Geant4 11.2-beta-01 Release Notes
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
30 June 2023
|
|
|
|
Migration Notes & Main New Features
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
o Reviewed/simplified stream buffer and I/O classes.
|
|
o New Quantum State Simulation (QSS) integration method, an alternative
|
|
method of integration offering built-in interpolation capability and
|
|
enabling faster finding of the intersection of the trajectory with surfaces.
|
|
o Added possibility to set alternative grammar for schema validation
|
|
while reading a GDML file.
|
|
o Implemented single scattering per region, active inside the region
|
|
and disabled outside.
|
|
o Rewritten G4DNARuddIonisationExtendedModel G4DNA model, applicable for
|
|
scaled energy interval from 100 eV to 100 MeV.
|
|
o New submodule "channeling", implementing fast-simulation channeling model
|
|
in oriented crystals with Baier Katkov method for the calculation of
|
|
radiation probability, radiation point and parameters of photon production
|
|
as well as spectrum accumulation.
|
|
o Implemented interface allowing the coupling between Binary Cascade (BIC)
|
|
and Abla, i.e. using BIC for the cascade and then Abla for the nuclear
|
|
de-excitation.
|
|
o Extended Bertini model to allow the use of Abla as alternative post-cascade
|
|
nuclear de-excitation (the default de-excitation remains unchanged).
|
|
o Major extension of the INCLXX model to handle antiproton annihilation
|
|
at rest. All INCLXX-based physics lists now use INCLXX for the antiproton
|
|
annihilation at rest.
|
|
o Accurate modeling of elastic resonant scattering in heavy nuclei by
|
|
the use of DBRC (Doppler Broadening Rejection Correction) algorithm.
|
|
o Removed most calls to environment variables in hadronic physics classes.
|
|
o New physics list QBBC_ABLA, behaving as QBBC, but using the ABLA model
|
|
for nuclear de-excitation, instead of Precompound.
|
|
o New physics list QGSP_BIC_HPT, similar to QGSP_BIC_HP, but with
|
|
special treatment of elastic scattering of thermal neutrons activated.
|
|
o Added 6 new physics lists to physics factory, for "HPT" variants
|
|
(i.e. with special treatment of elastic scattering of thermal neutrons)
|
|
of physics lists with "HP" already present (FTFP_BERT_HPT,
|
|
QGSP_BIC_AllHPT, Shielding_HPT, ShieldingM_HPT).
|
|
o New physics list names Shielding_HP and ShieldingM_HP, as alias of,
|
|
respectively, Shielding and ShieldingM.
|
|
o First version of the TSG_[QT,X11,XT,WINDOWS]_ZB sub drivers, allowing for
|
|
interactive 3D rendering bypassing native graphics systems.
|
|
o TSG_QT driver temporarly enabled by default with OGL driver choice,
|
|
to allow support of Qt6.
|
|
o Supporting first implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree
|
|
in the Qt GUI.
|
|
o Implemented "generic cutaways" in visualization. Clips, sections and
|
|
cutaways will now be available to *all* viewers (OpenGL still uses
|
|
OpenGL clip planes. Use another driver, e.g., TSG, to get "generic
|
|
cutaways).
|
|
o New extended hadronic example, FlukaCern, showing the interface between
|
|
Geant4 and (Fortran) FLUKA-Cern: this allows to get, in a Geant4
|
|
application, hadron-nucleus reaction cross sections and final states
|
|
from FLUKA-Cern.
|
|
o Enabled first-level support for Qt6.
|
|
Fixed minimum supported version for Qt5 to be 5.9.
|
|
o Split build of G4persistency library into G4mctruth, G4geomtext and
|
|
(optional) G4gdml libraries.
|
|
o Added support for declaring headers of a source code module private.
|
|
Headers declared private are not installed. Partial refactoring of
|
|
modules.
|
|
o Removed deprecated GNUmake scripts for libraries build.
|
|
o Build option with VecGeom requires VecGeom-1.2.3 or higher.
|
|
o Requires CLHEP-2.4.6.4 for external CLHEP installation.
|
|
o New data sets: G4EMLOW-8.4, G4ABLA-3.3, G4INCL-1.1.
|
|

|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ CMake:
|
|
o Added support for declaring headers of a source code module private.
|
|
Headers declared private are not installed; geant4_module_check reports
|
|
an inconsistency if a private header is used non-privately.
|
|
o Updated Qt MOC application for G4UI implementation in place of
|
|
G4UIbasic/G4UIcommon.

|
|
sorted in descending order of the number of modules using them;
|
|
show which headers from linked modules are included by a module in
|
|
its usage requirements output.
|
|
o Updated configuration scripts for splitting of G4persistency library.
|
|
o Removed setting of -D flags in Geant4Config to enable visualisation
|
|
drivers. Libraries now export compile definitions for what they
|
|
support to move to a "use on link" model.
|
|
o Removed obsolete and confusing GEANT4_BUILD_TESTS option and
|
|
configuration.
|
|

|
|
+ Moved docstrings prior to function declarations for doxygen/IDE
|
|
compatibility.
|
|
|
|
o Externals:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ CLHEP:
|
|
o Synchronised with CLHEP-2.4.6.4.
|
|
- Fixed compilation warnings for implicit type conversions on
|
|
macOS/XCode 14.1 in Random and Evaluator code.
|
|
- Fixed cases of C++20 deprecated arithmetics with unnamed enumerations
|
|
in Vector classes.
|
|
+ g4tools:
|
|

|
|
- Added support for Qt6 in glarea.
|
|
- Enabling Qt, Xt, X11, Windows viewers for the tools/zbuffer rendering.
|
|
- Fixed compilation warnings on Intel/icx compiler for mismatched array
|
|
bounds. Fixed Coverity defect.
|
|
+ zlib:
|
|
o Updated to upstream zlib-1.2.13, retaining prior Geant4 patches.
