|
|
|
List of fixes included in this public patch since the public release 9.2:
|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Configure script: corrected handling of G4LEDATA and G4LEVELGAMMADATA
|
|
paths in generated configuration scripts.
|
|
Addresses problem report #1037 and #1039.
|
|
+ common.gmk, globlib.gmk source/GNUmakefile: remove moc sources in clean
|
|
targets.
|
|
+ Linux-g++.gmk: simplified Qt setup to conform to standard Qt installation.
|
|
+ Added -lXi to X11LIBS for Linux-g++, Linux-icc and WIN32-g++
|
|
configurations, required for correct linkage with OpenInventor Coin3D
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
o Digits_Hits:
|
|
-----------
|
|
+ Fixed incorrect volume size for cylindrical parameterized volume used
|
|
in various scorers.
|
|
|
|
o Geometry:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ navigation:
|
|
o Fixed problem in G4BrentLocator::EstimateIntersectionPoint() responsible
|
|
for rare cases of negative steps.
|
|
o Added G4RegularNavigationHelper class, used by G4RegularNavigation for
|
|
counting the number of step lengths in each voxel of the regular
|
|
structure. Forgotten inclusion in 9.2.
|
|
o Some code cleanup...
|
|
+ solids/specific:
|
|
o Fix in G4Paraboloid::DistanceToOut(p,v,..) for the computation of
|
|
normal to surface; added missing normalisation to unit, following
|
|
remark in the Geometry Forum Hypernews posting #953.
|
|
|
|
o Global:
|
|
------
|
|
+ Correction in management/GNUmakefile to CPPFLAGS, adding G4RF_DEBUG
|
|
in case enabled.
|
|
+ Changed date for patch-01 to release 9.2.
|
|
|
|
o Low-energy Electromagnetic Processes:
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
+ Suppressed warning message in Penelope PhotoElectric process
|
|
(G4PenelopePhotoElectric and G4PenelopePhotoElectricModel) from
|
|
G4AtomicTransitionManager appearing for some elements (Oxygen, Fluorine).
|
|
+ Corrected energy limits in G4CrossSectionIonisationBornPartial.
|
|
+ Added proton case in G4CrossSectionExcitationMillerGreenPartial
|
|
and added protection for water excitation energy.
|
|
+ Added 'kill particle without total energy deposit' feature for
|
|
DNA charge change processes.
|
|
+ Added protections against FPE in G4hLowEnergyLoss.
|
|
+ Fixes problem report 953 (also report in Hypernews EM forum #893).
|
|
+ Fixed bug for ICRU73 ion model.
|
|
|
|
o Materials:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ G4MaterialStoppingICRU73: added 4 missing materials from ICRU'73.
|
|
+ G4SimpleMaterialStoppingICRU73: fixed typo in density of Mo.
|
|
|
|
o Hadronic Processes:
|
|
------------------
|
|
+ cross_sections:
|
|
o Improvements for clearing of memory at end of application:
|
|
+ G4CrossSectionDataStore: added Clean() method; constructor and
|
|
destructor no longer inline; added destruction of data sets;
|
|
use std::vector instead of flat arrays.
|
|
+ G4CrossSectionDataSetRegistry: new singleton to keep pointers to
|
|
cross-section data sets.
|
|
+ G4VCrossSectiondataSet: constructor and detructor no longer inline;
|
|
added registration/deregistration mechanism.
|
|
+ management:
|
|
o G4HadronicProcessStore: activated destruction of processes at
|
|
application closure; added Clean() method and cleanup of model and
|
|
cross section stores.
|
|
+ models/cascade:
|
|
o Corrected absorption coefficient to be set to 1.0 instead of 0.2
|
|
inside G4CascadSpecialFunctions. Small differences are observed for
|
|
calorimeter observables in Bertini physics-lists, resulting in slightly
|
|
wider lateral shower shapes.
|
|
+ models/chiral_inv_phase_space/interface
|
|
o Added de-registration in destructor of G4QCaptureAtRest.
|
|
o Added string decay destruction to G4ElectroNuclearReaction.
|
|
+ models/de_excitation:
|
|
o Added smearing of Coloumb barriers for d, t, he3 and alpha particles.
|
|
o Fix in G4FissionProbability for computation of EmissionProbability();
|
|
returned value was wrong due to missing parenthesis in the
|
|
implementation of the formula.
|
|
o Fix to substitute 'hbar_Plank' with 'hbarc' in G4EvaporationProbability.
|
|
o Fixed leaks in singleton classes in the util module.
|
|
o Corrected some inlining of constructors/destructors for base classes
|
|
and usage of virtual specification.
|
|
+ models/management:
|
|
o G4HadronicInteractionRegistry: modified to conform to singleton
|
|
definition.
|
|
o G4HadronicInteraction, G4InelasticInteraction: made constructor,
|
|
destructor and some other methods not inline.
