68 By default, G4RunManager does not save the 81 By default, G4RunManager does not save the rndm seed.
69 To do so the user must set in BeginOfRunAct 82 To do so the user must set in BeginOfRunAction:
70 G4RunManager::GetRunManager()->SetRandomNum 83 G4RunManager::GetRunManager()->SetRandomNumberStore(true);
71 84
72 Then the rndm seed is systematically saved 85 Then the rndm seed is systematically saved at beginning of run
73 (currentRun.rndm) and beginning of event (c 86 (currentRun.rndm) and beginning of event (currentEvent.rndm)
74 Therefore, in case of abnormal end, the see 87 Therefore, in case of abnormal end, the seed of the last event processed
75 is available in currentEvent.rndm 88 is available in currentEvent.rndm

77 Even in case of normal run processing, the 90 Even in case of normal run processing, the user may wish to preserve the
78 rndm seed of selected events. At any time i 91 rndm seed of selected events. At any time in the event, put the