|
|
|
|
o Geometry:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ Applied clang-tidy fixes (readability, modernization, performance, ...).
|
|
+ biasing:
|
|
o Use G4AutoLock in G4IStore and G4ImportanceAlgorithm instead of static
|
|
mutex data member.
|
|
+ magneticfield:
|
|
o Added new Quantum State Simulation (QSS) integration method, an
|
|
alternative method of integration which creates approximation functions
|
|
for each coordinate (x,p), changing the interpolation polynomials when
|
|
the deviation from exact solution is larger than a threshold value.
|
|
Offers built-in interpolation capability, enabling faster finding of
|
|
the intersection of the trajectory with surfaces.
|
|
Currently restricted to using only with a pure magnetic field.
|
|
+ navigation:
|
|
o G4PropagatorInField: added parameters for big steps.
|
|
New parameter 'fMaxStepSizeMultiplier', needed to reduce costly
|
|
unnecessary integration in QSS; new parameter 'fMinBigDistance' used
|
|
as minimum distance in case of long steps. Updated default values:
|
|
'fLargestAcceptableStep' = 100 * meter ( from 1000* meter );
|
|
'fMaxStepSizeMultiplier' = 0.1 ( from 100 ).
|
|
+ solids/Boolean:
|
|
o Added external Boolean processor visualisation interface
|
|
G4VBooleanProcessor.
|
|
+ solids/specific:
|
|
o Use const iterator in G4Voxelizer::GetPointVoxel().
|
|
o Fixed use of index in G4Tet::GetPointOnSurface().
|
|
|
|
o Global:
|
|
------
|
|
+ Removed public interface to G4strstreambuf: G4strstreambuf becomes a
|
|
private implementation detail of G4ios.
|
|
Minimized coupling among G4cout/G4strstreambuf/G4coutDestination.
|
|
+ Added G4debug output stream for logging messages at lower priority than
|
|
G4cout. If used with the Qt GUI, G4debug output is highlighted.
|
|
+ G4PhysicsModelCatalog: added the new INCLXX model of antiproton
|
|
annihilation at rest.
|
|
+ Added G4VERSION_REFERENCE_TAG macro to distinguish release/development
|
|
versions and cycle of the latter.
|
|
+ Removed obsolete and no longer used G4SIunits header.
|
|
+ Changed date for release 11.2-beta.
|
|
|
|
o Graphics Representations:
|
|
------------------------
|
|
+ Supporting first implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree.
|
|
Added G4SceneTreeItem class, an aggregate of data members that represent
|
|
properties of objects in the scene (G4Scene). Its data members are
|
|
low-level types, so that it can be used across categories, avoiding
|
|
coupling.
|
|
+ Added data member 'fExpanded' to G4SceneTreeItem.
|
|
|
|
o Intercoms:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ Replaced direct access to G4cout/etc stream buffers with call to
|
|
G4coutDestination installer function.
|
|
+ Implemented ReceiveG4debug() for G4UIsession et al.
|
|
+ Applied clang-tidy and clang-format fixes plus normal ordering of
|
|
docstrings/access specifications.
|
|
+ Removed unused/pointless operators. Use C++17 type aliases.
|
|
+ Refactored G4UIaliasList to simplify implementation and in particular
|
|
memory management.
|
|
+ Simplified G4UImessenger implementation.
|
|
+ Factor G4UIcommand/parameter range validation functions to reduce code
|
|
duplication.
|
|
+ Moved clear implementation detail classes to private headers.
|
|
|
|
o Interfaces:
|
|
----------
|
|
+ Implemented ReceiveG4debug for concrete sessions. For the Qt GUI
|
|
(G4UIQt) HTML code is added in order to highlight G4ddebug output.
|
|
+ First implementation of user-specified output styles: "/gui/outputStyle".
|
|
Output streams: cout cerr warn error debug (extendible, see
|
|
G4VInteractiveSession header). Only used by G4UIQt at present.
|
|
+ Support for first implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree.
|
|
+ Refactored modules into G4UIcore and G4UIimplementation to isolate
|
|
core/always on functionality from concrete UIs requiring external
|
|
libraries. Both modules are still built into a G4interfaces library,
|
|
with no change to user interface for applications.
|
|
+ Applied clang-tidy and clang-format fixes, together with
|
|
public/protected/private ordering in headers.
|
|
+ G4UIQt: fixed mutex bug in implementation of G4UIQt::ReceiveG4debug();
|
|
This "workaround" is to make sure all flushed output appears on the
|
|
terminal after a crash. Fixed QSplitter issue, necessary for Qt6 support.
|
|
Introduced new scene tree - Add colour choice.
|
|
Introduced widget for 'mouseDoubleClickEvent'. Implemented callbacks
|
|
SceneTreeItemExpanded() and SceneTreeItemCollapsed().
|
|
Improved command; allow for leading space in 'pvpath'. Code tidying.
|
|
Reworked double-click to use QTreeWidget::itemDoubleClicked.
|
|
+ Removed header no longer used in Qt5, which is also not present in Qt6.
|
|
Removed support for Qt < 5.9 in CMake script.
|
|
+ Export public compile definitions to indicate availablity of specific UIs.
|
|
Moves to "use on link" model.
|
|
|
|
o Materials:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ Applied standard and extended clang-tidy fixes, normal order access
|
|
specifiers and docstrings; applied clang-format.
|
|
|
|
o Parameterisations:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
+ New submodule "channeling", implementing fast-simulation channeling
|
|
model in oriented crystals with Baier Katkov method for the calculation of
|
|
radiation probability, radiation point and parameters of photon production
|
|
as well as spectrum accumulation.
|
|
|
|
o Particles:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ G4IonTable: fixed GetIon() method for the case when the ground state level
|
|
of an isomer is floating. Removed some code duplication in FindIon() and
|
|
GetIon() methods.
|
|
+ G4NuclideTable: taken into account the possibility of floating ground state
|
|
levels.
