANGEMU to COS.
FEB 6, 2018 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Bug fix of ZenithSampler, this bug affects ANGEMU mode when zenith range is not 0-180 degrees.
DEC 27, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
added std:: to all pow functions
added ZenithSampler.h and .cxx, which provides weighted sampling methods. Calculator::CalcSimpleSlopeWeight moved to ZenithSampler::SimpleSlopeSampler
added ANGEMU mode to AngleSamplingMode. If the ANGEMU mode is selected, NuGen samples zenith angle of primary particle with polynominal functions that is close to flat in zenith angle, not cos(zenith). This option is made to solve the issue that we have poor statistics per zenith angle (not cos(zenith)) when we generate flat in cos(zenith), while angular resolution of our reconstruction is calculated per zenith but not cos(zenith). See document.
DEFAULT AngleSamplingMode HAS BEEN CHANGED from COS to ANGEMU.
DEC 19, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Added InteractionTypeWeight to InteractionInfo for final interaction. When we set InteractionXsecScaleFactor to enhance CC or NC interaction, this weight used to be merged into propagation weight. Now InteractionInfo has the field to store the parameter and final interaction type weight is separated from propagation weight. Interface of I3NuGInteractionInfo::MakeInteraction was changed for the modification.
DEC 11, 2017 Juan Carlos Diaz-Velez (juancarlos@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Added range check for x-secion tables
DEC 5, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Added SimMode to I3MCWeightDict, for preparation of weighting with LeptonWeighter.
Removed injectionArea parameter from InteractionGeo.h, because this parameter should be same for all particles and filled only once by SourceUtil.cxx.
Added default constructors of super classes for I3NeutrinoPropagator.
Modified DiffuseUtil::GetXsecCGS to match up the latest differential cross section files
NOV 28, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Modified error handring of I3NuGWeightedEvent::MakeFinalInteraction If the arrived inice neutrino’s energy is out of range of cross section, it used to return false immediately. It is OK as long as NuGen simulation is used with detector simulation, because no InIce-visible particle is generated. However, this case gives weird OneWeight when we run NuGen only. To avoid any confusion, interaction weight and column depth is set to 0 if it happens, which result in OneWeight = 0.
Note about handring of Bjorken X,Y that is out of range: When an interaction happens, allowed range of Bjorken X and Y parameter depends on energy and type of generated lepton. However, for now, we have only one final-interaction table (or dsigma-dxdy table in differential cross sections) for all particle type. (this may be changed later for differential cross sections) Currently NuGen retry to sample X and Y if any of them is out of range, however, according to Carlos, it should generate an event with this unphysical X and Y and later the Weighter module should set the weight 0 for such event. For now, I counted number of retry, and most of the number of retry is just 1, so I think effect of retry is negligible. This will show up as warning message, so keep your eyes on it if you really care about low energy events.
NOV 2, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Added control for energy range of neutrinos. If a neutrino’s energy get below the MinEnergy set in I3NuGInteractionInfo, NuGen doesn’t make secondaries. By default the minimum energy is set to 10GeV and maximum energy is 1e12GeV, which is the energy range of csms cross section table.
Modified calculation of scattering angles of secondary particles after an interaction. Old NuGen (set Steering::UseSimpleScatterForm = True) :
Direction of secondary-hadron is same as primary neutrino
Calculation of scattering angle for secondary lepton ignores the mass of lepton
Speed of secondary particles (lepton, hadron) are set to light speed. New NuGen with default setting (Steering::UseSimpleScatterForm = False):
Direction of secondary-hadron is calculated to keep momentum conservation
Calculation of scattering angle for secondary lepton takes into account of mass of lepton
Speed of secondary lepton is calculated with beta factor, while the speed of hadron is set to NAN.
