Validation

GRIFFIN Simulation Validation & Testing Assets

Software Test

Currently, /validation.mac is our validation macro; it declares one GRIFFIN HPGe, and fires a bunch of gamma rays at it.

Todo:

• Declare full GRIFFIN array
• Deploy BGOs
  • In DetectionSystemGriffinSuppressed.cc, BM set this->include_back_suppressors=true and G4String include_BGO = "y"; this appears to turn on back suppressors.

Physics Validation

The current 'did-I-break-it' validation.mac test is adequate for refactoring cycles, but needs to be expanded greatly for eventual promotion to a physics validation test.

Todo:

• Define more realistic / interesting physics to simulate
• Spec real physics data type and format for use in validation
• Produce analysis script to assess quality of physics validation
