Outline
The EGS Shower Display system (CGVIEW) is used to display three-dimensional particle trajectories of electrons, positrons and photons on a windows PC. The data of particles' trajectories are calculated by using the EGS code system.
The first EGS particle trajectory display system was developed for a graphic terminal of an IBM main-frame computer. Then, EGS4_Windows_2 was made using the PHIGS package on a UNIX workstation. The EGS particle trajectory display system for MS-DOS PC was developed at KEK, and updated for the windows PC. However, only the cylinder and slab geometry can be displayed on this system.
It is possible to describe a complicated geometry using "Combinatorial Geometry (CG)" in the EGS calculation. The EGS Shower Display system (CGVIEW) is used to display three-dimensional particle trajectories of electrons, positrons and photons together with the geometry described in CG. It is possible to check if the geometry is properly input or not on a three-dimensional display using CGVIEW. The time to prepare the geometry may be reduced by using CGVIEW.
