This repository contains my old scripts and thesis work comparing muon propagation in matter using PROPOSAL and Geant4.

Initially, I have just uploaded the sripts and files that I used to generate plots that are shown in my thesis. My thesis is also included. For now, if you need to look at the codes, I'd suggest looking at directory inputfile and/or singlegen. These scripts are 3-4 years old and I've not created extensive documentation for them. Therefore, you may find it difficult to understand. My plan is to work on this time to time and polish things up. Please feel free to contact me if need assistance. Email: cyv4sm@virginia.edu

File objective: MyAnalyzerAlongY_module.cc runs Geant4 and stores data in a root file. inputfile_geant_along_y.c takes that root file as input, extract data and stores them in a txt file. inputfile_proposal_along_y.py runs proposal and stores data in a txt file. proposal_geant_prop_dist_comparison_alon_y.py grabs txt files (both proposal and geant4) and creates comparison plots.