SEP 7, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
I3NuGDiffuseSource and I3NuGPointSource now takes array of particle types for primary particle types. Set PrimaryTypeRatio to modify ratio of generated particle types. NuFlavor parameter is deprecated.
inice_tree_name_parameter in I3NeutrinoGeneratorBase class is removed. Set MCTree name to Steering service instead.Simmode “FINALONLY” is renamed to “DETECTOR”.
New interaction class I3NuGInteractionInfoDifferential is ready to use. This uses differential cross section and total cross section provided by I3CrossSection class, which is also used by LeptonInjector. To use the interaction class, see NuGen.py and set option -d 1 (number could be anything except for 0).
SEP 5, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Due to the change of interface of I3PropagatorService::Propagate applied two years ago, I3NeutrinoPropagator service has been broken for the last two years. The bug is fixed.
I3NuGSourceSelector has been modified to take into account of neutrinos that don’t pass through the detection volume. These neutrinos are never selected(be set selection weight as zero) but counted in NInIceNus parameter in I3MCWeightDict.
MAY 22, 2017 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Jakob found a bug and fixed it in Pickup class. Kotoyo added the bug-fix script(resources/util/fix_inice_selection_weight.py) to fix weights of existing simulation. Run this script before making hdf5 file or extracting information from I3MCWeightDict.
SEP 1, 2016 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
code cleaning
Changed interface of InteractionBase::SelectXY() to adopt using LeptonInjector::CrossSection.
Changed return value of InteractionBase.cxx L246. Influence of this change is negligible for analysis
because the if case happens very rare.
This version will be the last version before adding I3NuGInteractionInfoDifferential class.
JUN 24, 2015 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
more tests added to avoid future error of PropagationWeight (see MAY 8 2015 note)
Some parameters in I3MCWeightDict are renamed. To restore old parameter names, see resources/examples/NuGen.py. See Wiki: Neutrino_Generator/I3MCWeightDict for new parameters.
JUN 14, 2015 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
code cleaning, test implementation of MuonRange extention for NuEBar at Grashow Resonance. When W decays into mu or tau (in total ~21 %), we need to extend detection volume, which wasn’t done in old code. However, as long as we apply contained cascade cut at analysis level, this effect may be negligible. old commit on 5/25(r133059) had a bug.
MAY 8, 2015 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
VERY IMPORTANT BUGFIX for NuEBar CHANNEL (PropagationWeight was wrong) all NuEBar simulations generated with the revision after 121996 (submitted on 7/25/2014) will be affected
December 10, 2014 Kotoyo Hoshina(hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
ListToTree function is modified to not fill duplicated particle(ID) in a MCTree
Removed duplicated codes in I3NeutrinoGeneratorBase.cxx
Added parentID (data member) to Particle class
Particle::GetDaughters() function is changed to const, added AddDaughter() function
Update I3NuGGenie to support genie 2.8.6 (does NOT compatible with old genie)
November 24, 2014 Alex Olivas (olivas@icecube.umd.edu)¶
Fixed a bug where 2 muons were created from one interacion
Recognizes I3_TESTDATA
July 31, 2014 Kotoyo Hoshina (hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
InjectionRadius, ActiveLengthBefore(After), CylinderRadius, CylinderHeight are removed. Use CylinderParams parameter instead.
Bug fix in EnumTypeDef. Unused tests are removed.
InjectionMode::Cylindere is renamed to InjectionMode::Surface, because NuGen don’t know what the shape of sampling surface would be!
Make “AUTODETECT” default for PropagationWeight
July 22, 2014 Kotoyo Hoshina (hoshina@icecube.wisc.edu)¶
Output format has been changed to I3Map<I3ParticleID, double> for SimMode = “InEarth” option
modified resources/util/DrawInEarthPropWeight.py to support both old format and new format
fWorldRadius parameter is added to Steering class, which used to be in earthmodel-service. Users need to adjust the value if they want to inject neutrinos in large radius (>2km).
July 10, 2014 Alex Olivas (olivas@icecube.umd.edu)¶
