Home page of the FOOT simulation software

The simulation framework

The FOOT simulation is performed using the FLUKA software package.

Running the simulation: how to

There are several steps needed to get, compile, run, access the simulation output.

Getting the code

The instructions to download the code are available in the FOOT software page.

Compiling and running

As a prerequisite for running a simulation you need a valid installation of the FLUKA software.

You have to setup the $FLUPRO, $FLUTIL and $FLUFOR variables before compiling the code (help with the FLUKA installation phase is provided in the FLUKA web page, FLUKA mailing lists and, if everything else failed, from the FOOT FLUKA "experts": V. Patera, G. Battistoni, A. Sarti). Once everything is installed and setup, you can compile the code and run the simulation. Instructions can be found in the following presentatation FOOT_simulation.pdf.

To learn about the user routines used in FOOT simulations: FLUKA_in_pills.pdf and FLUKA_UserRoutines.pdf

Event reconstruction

The reconstruction of the decoded MC events is accomplished using the reconstruction software documented in the related web page.

Presently available simulation output files

On the tier3 there are Root output files of simulation available as reference for the study of detector performances. They are documented in the related web page
