Member Function Documentation

DeclareInterfaceID()

ISensitiveDetector::DeclareInterfaceID	(	ISensitiveDetector	,
		1	,
		0
	)

Creates the InterfaceID and interfaceID() method.

Gather()

virtual StatusCode ISensitiveDetector::Gather ( )

pure virtual

Method to be called at the end of the athena event.

This is where the hit collection should be uploaded into StoreGate. The G4VSensitiveDetector already provides an end of G4 event method. In old-style simulation, there is only one G4 event per athena event. In ISF, there could be many.

initializeSD()

virtual StatusCode ISensitiveDetector::initializeSD ( )

pure virtual

Method to initialize the SD itself - this is our hook for initialization in G4, since in a multi-threaded setup the SDs are local and they might need to be initialized in each thread.

Saves us using the AlgTool's initialize() for this.

makeSD()

virtual G4VSensitiveDetector* ISensitiveDetector::makeSD ( ) const

protectedpure virtual

Method to make the actual SD itself, which will be owned by the tool.

Must be implemented in all concrete base classes.

SetupEvent()

virtual StatusCode ISensitiveDetector::SetupEvent ( )

pure virtual

Method to be called at the beginning of the athena event.

This is where the hit collections should be set up, if need be. G4VSensitiveDetector has an Initialize() method for the beginning of the G4 event as well.
