- Geant4 version 10.1 or later
- cmake >= 3.9
- root 5.34 (root version 6 strongly recommended; ROOT 5 no longer actively supported at JLab)
- python
- git (optional)
See the documentation wiki in the Hall A homepage:

Build using the standard cmake facilities. CTEQ tables built in automatically for DIS
If you would like to get on a mail notification list, contact Andrew Puckett (andrew.puckett@uconn.edu)
IF YOU ARE DOING DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE DO NOT WORK IN THE master BRANCH
You need the BigBite field map for this as well, which can be found
http://hallaweb.jlab.org/12GeV/SuperBigBite/downloads/map_696A.dat
To build immediately after cloning (not in g4sbs/), create a local "build" directory parallel to the source directory. You can run g4sbs directly in the build folder.
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../g4sbs
# see below if you get an error about old versions
makeTo run:
./g4sbs run_example.macrun_example.mac demonstrates most of the features by example
NOTE: On the JLab farm, a newer version of cmake is available
So, if it complains about being too old, try:
/apps/cmake/bin/cmake ../g4sbs #########################################################
+z is down the nominal beam axis
+y is "up" (away from gravity)
+x makes a right handed coordinate system
+z is nominally down the "central axis" in the particle direction
+x is "down" (into the floor)
+y makes a right handed coordinate system

Hits in the GEM chambers have tracking performed on them doing straight line fits with resolutions.
At the moment tracking is done in a very dumb way for simplicity!
It will end up averaging all the hits together if there is more
than one track. It would be wise to ensure that tr.nhit <= 4