|
|
+ G4Ion: added protection against unphysical index of floating level.
|
|
+ Applied core/recommended clang-tidy fixes.
|
|
|
|
o Persistency:
|
|
-----------
|
|
+ Split build of G4persistency library into G4mctruth, G4geomtext and
|
|
(optional) G4gdml libraries.
|
|
+ GDML:
|
|
o Added possibility to set alternative grammar for schema validation
|
|
while reading a GDML file. This can be achieved by either calling the
|
|
new method SetImportSchema(..) from G4GDMLParser, providing the
|
|
absolute path and file name of the XML schema, or by using the new
|
|
UI command: /persistency/gdml/schema "[absolute_path]/schema_filename"
|
|
before importing the GDML file.
|
|
By setting a locally stored alternative grammar, it will instruct the
|
|
parser to ignore the default schema specified in the GDML file and
|
|
therefore no longer require access to the network for retrieving the
|
|
schema.
|
|
o Allow setting of alternative grammar for schema validation via an
|
|
environment variable G4GDML_SCHEMA_FILE; it overrides the value set by
|
|
SetImportSchema() if both are non-empty strings. Forcing parser to
|
|
ignore any schema set in the input GDML file. Checking of grammar and
|
|
schema override will fail on missing schema.
|
|
o In G4GDMLWriteStructure::ExportSD(), use GetMasterSensitiveDetector()
|
|
from logical volume to retrieve the shadow pointer of the sensitive
|
|
detector.
|
|
|
|
o Physics Lists:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Constructors:
|
|
o electromagnetic:
|
|
- G4EmBuilder, G4EmModelActivator, G4EmStandardPhysicsSS: fixed issue
|
|
in single scattering model definition per region for e+, e-, and
|
|
light hadrons. Addressing problem report #2530.
|
|
- G4EmBuilder, G4EmStandardPhysicsSS: use new constructor for the
|
|
G4CoulombScattering process.
|
|
- G4EmModelActivator: use new constructor for the G4CoulombScattering
|
|
process; allow adding G4EmStandardPhysicsSS on top of
|
|
G4EmStandardPhysics_option3.
|
|
Implemented single scattering per region by adding extra single
|
|
scattering process, which is active inside the region and not active
|
|
outside; multiple scattering and single scattering processes for a
|
|
given charged particle are disabled in the region.
|
|
Addressing problem report #2530.
|
|
- New G4ChemDissociationChannels and G4ChemDissociationChannels_option1
|
|
classes.
|
|
- G4GammaGeneralProcess: added method GetGammaNuclear().
|
|
- G4EmParticleList: added method EmChargedPartNames(), returning a
|
|
minimal list of charged EM particles.
|
|
- Fixed compilation warnings on macOS/XCode for implicit type
|
|
conversion.
|
|
o factory:
|
|
- Added G4StoppingPhysicsWithINCLXX in G4RegisterPhysicsConstructors.
|
|
o gamma_lepto_nuclear:
|
|
- G4EmExtraPhysics: activate biasing in processes, not in
|
|
cross-sections.
|
|
o constructors/hadron_elastic
|
|
- New class G4HadronElasticPhysicsHPT, inheriting from
|
|
G4HadronElasticPhysicsHP and activating the special treatment of
|
|
elastic scattering of thermal neutrons.
|
|
- G4HadronElasticPhysicsHP: changed method ConstructProcess() from
|
|
"final" to "override", to be able to define the ConstructProcess()
|
|
method for the derived class G4HadronElasticPhysicsHPT.
|
|
o constructors/hadron_inelastic
|
|
- New class G4HadronInelasticQBBC_ABLA, similar to
|
|
G4HadronInelasticQBBC_ABLA, except that for the final-state of
|
|
nuclear inelastic interactions of charged pions and nucleons
|
|
projectiles, the ABLA model is utilized for nuclear de-excitation,
|
|
instead of the usual Precompound/de-excitation.
|
|
Meant for testing purposes. In principle, these couplings with ABLA
|
|
nuclear de-excitation can be extended to all types of projectiles and
|
|
to other reference physics lists, but, for the time being, it is
|
|
restricted to pion+, pion-, proton and neutron, and only for QBBC.
|
|
o constructors/stopping (phys-ctor-stopping-V11-01-00)
|
|
- G4StoppingPhysicsWithINCLXX: new class, similar to G4StoppingPhysics,
|
|
with the only difference that the INCLXX model (instead of FTFP) is
|
|
utilized for the antiproton annihilation at rest.
|
|
+ lists:
|
|
o New class QBBC_ABLA, which is similar to QBBC, except that for
|
|
hadron inelastic the constructor G4HadronInelasticQBBC_ABLA is used,
|
|
instead of G4HadronInelasticQBBC. This means that the physics list
|
|
QBBC_ABLA behaves as QBBC, with the only difference that for the
|
|
final-state of nuclear inelastic interactions of charged pions and
|
|
nucleons projectiles, the ABLA model is being used for nuclear
|
|
de-excitation, instead of the usual Precompound/de-excitation.
|
|
o New class QGSP_BIC_HPT, which is similar to QGSP_BIC_HP, but with
|
|
special treatment of elastic scattering of thermal neutrons activated.
|
|
o Use the new class G4StoppingPhysicsWithINCLXX (instead of
|
|
G4StoppingPhysics) in INCLXXPhysicsListHelper: all the INCLXX-based
|
|
physics lists use INCLXX for the antiproton annihilation at rest.
|
|
o G4PhysListFactory: added 6 new physics lists, corresponding to "HPT"
|
|
variants (i.e. with special treatment of elastic scattering of thermal
|
|
neutrons) of physics lists with "HP" already present (FTFP_BERT_HPT,
|
|
QGSP_BERT_HPT, FTFP_INCLXX_HPT, QGSP_INCLXX_HPT, QGSP_BIC_HPT,
|
|
QGSP_BIC_AllHPT, Shielding_HPT, ShieldingM_HPT).
