Sat Mar 3 11:36:57 UTC 2018 - bugs@vdm-design.de
- Update to version 3.6
All packages:
- Migration to Geant4 10.4
Geant4 VMC:
- Improved VGM messenger: the VGM objects are created only when processing a
command. (This prevents from creating an empty ROOT geometry named VGM which
name may then persist in a user real geometry.)
Tested with Geant4 10.04 (with embedded CLHEP 2.4.0.0)
Root 6.12/04 and 5.34/36, VGM 4.4, Garfield v1.0
version 3.5:
Geant4 VMC:
- Implemented new TVirtualMC functions TrackPosition|Momentum(Float_t& ...)
- Added calls to new TVirtualMCApplication non-const functions for MT
- Let execute at rest processes when stopping a particle via user tracking cut:
this makes the behavior as in Geant3
- Added a new command which allows to activate skipping neutrinos in external decayer
(this feature is switched off by default since this version):
/mcPhysics/skipExtDecayerNeutrino true|false
- Take into account tracking medium parameter 'ifield = 0':
- Set zero magnetic field to logical volumes assoiciated with tracking medium
with 'ifield = 0' if global magnetic field is defined.
- The feature must be activated with a new command:
/mcDet/setIsZeroMagField true
- Added new command for setting gamma to muons cross section factor:
/mcPhysics/setGammaToMuonsCrossSectionFactor value
MTRoot
- Do not include TMCAutoLock in MTRoot installation since Root version 6.08/06;
the class was moved in Root since this version
Fixes:
All packages:
- Fixes in CMake build:
- Handle also a case when -std flag is not defined in root-config --cflags
- Do not override CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR (thanks to Dennis Klein, GSI)
- Add support for ROOT compiled with C++14 (thanks to Dario Berzano, CERN)
Geant4 VMC:
- Fixed implementations for performance optimization applied in 3.4:
- Do not cache pointer to stepping action as this made calls to VMC functions
inavailable in initialization.
- Added new function TG4RunManager::CacheMCStack() called from
TG4PrimaryGeneratorAction::GeneratePrimaries so that the stack can
be defined by the user up to MCApplication::BeginEvent at latest
- Do not skip neutrinos in TG4ExtDecayer by default;
(requirement from Thomas Ruf, ShipSoft)
- Added AnnihiToMuPair, ee2hadr, GammaToMuPair processes in the VMC process maps
which were missing
Examples:
- Exclude ExGarfield from compilation and tests with Root 6
(as Garfield++ requires Root 5x)
Tested with Geant4 10.03.p03 (with embedded CLHEP 2.3.4.3.)
Root 5.34/36, 6.11/02 and 6.10/08(*), VGM 4.4, Garfield v1.0
(*) + fix in TGeoManager required when running in Geant4 multi-threaded mode
(git commit 971ef8af82)
version 3.4:
All packages:
- Migration to Geant4 10.3.p01
Geant4 VMC:
- Implemented new commands to define radiator properties:
and removed hard-coded values from TG4TransitionRadiationPhysics.
- Changes for performance optimization (according to suggestion by S, Wenzel, CERN):
- Cache pointers to the thread-local static in data members of client classes
- Set the default build mode to RelWithDebInfo (thanks to S. Wenzel, CERN)
Examples:
- Example Garfield renamed to ExGarfield
- Example TR: Define radiator via new commands
- Example E03:
Changes for performance optimization (according to suggestion by S, Wenzel, CERN):
- Cache pointers to the thread-local static in data members of client classes
Fixes:
Geant4 VMC:
- Fix in transforming primaries from TParticle to G4PrimaryParticle:
do not override the user defined mass with the PDG mass
- thanks to Oliver Freyermuth (Physics Institute of the University of Bonn).
- Fixed in applying stack popper process
Do not force the exclusive step when the parent track is suspended;
this fixes the problem observed in ALICE simulation.
- Fixed compilation with gcc 4.9.3 and 5.3.0
- thanks to Oliver Freyermuth (Physics Institute of the University of Bonn).
- Fixed CMake warning (policy CMP0042)
- Fixed handling the default zero value for argv in TG4RunManager:
(JIRA bug report VMC-7)
Tested with Geant4 10.03.p01 (with embedded CLHEP 2.3.4.3.)
