  1 This is an example illustrating the use of the error propagation utility. 
  2 
  3 A G4ErrorFreeTrajState is created to simulate a muon track of 20 GeV along the X axis. Then the track is propagated until the target is reached.
  4 
  5 The geometry is a simplified typical HEP detector:
  6   An air beamline ( BEAM )
  7   An air central detector ( CDET )
  8   A copper calorimeter, divided in four ( ECAL )
  9   An aluminium calorimeter, divided in ten ( HCAL )
 10   An air muon detector ( MUON )
 11 
 12 It is inmersed in a magnetic field along the Z axis with default value -1 kilogauss. This value can be changed with the command "/exerror/setField.
 13 
 14 
 15 The type of target can be chosen with the enviromental variable G4ERROR_TARGET:
 16 
 17   PLANE_SURFACE :  use a G4ErrorPlaneSurfaceTarget perpendicular to X at (2241. mm, 0, 0)
 18   CYL_SURFACE : use a G4ErrorCylSurfaceTarget parallel to Z of radius 2220 mm
 19   VOLUME : use a G4ErrorGeomVolumeTarget with volume name "MUON"
 20   TRKLEN : use a G4ErrorTrackLengthTarget with track length 2230 mm
 21  
 22 
 23 The user may also choose if the propagation is done forwards (the natural way, loosing energy) or backwards (in opposite direction, gaining energy), with the enviromental variable G4ERROR_MODE:
 24  
 25   FORWARDS : propagate in the forward direction
 26   BACKWARDS : propagate in the backward direction
 27 
 28 
 29 There are also two modes of propagation, that can be chosen with the enviromental variable G4ERROR_PROP
 30 
 31   UNTIL_TARGET : propagate until target, all steps in one go
 32   STEP_BY_STEP  propagate until target, returning control to the user at each step
