Detailed Description

A GMaterial is constructed from a serialized list of parameters (typically read from a database row or ASCII file) and stores:

• bulk density;
• composition (components + amounts);
• optional optical properties (refractive index, absorption length, etc.);
• optional scintillation properties (yield, time constants, spectra, etc.).

The module treats materials as system-local definitions: a system (GSystem) loads its own materials and associates them to volumes by name.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

GMaterial()

GMaterial::GMaterial	(	const std::string &	system,
		std::vector< std::string >	pars,
		const std::shared_ptr< GLogger > &	logger )

Parameters

system	System name that owns this material (used for provenance/logging).
pars	Serialized material parameters (must match GMATERIALNUMBEROFPARS).
logger	Logger used for diagnostics and error reporting.

The constructor validates pars length against GMATERIALNUMBEROFPARS and then parses the fields. Optical/scintillation properties may be "unset" (typically UNINITIALIZEDSTRINGQUANTITY) and are skipped.

isChemicalFormula()

bool GMaterial::isChemicalFormula ( ) const

Returns

true if the composition likely represents a formula, false otherwise.
