FTFGenerator¶

To generate FTF background events two different methods are available:

Generate via the stand alone FTFGen executable a root file which is then included in the simulation makro. This method gives access to all parameters from the FTF generator. See FTFExternalGenerator for a description.

Use a wrapper around the FTF Generator called PndFtfDirect which allows the call of FTF directly in the simulation macro.

class PndFtfDirect : public PndTargetGenerator¶

The PndFtfDirect generates FTF events using the Geant4 Code and inserts the tracks into the PndStack via the FairPrimaryGenerator. Derived from FairGenerator.

Caveat: There are some files included directly inside the code, as it was provided in the executable by the original authors. This should be restructured.