|
|
Of these, only one (QGSP_BIC_HPT) corresponds to a concrete new physics
|
|
list, whereas the others are obtained from the "HP" physics lists by
|
|
adding the physics constructor G4ThermalNeutrons.
|
|
Introduced new physics list names Shielding_HP and ShieldingM_HP, as
|
|
alias of, respectively, Shielding and ShieldingM. These new aliases
|
|
allow to have a consistent notation _HPT for all the HP-based physics
|
|
lists when the special elastic scattering treatment of thermal neutrons
|
|
is enabled.
|
|
o Shielding: added information note that the new physics list names (to
|
|
be used with the physics list factory), Shielding_HP and ShieldingM_HP,
|
|
are equivalent to, respectively, Shielding and ShieldingM.
|
|
o G4PhysListFactoryMessenger: added the new UI command
|
|
"/physics_lists/factory/addThermal" to enable the special treatment of
|
|
elastic scattering of thermal neutrons for HP-based physics lists.
|
|
|
|
o Electromagnetic Processes:
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
+ DNA:
|
|
o Reorganised multiple material model of PTB. G4VDNAModel plays like a
|
|
data layer for multiple material models. The concrete models are
|
|
independent of G4DNAModelInterface.
|
|
o G4DNARuddIonisationExtendedModel: rewrite of the model, applicable for
|
|
scaled energy interval from 100 eV to 100 MeV. If for an ion data is not
|
|
available, proton x-section and effective charge are used, sampling of
|
|
delta-electron is done using the two regions regression method.
|
|
Sharing data between threads.
|
|
o Introduced G4DNAMaterialManager to handle available DNA materials
|
|
and keep DNA cross-section data shared across threads.
|
|
o Replaced string to material index and some code cleanup in PTB models.
|
|
o Added material pointer members for each concrete PTB models.
|
|
o Code cleanup in G4DNAModelInterface for the model combination of
|
|
different materials.
|
|
o Added PTB model data to G4DNAMaterialManager singleton.
|
|
Updated RegisterModel() function with new structure.
|
|
o Added DNA cross-section to dna_option6.
|
|
o Use analytical method for DNA material in option6, water is unchanged.
|
|
Minor correction for DNA material in option6.
|
|
o Added time structure (pulsed beam) to water radiolysis
|
|
(G4VUserPulseInfo).
|
|
o Corrected initial values of G4DNAEventScheduler.
|
|
o Use analytical method for DNA material in option6, water is unchanged.
|
|
Minor correction for DNA material in option6.
|
|
o Modified DNA cross-section file name, according to new G4EMLOW-8.4 data
|
|
set.
|
|
o Fixed Coverity defects for uninitialised scalar variables.
|
|
o Fixed compilation warnings on macOS/XCode for implicit type conversions.
|
|
+ High Energy:
|
|
o G4GammaConversionToMuons, G4AnnihiToMuPair: removed using namespace std
|
|
and applied cling-tidy base fixes.
|
|
+ Low Energy:
|
|
o In G4LivermorePhotoElectricModel and G4LivermoreRayleighModel removed
|
|
calls to environment variables and use G4EmParameters method instead.
|
|
Added lock for reading data on the fly; minor code formatting.
|
|
o G4LivermoreGammaConversionModel, G4LivermoreGammaConversion5DModel:
|
|
fixed Spline interpolation by calling FillSecondDerivatives().
|
|
o G4LowEWentzelVIModel: updated according to Coulomb scattering models.
|
|
o Use access to G4LEDATA via G4EmParameters for G4LivermoreComptonModel,
|
|
G4LivermoreGammaConversion5DModel and G4LivermoreGammaConversionModel.
|
|
o Applied clang-tidy and clang-format to Livermore code.
|
|
+ Standard:
|
|
o G4UrbanMscModel: check IsLocked() method before definition of lateral
|
|
displacement algorithm and positron correction; improved code
|
|
formatting.
|
|
o G4CoulombScattering: added SetCombined() method allowing the user to
|
|
configure the process; improved code formatting and initialisation.
|
|
Added constructor with changed signature, which uses flag "isCombined"
|
|
instead of process name.
|
|
Added extra constructor to address all existing cases;
|
|
for pure single scattering, integral method type is changed and Spline
|
|
interpolation is used. Addressing problem report #2530.
|
|
o G4UrbanMscModel: code optimisation; no functional changes.
|
|
o Code cleanup in G4PAI* classes.
|
|
o Removed use of std::getenv() from model classes, use G4EmParameters
|
|
instead.
|
|
o G4eCoulombScatterinModel: improved initialisation and code formatting.
|
|
o G4BraggModel, G4BraggIonModel: use proton stopping data for for all
|

|
|
Addressing problem report #2532.
|
|
o G4BetheHeitlerModel, G4PairProductionRelModel, G4eBremsstrahlungRelModel,
|
|
G4SeltzerBergerModel: reorganized initialisation. Initialisation of
|
|
static element data is performamed only once for the first object
|
|
independently on how many objects of this kind is created in a thread.
|
|
Results of simulation are identical. Addressing problem report #2543.
|
|
o In G4BetheBlochModel, G4BraggIonModel and G4BraggModel, updating
|
|
effective charge of an ion at each step of simulation or at each call
|
|
to G4EmCalculator.
|

|
|
once: PSTAR and ICRU90 in G4BraggModel, ASTAR in G4BraggIonModel,
|
|
ICRU73 and ICRU90 ion (Z>2) data in G4LindHardSorensenIonModel.
|
|
o G4BraggIonModel inherits from G4Bragg model; fixed stopping power
|
|
of heavy ions at moderate energies.
|
|
o G4LindhardSorensenIonModel: use G4BraggModel for preliminary computation
|
|
of DEDX at initialisation for G4GenericIon instead of G4BraggIonModel,
|
|
which fixes a problem of low-energy ion tracking recently introduced.
