CALL: GET_CLUSTER
The coordinates at which the cluster is produced.
These arguments should not be used if DONE has been set
to True or OK to False.
This 3 arguments should be a simple global variables, not
formulas or constants. The global variables may already exist
before the procedure is called, in which case their contents
will be lost, but they may also be an variables that have
sofar not been used.
The coordinates are returned as numbers with unit cm.
The energy deposited in the cluster.
This argument should not be used if DONE has been set
to True or OK to False.
These energies only have a meaning when using Heed to generate
clusters. If the mean energy to create an electron-ion pair has
been entered in the gas section, then for certain track types
the energy will be set to npair * Epair.
This argument should be a simple global variable, not a formula
or a constant. The global variable may already exist before the
procedure is called, in which case its contents will be lost,
but it may also be an variable that has sofar not been used.
The energy is expressed in MeV.
The number of electrons (and ions) present in the cluster.
This argument should not be used if DONE has been set
to True or OK to False.
This argument should be a simple global variable, not a formula
or a constant. The global variable may already exist before the
procedure is called, in which case its contents will be lost,
but it may also be an variable that has sofar not been used.
This variable is set to True if the present call didn't
result in a cluster, further calls will not result in
clusters either.
Reasons for this to occur are
- the specified number of clusters has been generated already
- the particle has reached the end point of the track
- it has stopped after losing all its energy
Note the difference between this parameter and OK, the latter
is set to False if an error has been detected generating the
clusters, for instance because of buffer overflow in Heed.
DONE is set to False if a cluster has been generated
successfully.
This argument should be a simple global variable, not a formula
or a constant. The global variable may already exist before the
procedure is called, in which case its contents will be lost,
but it may also be an variable that has sofar not been used.
