Geant4 11.2 - patch-02 Release Notes
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
21 June 2024
|
||||
|
||||
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 11.2.1:
|
||||
|
||||
o Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ CMake:
|
||||
o Fix to do not export HDF5 version to Geant4Config.
|
||||
o Fixed find_package(SoXt) and find_package(SoWin).
|
||||
o In main CMake source script, VTK driver library requires the application
|
||||
of VTK's vtk_module_autoinit cmake function, but the existence of the
|
||||
target was not checked, leading to configure time errors. Check for the
|
||||
existence of both G4visVTK and G4visVTK-static targets before applying
|
||||
vtk_module_autoinit. Addressing problem report #2600.
|
||||
o Mention the possibility of using cvmfs datasets in the cmake configuration.
|
||||
o Updated FindPythia6 module to account for lib64.
|
||||
Applies GitHub PR#63 (https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/63).
|
||||
o Disabled use of FindPythia6 outside of internal Geant4 examples.
|
||||
o Updated FindPythia8 module to reduce capability to only that required by
|
||||
py8decayer example and emit error if used in project outside Geant4 or
|
||||
py8decayer. Applies GitHub PR#68 (https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/68).
|
||||
o Fixed escaping of regex in geant4_module_check to satisfy latest Python3.
|
||||
o Updated dataset: G4NDL-4.7.1.
|
||||
|
||||
o Analysis
|
||||
--------
|
||||
+ Do not delete G4Accumulable<T> default constructor, as it prevents from
|
||||
using it in an array without an explicit initialization in the header.
|
||||
+ Fixed wrong conversion to G4String in G4THnToolsManager, leading to
|
||||
compilation error on gcc compiler with C++23 Standard enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Digits_Hits
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
+ Fixed compilation error in G4THitsMap on macOS/clang with C++23 Standard
|
||||
enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
o Externals
|
||||
---------
|
||||
+ g4tools:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation warnings on gcc when LTO settings are enabled.
|
||||
o Fixed string assignments in 'window' and 'pixwin', to support either
|
||||
UNICODE or UTF-16 encoding on Windows. Addressing problem report #2599.
|
||||
+ ptl:
|
||||
o Changed Windows.h to windows.h, to allow build Windows/MinGW.
|
||||
Not relevant for native VC++ builds.
|
||||
|
||||
o Geometry
|
||||
--------
|
||||
+ magnetic_field:
|
||||
o Fixed potential uninitialised data, detected in ATLAS LTO builds.
|
||||
+ navigation:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error in G4Navigator on Windows VC++ with C++20 Standard
|
||||
enabled. Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
+ solids/specific:
|
||||
o Use std::size_t for array sizes in G4PolyhedraSide and G4PolyPhiFace,
|
||||
fixing compilation warnings on gcc when LTO settings are enabled.
|
||||
+ volumes:
|
||||
o Use std::map instead of std::vector to define G4LogicalSkinSurfaceTable,
|
||||
to speedup search of skin surfaces in large tables, as already done
|
||||
previously for G4LogicalBorderSurface. Addressing problem report #2598.
|
||||
|
||||
o Global
|
||||
------
|
||||
+ Changed Windows.h to windows.h, to allow build Windows/MinGW.
|
||||
Not relevant for native VC++ builds. Use _WIN32 to detect Windows system.
|
||||
+ Fixed compilation error in G4PhysicsModelCatalog on Windows VC++ with
|
||||
C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
+ Provide helpful error message when GEANT4_DATA_DIR is set to an invalid
|
||||
location.
|
||||
+ Updated date and version for 11.2.2.
|
||||
|
||||
o Intercoms
|
||||
---------
|
||||
+ G4UIparsing: checking either 'int' or 'long int' parameter value are
|
||||
within range of G4int or G4long.
|
||||
+ Fix in G4GenericMessenger::DeclareMethod() which was wrongly converting
|
||||
valid Boolean parameters. Improved SetNewValue() function.
|
||||
Addressing problem report #2606.
|
||||
|
||||
o Interfaces
|
||||
----------
|
||||
+ Use std::size_t as arrays size in G4InteractorMessenger and G4UIArrayString,
|
||||
fixing compilation warnings on gcc when LTO settings are enabled
|
||||
+ Fixed string assignments in G4Win32 and G4UIWin32, to support either
|
||||
UNICODE or UTF-16 encoding on Windows. Addressing problem report #2599.
|
||||
|
||||
o Materials
|
||||
---------
|
||||
+ Fix in G4NistMaterialBuilder::HepAndNuclearMaterials(): G4_BRASS,
|
||||
G4_BRONZE and G4_STAILESS_STEEL are now defined using mass fractions
|
||||
of components instead of number of atoms, in order to have more natural
|
||||
description. Addressing problem report #2601.
|
||||
Results may be changed on level of 10^-5 due to numerical differences.
|
||||
|
||||
o Persistency
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
+ GDML:
|
||||
o Disabled schema validation on Windows platforms, as XercesC currently does
|
||||
support only 'http'.
|
||||
o Fix in schema module gdml_solids.xsd for tessellated solid semantics, to
|
||||
correctly reference facet types. Fixes schema validation errors which may
|
||||
occur on some custom XSD validation tools (fix included in GDML-3.1.7).
|
||||
o Use std::map instead of std::vector to iterate on logical-skin surfaces
|
||||
in G4GDMLWriteStructure::GetSkinSurface().
|
||||
Part of fix addressing problem report #2598.
|
||||
|
||||
o Physics Lists
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ lists:
|
||||
o G4PhysListFactory: added three new variants of 'Shielding' physics list,
|
||||
using the model G4LightIonQMDReaction: 'ShieldingLIQMD', 'ShieldingLIQMD_HP'
|
||||
and 'ShieldingLIQMD_HPT'. Addressing problem report #2615.