Root 5.34/36 and Root 6.08/06, VGM 4.4, Garfield v1.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri May 20 08:47:50 UTC 2016 - bugs@vdm-design.de
- Update to version v3-3:
* Geant4 VMC:
- Integration of fast simulation based on the Geant4 framework:
- Added TG4VUserFastSimulation base class for user defined
fast simulation models
- Added TG4GflashFastSimulation and its messenger:
this makes possible to activate Gflash fast simulation via an option in
the configuration macro
- Added support for transition radiation physics:
- Added TG4TransitionRadiation physics builder, according to
the Geant4 extended example TestEm10
- Added new command to define a radiator:
/mcDet/setRadiator ...
- Implemented command to override the default G4 production cuts table energy range:
- /mcPhysics/productionCutsTableEnergyRange
(used in the Garfield example)
* Examples:
- Added new examples:
- Gflash - use of Geant4 GFlash fast simulation
- Garfield - integration of Garfield++ using Geant4 fast simulation framework
- TR - use of Geant4 transition radiation physics
- All new examples use features of Geant4; when run with Geant3 the Geant3
standard configuration & physics is used
- The examples should be run in sequential mode.
Fixes:
* Geant4 VMC:
- Fix in TG4ParticlesManager::CreateDynamicParticle(TParticle*):
the particle polarization was not propagated from TParticle to Geant4;
this affected the particles added to tracking by the user via stackPopper
- Fixed deleting TG4SpecialControlsV2 instance in MT mode
* Examples:
- In E06: fixed in cloning MCApplication on workers
- Add patch geant4-vmc-fix-includedirs.patch:
Resolve relative paths in ROOT_GENERATE_DICTIONARY cmake macro
rootcint does not like /usr/include in the include path,
therefore this directory is removed from the include dir list,
but clhep adds this directory with a relative path,
therefore convert all relative path to absolute path so it can be removed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Fri Aug 21 11:53:02 UTC 2015 - bugs@vdm-design.de
- Update to version 3.2:
Geant4 VMC:
- Added support for local magnetic fields.
- Added cached magnetic field and a related UI command :
/mcMagneticField/setConstDistance value unit
The cached magnetic field is created automatically when
the ConstDistance parameter is set to a non zero value.
- Added a possibility to include a user defined magnetic field equation of motion
and its integrator
- Integrated a new special UrbanMsc model adapted for ALICE EMCAL by V. Ivantchenko
and introduced a new set of commands (which do not allow invalid configurations):
/mcPhysics/emModel/setEmModel modelName
/mcPhysics/emModel/setParticles particleName1 particleName2 ...
/mcPhysics/emModel/setRegions regionName1 regionName2 ...
Examples:
- E03: Added a test configuration for including a user defined magnetic field equation
of motion and its integrator in example E03 and included the test in test suites
- E06: Added test for adding tracks in VMC stack by user (in E06 example)
- A01: Implemented option for use of local magnetic field and
added a test with use of local fields in test suites
Fixes:
Geant4 VMC:
- Fixed TG4StackPopper class handling adding particles on the stack
from the user application. The user tracks generated at the last step of parent track
were not popped to the stack.
- Fixed implementation of TVirtualMC::IsTrackDisappeared():
return false if fSuspend, true if fStopAndKill.
- Use G4PAIPhotModel instead of G4PAIPhotonModel (recommended since Geant4 10.00)
- Fixed the expected names of output-files from rootcint (required by CMake 3.2.x):
- thanks to Oliver Freyermuth (Physics Institute of the University of Bonn).
G4Root (A. Gheata):
Fixed boundary crossing errors (by A. Gheata)
- This error was due to the G4 field propagator which was exiting
some volume inside the mother and expecting a non-zero step, but in fact
was entering a daughter volume right away.
This fixes killing tracks by G4PropagatorInField as:
*** G4Exception : GeomNav1002
issued by : G4PropagatorInField::ComputeStep()
Particle is stuck; it will be killed.
Zero progress for 51 attempted steps.
Proposed Step is 1.78471e-05 but Step Taken is 1.78471e-05
in volume TPC_Drift
*** This is just a warning message. ***
