  • All measured times correspond to executions (both of G4 or PD) which don't produce output at all (or produce a minimum logging).
  • MSE is the Mean Squared Error of the position
  • MSE = 1/N * sum_{i=1}^{N} (G4x_i - ANx_i)^2 + (G4y_i - ANy_i)^2
  • N = Number of output points
  • r_Error = sqrt(MSE)
  • max(X_Error) is the maximum of all the absolute errors in x, i.e. max(abs(G4x_i - ANx_i))

Experiment 1 - Vary epsilon in G4

(see August 21 meeting)

/N02/det/stepMax 20. mm (i.e., stepMax = 20mm)
epsilonMax = epsilonMin = epsilon
The mean square error doesn't seem to vary.
The X_Error, however, keeps growing with distance.

A few plots for different values of epsilon:


The 3 plots look exactly the same!
The output for those epsilon values is different, though.

Experiment 2 - Vary stepMax in G4

/N02/prec/setEpsilonMin 1.0e-3 (i.e, epsilon = 1.0e-3)
/N02/prec/setEpsilonMax 1.0e-3
Errors were measured for first 2 km (the file size for 10 km in the case of stepMax=0.2mm was too big)

Although all the errors look similar, there is a clear and counterintuitive tendency for the error to become smaller as stepMax is increased.

Experiment 3 - Vary DeltaQ in PD

Simulated with QSS3 method
DeltaQmin = DeltaQ * 1e-3
Several values of the table were left blank deliberately as they weren't calculated yet