|
||||
Note that 'ShieldingLIQMD' and 'ShieldingLIQMD_HP' refer to the same
|
||||
configuration, the latter is introduced only for consistency.
|
||||
|
||||
o Processes - Electromagnetic
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
+ dna:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error on Windows VC++ with C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Added missing declarations for TG4MoleculeShoot specialisations on G4Track.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error on macOS/clang with C++23 enabled, for the use
|
||||
of std::function in G4OctreeFinder.
|
||||
+ standard:
|
||||
o G4BetheHeitler5DModel: fixed computation of sinTheta sampling and added
|
||||
checks on arguments of G4Exp in SampleSecondaries() method, to avoid FPE
|
||||
problems in the case of -O3 optimisation on alma9.
|
||||
+ utils:
|
||||
o G4EmUtility: simplified computation of cross-section maximum for
|
||||
discrete processes to fix FPE issues on alma9 when -O3 compiler
|
||||
option is used.
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error in G4EmConfigurator on Windows VC++ with
|
||||
C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
|
||||
o Processes - Hadronic
|
||||
--------------------
|
||||
+ models/binary_cascade:
|
||||
o Removed throwing of exception if momentum cannot be corrected in rare
|
||||
cases for D + H around 1600 MeV; the initial state is now kept unchanged
|
||||
instead.
|
||||
+ models/coherent_elastic:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation warnings for potentially initialised local variables
|
||||
in SampleThetaCMS() for G4DiffuseElastic and G4NuclNuclDiffuseElastic.
|
||||
+ models/lend:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation warnings for potentially initialised local variables
|
||||
in ptwXY_createFromFunctionZeroCrossing().
|
||||
o Define _USE_MATH_DEFINES before inclusion of <cmath> to define
|
||||
non-standard math macros such as M_PI on Windows. Use _WIN32 instead of
|
||||
WIN32 to detect Windows system. Use basetsd.h instead of BaseTsd.h to
|
||||
allow for compilation on Windows/MinGW.
|
||||
+ models/inclxx:
|
||||
o Fix in G4INCLInteractionAvatar to not use local energy for all antibaryons.
|
||||
+ models/particle_hp:
|
||||
o G4CrossSectionHP: fixed method taking into account temperature effect
|
||||
(the difference due to this fix is small).
|
||||
Fixed elastic and capture cross-sections in Argon, by using only the main
|
||||
isotope Z=18, A=40 (there was up to 50% overestimation of cross-sections
|
||||
due to wrong data for rare isotopes of argon).
|
||||
Fixed cross-sections for rare target atoms Promethium, Astatine, Radon
|
||||
and Francium.
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error in G4ParticleHPManager and G4ParticleHPNames on
|
||||
Windows VC++ with C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
o Fixed remaining compilation warnings on gcc compiler when LTO settings
|
||||
are enabled.
|
||||
+ radioactive_decay:
|
||||
o G4BetaPlusDecay, G4BetaMinusDecay: added extra numerical protection on
|
||||
level of 1 eV to avoid precision lost and production of neutrino with
|
||||
negative kinetic energy. In case Q-value is bigger than mass difference,
|
||||
betas in the tail of the spectrum may have more energy than residual free
|
||||
energy. To minimize the non-conservation of 4-momentum, in such cases,
|
||||
neutrino and daughter nucleus are given 1 eV, leading to non conservation
|
||||
of linear momentum because momentum of beta is not counterbalanced.
|
||||
|
||||
o processes - solidstate/phonon
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
+ Fixed compilation error in G4LatticeManager on Windows VC++ with
|
||||
C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
|
||||
o processes/optical
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
+ G4OpBoundaryProcess: correctly calculate Fresnel reflection/refraction,
|
||||
when material property TRANSMITTANCE is specified. The ratio of Fresnel
|
||||
reflection/refraction now does not change when a non-zero transmission is
|
||||
specified. Previously, if transmission of X% was specified, there would be
|
||||
transmission of X% as expected, but the ratio of Fresnel refraction to
|
||||
Fresnel reflection would be set to X%. Addressing problem report #2578.
|
||||
|
||||
o Track
|
||||
-----
|
||||
+ Fixed compilation error in G4VParticleChange on Windows VC++ with
|
||||
C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
Based on [GitHub PR#69](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/69).
|
||||
|
||||
o Visualization
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
+ management:
|
||||
o G4VisExecutive: fixed use of static symbol 'fVerbosity' and replaced
|
||||
with call to dedicated static method, to avoid linkage problems on Windows.
|
||||
+ Qt3D:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error on Windows for ambiguous string assignment in
|
||||
G4Qt3DSceneHandler::CreateNewNode().
|
||||
+ Vtk:
|
||||
o Porting code to compile on Windows Visual-Studio.
|
||||
o Fixed Ubuntu 22 & VTK 9.1 compilation error.
|
||||
|
||||
o Data
|
||||
----
|
||||
+ G4NDL-4.7.1:
|
||||
o Removed all files for Argon-36 and Argon-38 as significantly different
|
||||
from those of ENDF/B-VIII.0.
|
||||
o Reprocessed thermal scattering files after fixing a problem in NJOY.
|
||||
Addressing problem report #2552.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
+ advanced/ChargeExchangeMC
|
||||
o Disabled GDML schema validation.
|
||||
+ advanced/hadrontherapy:
|
||||
o Fixed compilation error on Windows VC++ with C++20 Standard enabled.
|
||||
+ medical_linac:
|
||||