|
|
+ models/photolepton_hadron/muon_nuclear
|
|
o Added de-registration of G4MuNuclearInteraction process.
|
|
+ models/pre_equilibrium:
|
|
o G4PreCompoundIon: fixed probability of light ion emission.
|
|
o G4PreCompoundXXX: added decrease of Coulomb barrier for d, t, a, he3.
|
|
o Some cleanup of comments and formatting...
|
|
+ stopping:
|
|
o Activated registration/de-registration for all LHEP processes.
|
|
+ util:
|
|
o G4StableIsotopes: filled in missing isotope names.
|
|
|
|
o Generic Processes:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
+ Optical:
|
|
o Fix to G4OpBoundaryProcess to address problem report #1040.
|
|
|
|
o Persistency:
|
|
-----------
|
|
+ ascii:
|
|
o Fix in delta theta for handling of G4Sphere, and renaming 'phiTotal'
|
|
to 'phiDelta' for the relevant solids in G4tgbVolume implementation.
|
|
o Bug fix in definition of delta angle for all solids with section in
|
|
Phi in G4tgbVolume. Take into consideration tolerance.
|
|
+ gdml:
|
|
o Fixed association of entities in nested loops for solids and materials.
|
|
o Strip off white spaces from names G4GDMLWrite::GenerateName(), to avoid
|
|
parsing problems in imported files.
|
|
o Corrected treatment of brackets and indeces for matrices in
|
|
G4GDMLEvaluator. Fixes problem report #1048.
|
|
o Fix in G4GDMLStructure class for missing caching of auxiliary
|
|
information from child modules, causing auxiliary information defined
|
|
within separated modules to get lost and therefore not assigned to
|
|
volumes. Fixes problem report #1049.
|
|
o Changed post-fix"_refl" to "_PV" for placements made through the
|
|
reflection-factory.
|
|
o Added possibility to check overlaps by activating/de-activating the
|
|
built-in surface check for placement and parameterised volumes.
|
|
By default the overlap check is off. To activate it, use call to the
|
|
parser 'SetOverlapCheck(true)' before reading the GDML file.
|
|
Required for resolving overlap issues fixed above.
|
|
|
|
o Particles:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ Fixed values of masses for light ions.
|
|
+ Optimised G4IonTable::IsIon() implementation for usage of strings.
|
|
|
|
o Physics Lists:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ G4HadronInelasticQBBC: use G4StringChipsParticleLevelInterface instead
|
|
of obsolete G4StringChipsInterface.
|
|
+ G4MiscLHEPBuilder: create processes dynamically for proper deletion at
|
|
the end of job.
|
|
|
|
o Tracking:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ Fixed issue in G4SteppingManager for the special cases of skipping voxel
|
|
boundaries in G4RegularNavigation.
|
|
|
|
o Visualization:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Fixed problem in ratio and geometry on X/Xm/Qt/Win32 viewers.
|
|
Now possible to pass XString like 400x600-0+0 to viewers, set position
|
|
and location.
|
|
+ Corrected use of G4DEBUG with G4DEBUG_VIS_OGL in OpenGL-Qt code.
|
|
|
|
o Examples:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ advanced/brachytherapy:
|
|
o Fixed compilation errors and warnings when G4ANALYSIS_USE is not set.
|
|
+ advanced/composite_calorimeter:
|
|
o Fixed compilation warnings in CCalRunAction and CCalEndOfEventAction.
|
|
+ advanced/hadrontherapy:
|
|

|
|
+ advanced/human_phantom:
|
|
o Migrated GDML read setup to use embedded GDML reader as in Geant4 9.2.
|
|
o Corrected URL for standard location of schema in all GDML files.
|
|
o Use "OrganPos" and "OrganRot" as names for organs's transformations in
|
|
ORNL files, as implied by code.
|
|
o Fixed 'solids' tag in ORNLLeftLegBone.gdml files for male and female.
|
|
o Fixed compilation warnings and updated README.
|
|
+ advanced/microbeam:
|
|
o Correction in MicrobeamEMField to use logical '&&', not bit '&' in
|
|
conditional statements.
|
|
+ advanced/nanobeam:
|
|
o Correction in TabulatedField3D to use logical '&&', not bit '&' in
|
|
conditional statements.
|
|
+ extended/medical/DICOM:
|
|
o Added report on dose per voxel.
|
|
o Fixed use pf class G4RegularNavigationHistory for counting of step
|
|
lengths in voxels of the regular structure; forgotten inclusion in
|
|
release 9.2.
|
|
+ extended/persistency/gdml/G02:
|
|
o Guarded usage of G4UITCSH with G4UI_USE_TCSH flag, to allow for
|
|
compilation on Windows.
|
|
o Added visualization properties for world volume in DetectorConstruction
|
|
to avoid run-time warning.
