Passive Volume

This example showcases the definition of passive volumes in the geometry file.

The file example_detector_passive.conf contains a detector of the type test, as well as several passive objects, identified via the key-parameter pair role = "passive". The example shows the four basic objects implemented, while for the volume “sphere1” the “box1” is defined as mother_volume. This implies that the sphere is integrated into the box and that the given position (and orientation, if applicable) are interpreted as specifications relative to the position and orientation of the box mother volume.

Optionally, the VisualizationGeant4 can be used to visualize these objects.

All other modules operate with standard parameters.