|
|
+ Utils:
|
|
o G4EmParameters: added extra member and access method to G4LEDATA path
|
|
allowing checking of the environment variable for the EM data only once.
|
|
o G4VEnergyLossProcess: make more straightforward computation of ion
|
|
effective charge.
|
|

|
|
G4EmCalculator. Use LPM flag from G4EmParameters.
|
|
o G4ionEffectiveCharge: minor optimisation.
|
|
o G4VEnergyLossProcess, G4VEmProcess, G4VMultipleScattering: use flag of
|
|
master thread from G4LossTableManager.
|
|
o G4VEnergyLossProcess: added extra protection excluding negative range;
|
|
renamed class member; changed condition to stop low-energy ion, use
|
|
kinetic energy and not scaled energy.
|
|
Added extra protection for the case of negative range of low-energy
|
|
particles. Addressing problem report #2542.
|
|
o G4LossTableManager: reserve memory for internal vectors; simplified
|
|
destructor; move a part of initialisation of class members to header.
|
|
o G4EmCorrections: code formatting; removed lock of threads, use instead
|
|
flag from G4LossTableManager.
|
|
o Improved printout in G4EmCalculator.
|
|
o G4LossTableBuilder, G4VEnergyLossProcess: improved debug printout.
|
|
|
|
o Generic Processes:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
+ Scoring:
|
|
o Applied core clang-tidy/format fixes.
|
|
o Make G4EnergySplitter a private implementation detail of the module.
|
|
Make dependency to 'intercoms' private.
|
|
+ Transportation:
|
|
o In G4TransportationParameters, added a method to set both warning and
|
|
important energies; added method to report lock errors.
|
|
Improved reporting of inconsistent changes of 'warning' & 'important'
|
|
energies (not only enforce warning_E < important_E but also warn about
|
|
violations).
|
|
|
|
o Hadronic Processes:
|
|
------------------
|
|
+ cross_sections
|
|
o Removed calls to environment variable G4PARTICLEXSDATA, use
|
|
G4HadronicParameters access method instead.
|
|
o In G4CrossSectionDataStore, reduced number of calls to environment
|
|
variables, which are done only to print output for documentation.
|
|
Removed remaining calls to getenv() and use G4HadronicParameters
|
|
instead.
|
|
o G4ElNeutrinoNucleusTotXsc: uncommented methods for interface with
|
|
G4ElNeutrinoNucleusProcess.
|
|
o G4GammaNuclearXS: general code clean-up: instantiate data only once
|
|
for all instances of this cross-section class; upload data for all
|
|
elements before the first run; simplified computation of isotope
|
|
cross-section; added extra public method LowEnergyCrossSection().
|
|
More accurate usage of cache; simplified GetIsoCrosssection() and
|
|
SelectIsotope() methods.
|
|
o Fixed compilation warnings for implicit type conversions on
|
|
macOS/XCode>=14.1.
|
|
+ management
|
|
o G4HadronicProcess: removed usage of "DebugFlag" and "RandomFile".
|
|
Replaced access to environment variables with call to
|
|
G4HadronicParameters. Added extra G4Exception for the case where a
|
|
worker cannot share initialisation with the master thread.
|
|
Addressing problem report #2528.
|
|
Improved diagnostics.
|
|
o G4HadronicProcessStore: avoid checking of environment variables, call
|
|
G4HadronicParameters instead.
|
|
+ models/abla
|
|
o G4AblaInterface: implemented method ApplyYourself() to allow the
|
|
coupling between Binary Cascade (BIC) and Abla, i.e. using BIC for the
|
|
cascade and then Abla for the nuclear de-excitation.
|
|
+ models/binary_cascade
|
|
o G4BinaryCascade, G4BinaryLightIonReaction: avoid calls to getenv(),
|
|
use G4HadronicParameters instead.
|
|
+ models/cascade
|
|
o Extended Bertini model to allow the use of Abla as alternative
|
|
post-cascade nuclear de-excitation (the default de-excitation remains
|
|
unchanged).
|
|
There are two ways to set Abla as de-excitation for Bertini: via C++
|
|
interface, by calling G4CascadeInterface::useAblaDeexcitation();
|
|
via environmental variable, by setting G4CASCADE_USE_ABLA=1.
|
|
o G4AblaDeexcitation: new class that does the nuclear de-excitation,
|
|
after the Bertini cascade, by using the Abla model, and then tranforms
|
|
the secondaries in Bertini objects.
|
|
o G4CascadeInterface: added new method useAblaDeexcitation() which sets
|
|
Abla as nuclear de-excitation; this method can be called directly by the
|
|
user, or automatically in the constructor of the class when the flag
|
|
G4CascadeParameters::useAbla() is enabled.
|
|
o G4InuclCollider: added new method useAblaDeexcitation() which creates
|
|
an instance of the new class G4AblaDeexcitation.
|
|
o G4CascadeParameters: added Boolean flag that enables the Abla
|
|
de-dexcitation model in the case that the new environmental variable
|
|
G4CASCADE_USE_ABLA is set.
|
|
o Fixed coverity defect for incorrect integer divide in fission part of
|
|
G4EquilibriumEvaporator::deExcite().
|
|
+ models/de_excitation
|
|
o G4LevelReader: allow to add more levels of a given isotope than the
|
|
hardcoded limit=635 (max number of levels in G4LEVELGAMMADATA).
|
|
Addressing problem report #2534.
|
|
o G4LevelManager: added extra public accessor method allowing users to
|
|
check level energies and other parameters.
|
|
o G4DeexPrecoParameters: moved part of initialisation to header; do not
|
|
use autolock, use internal flag instead to allow only one dump of
|
|
paramenters; print all pre-compound parameters, separate pre-compound
|
|
and de-excitation printouts.
|
|
o G4NuclearLevelData: fixed uploading of data before the run.
