  • specify the charged pion decay type in the StandardRun.mac file, at the line with the tag /decay/pichDecay.
    Available charged pion decay types:
    • 0: pi is passed to Geant4;

    • 1: pi-->mu nu;

  • The generation of the K+ -> pi+pi0, pi+ -> mu+ nu, pi+0 -> gg process is handled in fortran files independent from the NA62MC software. These produce a kdecayggl.txt file containing informations on three final state particles: mu+, gamma, gamma.

  • The generation of the K+ -> pi+pi0, pi+ -> mu+ nu, pi+0 -> gg process is handled by Fortran code independent from the NA62MC software. This produces a kdecayggl.txt file containing informations on three final state particles: mu+, gamma, gamma.
 
  • In src/PrimaryGeneratorAction.cc a new case has been added, in which the kdecayggl.txt file is read and the three input particles are inserted into the NA62 apparatus.
    In the macros/StandardRun.mac file this option can be selected with /beam/SetBeam PionDecayTest.
    The handling of the new parameter has been implemented in src/PrimaryGeneratorMessenger.cc.
