TRIPOLI-4 allows full simulation results to be recorded in
ROOT track files, by closely following a methodology initially proposed
for high-energy particle physics. These track files store all
events undergone by the particles during the simulation (boundary
crossing, collisions, and so on). At each event, the track structure
associates information such as the weight of the particle, its position,
the identifier of the collided nucleus, and so on.
Such track
files can be then analyzed by the user by resorting to the T4RootTools.
These tools allow particle histories to be visualized, standard
tallies to be computed based on tracks, and user-defined tallies to
be also calculated.
Moreover, a plug-in for the ROOT TTree structure,
is provided as well, which is well-suited for massive data
mining.