|
|
+ models/inclxx
|
|
o Major extension of the INCLXX model to handle antiproton annihilation
|
|
at rest.
|
|
+ models/lend
|
|
o Fixed coverity defect; G4LENDGammaCrossSection::SelectChannel() may
|
|
return negative array index, same in G4LENDGammaCombinedCrossSection;
|
|
initialize 'iChannel' to a positive number.
|
|
+ models/particle_hp
|
|
o Accurate modeling of elastic resonant scattering in heavy nuclei by
|
|
the use of DBRC (Doppler Broadening Rejection Correction) algorithm.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPManager, added new member variables and corresponding
|
|
methods, related to the DBRC algorithm.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPMessenger, added new UI commands to enable DBRC (which
|
|
is off by default) and to specify its parameters.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPVector, added new method GetMaxY() to provide the maximum
|
|
cross-section in the interval between two kinetic energy values.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPChannel, modified method ApplyYourself(), with an extra
|
|
argument, for a special treatment of the elastic channel.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPElastic, modified G4ParticleHPChannel::ApplyYourself()
|
|
call, with an extra parameter.
|
|
In G4ParticleHPElasticFS, implemented the DBRC algorithm in the new
|
|
method GetBiasedThermalNucleus(); modified the method ApplyYourself()
|
|
to call the new method GetBiasedThermalNucleus(); introduced two more
|
|
new methods, InitializeScatterKernelParameters() and
|
|
RegisterCrossSection(), and corresponding new member variables.
|
|
o G4ParticleHPMessenger: when changing the neutron kinetic energy
|
|
threshold for applying the SVT algorithm, as part of the setting of the
|
|
DBRC (Double Broadening Rejection Correction) algorithm, update the
|
|
corresponding value in G4HadronicParameters.
|
|
o G4ParticleHPManager: removed the neutron kinetic energy threshold for
|
|
applying the SVT (Sampling of the Velocity of the Target) algorithm, as
|
|
this parameter is in G4HadronicParameters.
|
|
o G4ParticleHPElasticFS: get the neutron kinetic energy threshold for
|
|
applying the SVT algorithm from G4HadronicParameters; in the method
|
|
GetBiasedThermalNucleus(), corrected mistake in the interval where the
|
|
max neutron cross-section is considered for rejection.
|
|
o G4ParticleHPDeExGammas: removed internal counter; delete only objects
|
|
which are created.
|
|
o Removed G4ParticleHPGamma and G4ParticleHPLevel classes.
|
|
o G4ParticleHPEnergyDistribution, G4ParticleHPContAngularPar,
|
|
G4ParticleHPEnAngCorrelation: fixed Coverity warnings.
|
|
o Applied clang-format and clang-tidy fixes.
|
|
+ models/parton_string
|
|
o G4BaryonSplitter, G4MesonSplitter, G4QGSMSplittableHadron, G4SPBaryon:
|
|
some code cleanup.
|
|
+ models/qmd
|
|
o Fixed Coverity defect for uninitialized variable.
|
|
o Code cleanup in G4QMDMeanField in attempt to fix false positive on
|
|
gcc-13.1 diagnostics on alma9.
|
|
+ models/radioactive_decay
|
|
o Fix in stairstep beta decay spectrum. Addressing problem report #2367.
|
|
Created new class G4BetaSpectrumSampler to sample a sloped distribution
|
|
instead of a flat one. Changed G4BetaMinusDecay and G4BetaPlusDecay to
|
|
use the above sampler. Added protection against very large arguments
|
|
in std::exp within G4BetaDecayCorrections::ModSquared.
|
|
o Fixed Coverity defect for uninitialized data in G4BetaSpectrumSampler,
|
|
G4RadioactiveDecay and G4BetaSpectrumSampler.
|
|
+ processes
|
|
o G4(El,Tau)NeutrinoNucleusProcess, G4NeutrinoElectronProcess,
|
|
G4MuNeutrinoNucleusProcess: update neutrino cross-section biasing
|
|
in selected detector-region.
|
|
o G4ElNeutrinoNucleusProcess: updated process name to be
|
|
"el-neutrino-nucleus".
|
|
o New process G4NuVacOscProcess or 3-flavour neutrino oscillation in
|
|
vacuum.
|
|
o G4NeutronGeneralProcess: added two access methods, an extra set method
|
|
and removed possible variable shadowing.
|
|
o G4HadronElasticProcess, G4NeutronGeneralProcess: fixed problems
|
|
identified by Coverity.
|
|
o G4TauNeutrinoNucleusProcess: cleanup of constructor and destructor to
|
|
fix Coverity warning.
|
|
+ stopping
|
|
o G4HadronicAbsorptionINCLXX: new class to handle annihilation at rest by
|
|
INCLXX; for the time being, only for antiproton.
|
|
+ util
|
|
o G4HadronicParameter: introduced the neutron kinetic energy threshold
|
|
for applying the SVT (Sampling of the Velocity of the Target)
|
|
algorithm. This is needed to have a consistent value in methods
|
|
GetBiasedThermalNucleus() in G4Nucleus and G4ParticleHPElasticFS
|
|
respectively, to avoid circular dependency with 'particle_hp' module.
|
|
Removed two obsolete environment variables and access methods; added
|
|
flag for charge exchange.
|
|
Added class members defined via environment variable and access methods
|
|
for these members, this allows to remove the majority of calls to
|
|
std::getenv().
|
|
Added two strings and extra methods to access environment variables used
|
|
in G4HadronicProcessStore. These variables are not used in ordinary runs
|
|
but are checked in each thread and for each particle. With this update
|
|
these variables will be checked only once.
|
|
Added G4Exception for the case, when environment variable
|
|
G4PARTICLEXSDATA is not defined.
|
|
Added extra Boolean method for accessing debug flag for Binary Cascade,
|
|
which may be defined via environment variable G4BINARY_CASCADE_DEBUG.
