GEANT steps into the future

Conference ·
OSTI ID:54083
The algorithms and software developed to produce a computer generated movie on HEP simulations are explained. The GEANT program is used to design and visualize the detectors and to simulate LHC events. The PAW program is used to store such events and to produce a sequence of frames for animation. The geometrical modeling and the new tracking system of GEANT 3.21 will be explained in more detail, together with the ray-tracing technique developed for visualization purposes. The PAW ntuples then allow the temporal sorting of the particles positions and the storing of the GEANT 3.21 images and kinematics. Finally, how to produce a time sequence showing the real development of a simulated event will be analyzed.
