Detailed Description

class allpix::DetectorModel;

Base of all detector models.

Implements the minimum required for a detector model. A model always has a pixel grid with a specific pixel size. The pixel grid defines the base size of the sensor, chip and support. Excess length can be specified. Every part of the detector model has a defined center and size which can be overloaded by specialized detector models. The basic detector model also defines the rotation center in the local coordinate system.

Public Functions Documentation

function factory

static std::shared_ptr< DetectorModel > factory(
    const std::string & name,
    const ConfigReader & reader
)

Factory to dynamically create detector model objects.

Parameters:

• name Name of the model
• reader Reader with the configuration for this model

Return: Detector model instantiated from the configuration

function is

template <class T >
inline bool is()

Helper method to determine if this detector model is of a given type The template parameter needs to be specified specifically, i.e. if(model->is()) { }.

Return: Boolean indication whether this model is of the given type or not

function DetectorModel

explicit DetectorModel(
    std::string type,
    std::shared_ptr< DetectorAssembly > assembly,
    const ConfigReader & reader,
    const Configuration & config
)

Constructs the base detector model.

Parameters:

• type Name of the model type
• assembly Detector assembly object with information about ASIC and packaging
• reader Configuration reader with description of the model
• config Configuration holding the empty section of the configuration file

function ~DetectorModel

virtual ~DetectorModel() =default

Essential virtual destructor.

function getConfigurations

std::vector< Configuration > getConfigurations() const

Get the configuration associated with this model.

Return: Configuration used to construct the model

function getType

inline const std::string & getType() const

Get the type of the model.

Return: Model type

function getAssembly

inline const std::shared_ptr< DetectorAssembly > getAssembly() const

function getMatrixCenter

inline virtual ROOT::Math::XYZPoint getMatrixCenter() const

Get local coordinate of the position and rotation center in global frame.

Note: It can be a bit counter intuitive that this is not usually the origin, neither the geometric center of the model, but the geometric center of the sensitive part. This way, the position of the sensing element is invariant under rotations

Reimplemented by: allpix::HexagonalPixelDetectorModel::getMatrixCenter, allpix::RadialStripDetectorModel::getMatrixCenter

The center coordinate corresponds to the position in the global frame.

function getModelCenter

virtual ROOT::Math::XYZPoint getModelCenter() const

Get local coordinate of the geometric center of the model.

Note: This returns the center of the geometry model, i.e. including all support layers, passive readout chips et cetera.

function getSize

virtual ROOT::Math::XYZVector getSize() const

Get size of the wrapper box around the model that contains all elements.

Return: Size of the detector model

Reimplemented by: allpix::RadialStripDetectorModel::getSize

All elements of the model are covered by a box centered around DetectorModel::getModelCenter. This means that the extend of the model should be calculated using the geometrical center as reference, not the position returned by DetectorModel::getMatrixCenter.

Return: Either the implant in which the position is located, or false

If the implant is defined as 3D volume in the detector model, this method returns true if the given position is found within the implant volume. If the impland is configured with two dimensions only, i.e. an area on the sensor surface, the additional depth parameter is used to create a volume within which carriers are considered inside the implant.