|
|
o G4Nucleus: in the method GetBiasedThermalNucleus(), get the neutron
|
|
kinetic energy threshold for applying the SVT algorithm from
|
|
G4HadronicParameter in method DoKinematicsOfThermalNucleus(), and
|
|
corrected the way to pass the last parameter, by reference instead of
|
|
by value.
|
|
Split the method GetBiasedThermalNucleus() into two parts, by
|
|
introducing a new public method, DoKinematicsOfThermalNucleus(),
|
|
which is used also by G4ParticleHPElasticFS to implement the DBRC
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
o Run:
|
|
---
|
|
+ Refactor random state file copying to use std::filesystem for portability.
|
|
+ Applied core and optional clang-tidy fixes, plus clang-format and tidying:
|
|
removed obsolete comments/dead blocks; normal order access specifiers and
|
|
make docstrings Doxygen/IDE compatible.
|
|
|
|
o Track & Tracking:
|
|
----------------
|
|
+ Applied standard and extended set of clang-tidy/format fixes.
|
|
|
|
o Visualization:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Isolated private headers and updated dependencies.
|
|
+ Link to new G4UIcore/UIimplementation modules in place of former
|
|
G4UIbasic/UIcommon.
|
|
+ Exporting public compile definitions to indicate availablity of specific
|
|
drivers. Moves to "use on link" model.
|
|
+ management:
|
|
o Introducing scene tree in G4VViewer. The scene tree is a tree of
|
|
G4SceneTreeItem objects; its root is a data member fSceneTree of all
|
|
viewers by virtue of G4VViewer inheritance. The root G4SceneTreeItem
|
|
has children that represent the models (G4VModel sub-classes) in the
|
|
scene. For a G4PhysicalVolumeModel (detector components), its children
|
|
and children's children, etc., imitate the geometry hierarchy of that
|
|
model. These descendants are called "touchables". There may be more than
|
|
one G4PhysicalVolumeModel, depending how the user creates his/her scene.
|
|
The scene tree is reviewed, and updated if necessary, at every pass of
|
|
G4VSceneHandler::ProcessScene(). This is called a "kernel visit".
|
|
A kernel visit is triggered by vis commands (e.g.,"/vis/viewer/rebuild")
|
|
and by a viewer if deemed necessary. For example, a kernel visit may not
|
|
be required for a rotation, zoom, etc., but required for a change from
|
|
surface to wireframe. The idea is that the scene tree can be passed to a
|
|
GUI, the GUI can create a tree widget, and interactions with it raise UI
|
|
commands such as "/vis/scene/activateModel", "/vis/set/touchable" and
|
|
"/vis/touchable/set/"...
|
|
The viewer decides if this requires a kernel visit, otherwise it must
|
|
update 'fSceneTree' itself (utilities are provided).
|
|
o Add code to build a scene tree in G4VSceneHandler::ProcessScene().
|
|
o First implementation of a no-frills GUI-side interactive scene tree.
|
|
Works with touchables; can change the visibility of a touchable.
|
|
A view can be prepared with a graphical driver, such as OGL, TSG, OI
|
|
or Vtk, and transferred it to Ray Tracer, TOOLSSG_OFFSCREEN, etc.,
|
|
simply with "/vis/open RayTracer", etc.
|
|
o Implemented "generic cutaways". It relies on the Boolean Processor
|
|
which handles the Boolean operations on polyhedral representations of
|
|
solids. Clips, sections and cutaways will now be available to *all*
|
|
viewers (OGL viewers still use OpenGL clip planes).
|
|
o New scene tree: implementing expand and collapse of touchables.
|
|
Expand only to depth 2, thereafter sub-trees are collapsed.
|
|
When the scene tree is expanded or collapsed it is remembered in
|
|
the viewer-side scene tree and may be propagated to other viewers.
|
|
o G4VSceneHandler: protect material pointer used to name G4Mesh item.
|
|
If null, use name of container. It avoids cases of crash when a G4Mesh
|
|
is in a parallel world.
|
|
In RequestPrimitives(), improved test for invalid Boolean solid.
|
|
In CreateSectionSolid() and CreateCutawaySolid(), improved algorithms.
|
|
o In G4VViewer::SceneTreeScene::FindOrInsertTouchable(), fixed Coverity
|
|
warning. Augmented to handle depth of descent.
|
|
o G4VVisCommand: added static G4SceneTreeItem 'fExistingSceneTree', used
|
|
for remembering scene tree of previous viewer.
|
|
o G4VisCommandsSceneHandler: if there is an existing viewer, store scene
|
|
tree.
|
|
o G4VisCommandsViewer: if there is an existing viewer, store scene tree.
|
|
Copy existing scene tree to the new viewer.
|
|
o With "/vis/viewer/select", call UpdateGUISceneTree() to ensure the
|
|
scene tree of the newly selected viewer is in sync.
|
|
o G4VViewer: add scene tree and related functionality.
|
|
Improved G4VViewer::SceneTreeScene::FindOrInsertTouchable().
|
|
Simplified ghost-touchable transition.
|
|
Added "utility" function UpdateGUISceneTree().
|
|
o Correct Special Mesh Rendering Option default.
|
|
o G4ViewParameters: initialise fSpecialMeshRenderingOption'
|
|
(meshAsDefault).
|
|
o Default special mesh rendering for viewers which can render all objects.
|
|
o Improved vis-side scene tree creation and maintenance.
|
|
o G4VisCommandsTouchableSet: with "/vis/touchable/set/visibility",
|
|
added one-time warning about circumstances in which the command may
|
|
appear not to work.
|
|
o In G4VisExecutive, temporary divert OGL to TSG for allowing support of
|
|
Qt6. Declare TOOLSSG_[X11,XT,WINDOWS,QT]_ZB drivers.
|
|
o In G4VisCommandsTouchable, introduced UI command
|
|
"/vis/touchable/twinkle".
