The experimental set-up at the PTB laboratory at BESSY-II. The XRF chamber can be seen to be attached to the end of the Four Crystal Monochromator (FCM) beamline. Data for comparison have been taken during a test beam at BESSY laboratories. The application is CPU consuming, so it has been interfaced to the GRID thanks to the DIANE framework Si FCM beamline Si reference XRF chamber GaAs Execution Times are reduced of an order of magnitude (750 Mevents -> 24 Hours) A GEANT4 application has been created reproducing: • Experimental set-up • Materials • Detectors IEEE NSS -- Portland, Thursday, Oct 23, 2003 Application – DIANE talk: DIANE -- Distributed Analysis Environment for GRID-enabled Simulation and Analysis of Physics Data (Friday 24th October) Alfonso.Mantero@cern.ch