|
|
o Improved layout in G4VViewer::SceneTreeScene::FindOrInsertModel().
|
|
o Code cleanup in G4VUserVisAction: made protected Draw() virtual method;
|
|
improved comments.
|
|
o Fixed compilation warning for implicit type conversion on
|
|
macOS/XCode>=14.1.
|
|
+ modeling:
|
|
o G4VModel: removed unnecessary reference to G4PhysicalVolumeModel.
|
|
o G4PseudoScene: added G4VisAttributes (this was always available, but
|
|
never previously made onward available to sub-classes).
|
|
o Added static utility G4PhysicalVolumeModel::GetPVNamePathString().
|
|
o Updates to implement "generic cutaways".
|
|
o G4PhysicalVolumeModel: in DescribeSolid(), improved tests for invalid
|
|
Boolean solid in code for section and cutaway. Fixed Coverity warnings.
|
|
+ OpenGL:
|
|
o Removed obsolete G4OPENGL_VERSION_2 symbol and G4OpenGLVboDrawer class.
|
|
o Make "modeling" module a private dependency, unless Qt is active, when
|
|
it must be public.
|
|
o First implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree.
|
|
o G4OpenGLQtViewer: disabled "old" scene tree.
|
|
o No longer link to QtPrintSupport, which is not used in the toolkit.
|
|
o Removed support for Qt less than version 5.9. Clarify remaining version
|
|
checks using QT_VERSION_CHECK instead of raw hex.
|
|
o Minimum build and code changes required to compile/link against both
|
|
Qt5 and Qt6.
|
|
+ OpenInventor:
|
|
o First implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree.
|
|
o No longer link to QtPrintSupport, which is not used in the toolkit.
|
|
o Support compilation against Qt5 and Qt6.
|
|
+ Qt3D
|
|
o Support compilation against Qt5 and Qt6.
|
|
+ ToolsGS:
|
|
o First version of the TSG_[QT,X11,XT,WINDOWS]_ZB sub drivers, allowing
|
|
the rendering with g4tools/zbuffer (the same used by TSG_OFFSCREEN).
|
|
They allow interactive 3D rendering bypassing native graphics
|
|
systems. It is fully standalone over the standard C/C++ libs and the
|
|
standard pixmap logic of X11, Xt, Qt, Windows, running only the CPU.
|
|
Tested with Qt5 and Qt6.
|
|
o First implementation of a no-frills GUI-side scene tree.
|
|
o No longer link to QtPrintSupport, which is not used in the toolkit.
|
|
o Link to Qt6OpenGLWidgets library when using Qt6 to access QOpenGLWidget.
|
|
o Fixed Coverity warnings.
|
|
+ Vtk:
|
|
o Refactor of VTK viewer with pipelines, geometry stores; improved 2D
|
|
rendering, streamlined VTK cmake components.
|
|
o G4VtkSceneHandler: text justification to given coordinate.
|
|
o Separated pipelines into source and include files.
|
|

|
|
to chain pipelines.
|
|
o Separated interactive cutters, clippers.
|
|
o 2D transparent image overlay.

|
|
o Applied clang-tidy and clang-format fixes.
|
|
o Removed dead code and no-ops.
|
|
o Fixed compilation warnings for implicit type conversions on
|
|
macOS/XCode>=14.1.
|

|
|
--------
|
|

|
|
+ advanced/eFLASH_radiotherapy
|
|
o Removed visualization in batch mode.
|
|
+ advanced/fastAerosol
|
|
o General code cleanup, including clang-tidy.
|
|
+ advanced/ICRP110_HumanPhantoms
|
|
o Now building two executables: ICRP110phantoms and ICRP110standalone.
|
|
ICRP110standalone allows allows visualisation of the phantom without
|
|
the overhead of the run manager and initialising of all the physics
|
|
tables (i.e. cannot visualise trajectories).
|
|
o standalone.mac: disable auto refresh *before* creating scene.
|
|
For auto-refresh viewers, without this change the viewer attempts to
|
|
draw the detector with the default view parameters, and in the case of
|
|
this phantom, it overwhelms the graphics system.
|
|
o This phantom should be displayed with special mesh rendering.
|
|
+ advanced/ICRP145_HumanPhantoms
|
|
o Introduce ICRP145standalone. Building two executables: ICRP145phantoms
|
|
and ICRP145standalone. ICRP145standalone allows visualisation of the
|
|
phantom without the overhead of the run manager and physics tables
|
|
and geometry initialisation. Of course, you cannot run or visualise
|
|
trajectories. Disabled auto refresh *before* creating scene.
|
|
+ advanced/stim_pixe_tomography
|
|
o New application for simulating three-dimensional STIM or PIXE tomography
|
|
experiments. References: NIM Phys.Res. B (536) 2023: 38-44;

|
Phys. Med. (94) 2022: 85-93; Phys. Med. (65) 2019: 172-180.
|
|
+ advanced/xray_TESdetector
|
|
o New example of the application of Geant4 in a space environment.
|
|
It represents an x-ray detector derived from the X-IFU, the X-ray
|
|
spectrometer designed and developed by the European Space Agency (ESA)
|
|
for use on the ATHENA telescope. The main purpose of the simulation is
|
|
the estimation of the particle radiation background impacting on the
|
|
detector.
|
|
+ advanced/xray_SiliconPoreOptics
|
|
o New example demonstrating an application of Geant4 in space environment.
|
|
The geometry used in this example represents a single reflective pore
|
|
used to simulate on a smaller scale the effect of the millions of pores
|
|
forming the mirror of the ATHENA Silicon Pore Optics (SPO), as described
|
|
in: V.Fioretti et al., STI: Ultraviolet to Gamma Ray. Vol.10699. SPIE,
|
|
2018.
|
|
The main purpose of the simulation is the estimation of the induced
|
|
residual background at the pore exit caused by proton scattering at
|
|
grazing angles.
