|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
5 June 2009
|
|
|
|
List of main features and fixes included in this Beta release since 9.2.p01:
|
|
|
|
o Configuration:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Configure script:
|
|
o Rewritten check on make/gmake on WIN32-VC systems to avoid problems
|
|
with cygwin and Matlab.
|
|
o Added check to build Qt driver only when Qt UI module is built;
|
|
reordered 'moc' checks and added cross-check on moc version.
|
|
Added safety reset of OpenGL QT build and use variables.
|
|
o Commented out echo compatibility warning to address problem
|
|
report #1067.
|
|
+ Corrections in analysis.gmk for AIDA setup on Windows.
|
|
+ Improved non-standard setup for Qt on Linux, Mac and Windows.
|
|

|
|
no longer necessary since icc version 11.0.083.
|
|
|
|
o Digits & Hits:
|
|
-------------
|
|
+ Replaced usage of non-Standard calls to sprintf() with ostringstream,
|
|
to fix compilation errors reported by gcc-4.4.0 compiler.
|
|
|
|
o Environments:
|
|
------------
|
|
+ G4Py: updated configuration scripts and some minor fixes.
|
|

|
o Error Propagation:
|
|
-----------------
|
|
+ Inclusion of pi+, pi- and proton in physics list.
|
|
+ Added possibility to account for error deflation
|
|
(needed to make 'smoothing').
|
|
|
|
o Geometry:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ divisions:
|
|
o Allow for generic divisions along Z for polyhedras and polycones; now
|
|
divisions can happen along z-axis with width and offset, which fulfils
|
|
the condition that division does not span over more than one segment.
|
|
o Fixed initialization of division in Phi for polyhedras to avoid taking
|
|
into account user defined width.
|
|
+ magnetic field:
|
|
o Added 3rd term of BMT equation (Spin x Beta x Efield) to
|
|
G4EqEMFieldWithSpin, as reported in the Emfield Hypernews Forum
|
|
posting #155.
|
|
o Moved renormalization of spin from G4EqEMFieldWithSpin and
|
|
G4Mag_SpinEqRhs to G4ClassicalRK4 and G4SimpleHeum.

|
|
normal for optical photons in rotated solids.
|
|
Addresses problem report #1059.
|
|
o Fix in G4PathFinder: a geometry is at a boundary if its step is within
|
|
tolerance of the minimum step for any defined geometry.
|
|
o Fix in G4PropagatorInField::SetNavigator() to forward new navigator to
|
|
G4VIntersectionLocator. Corrects handling of parallel geometries.

|
o Enhanced algorithm to speed up Brent intersection locator for propagation
|
|
in field.
|
|
o Fix in the usage of the geometrical tolerance in G4VIntersectionLocator
|
|
in method AdjustementOfFoundIntersection().

|
|
G4PhantomParameterisation. Added protection to GetMaterialIndex()
|
|
for zero index.

o Implemented speed improvements and corrections in G4Sphere from joint
|
|
code review: cached computation for half-tolerances and use of Boolean
|
|
flag for identifying if full-sphere, shell or section; implemented
|
|
caching of trigonometric values, now directly computed inside modifiers
|
|
for Phi and Theta angles as required for parametrised cases;
|
|
rationalised usage of relative radial tolerances.
|
|
o Implemented correction to G4Sphere::DistanceToOut(p,v, ...) for phi
|
|
sections for rays passing through zero.
|
|
o G4Tubs, G4Cons: rationalised usage of modifiers for Phi angles and
|
|
simplified constructors.
|
|
+ solids/specific:
|
|
o Corrected implementation of GetSurfaceArea() in base class G4VCSGFaceted,
|
|
which was erroneously returning cubic volume estimation. Addresses
|
|
problem report #1062.
|
|
o Relaxed error condition in G4TessellatedSolid::Inside(p) to warning,
|
|
for excess of max trials and anomalous conditions in distance
|
|
calculation. Added more printout information when error condition is
|
|
detected.
|
|
|
|
o Global:
|
|
------
|
|
+ G4PhysicsVector: added method ComputeSecondDerivatives() for the case
|
|
when user provides first derivative at end-points (4 bins minimum);
|
|
use "Not-a-Knot" algorithm for computing second derivatives
|
|
in default method FillSecondDerivatives() (5 bins minimum);
|
|
for smaller number of bins the linear interpolation is used.
|
|
+ Added G4ErrorStage enum to G4ErrorPropagatorData class.
|
|

|
|
|
|
o Graphical Representations:
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
+ G4VVisManager: added notify scene handlers (G4VGraphicsScene objects)
|
|
which inform that the scene has changed, so that handlers can
|
|
rebuild their graphics database (if it exists) and redraw all views.
|
|
+ G4VMarker: added enum 'SizeType' {none, world, screen};
|
|
added GetSizeType() and SetSize/Diameter/Radius() methods.
|
|
|
|
o Intercoms:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ G4UIcommandTree: improved completion of commands for GUIs by sharing
|
|
code of X and Xm drivers with the Qt driver.

|
|
---------
|
|
+ Implemented migration of ICRU 73 stopping power classes to the
|
|
G4VIonDEDXTable interface:
|
|
o Access methods of physics vectors have changed (vectors can also be
|
|
identified via atomic number of material if material is pure);
|
|
o Classes now deliver mass stopping powers instead of stopping powers
|
|
per unit length
|
|
o Dependency on ICRU 73 material densities was removed (no densities
|
|
are included in the classes anymore).
|
|
o Stopping power vectors are now built on request.
|
|
+ G4IonStoppingICRU73: extended upper limit of the data vector from
|
|
10 MeV to 1 GeV, using 53 bins; added G4WATER data and fixed GetDEDX()
|
|
methods in these classes for E=10 MeV (upper limit).
|
|
+ G4NistMaterialBuilder: mean ionisation potential for G4_WATER is changed
|
|
to 78 eV according to GSI Annual Report (2008) p.373, in order to be
|
|
consistent with ICRU'73 tables.
|
|
+ Fixed ICRU'73 data for G4WATER, G4WATER_VAPOR, G4NYLON-6/6 (in
|
|
G4MaterialStoppingICRU73) and G4_Cu (in G4SimpleMaterialStoppingICRU73).
|
|
+ New utility class G4ExtDEDXTable to handle external electronic
|
|
stopping power tables for ions.
|
|
+ Use 'const' references for strings as arguments/return-values in material
|
|
properties tables and related classes. Inlined methods and minor cleanup.
|
|
+ Added Entries() method to G4MaterialPropertyVector and accessors for maps
|
|
in G4MaterialPropertiesTable, required for internal use in persistency of
|
|
material properties. Make visible GetEntry() accessor in
|
|
G4MaterialPropertyVector for use restricted to persistency.
|
|
|
|
o Particles:
|
|
---------
|
|
+ Added method GetNuclearMass(A,Z) in G4NuclearProperty.
|
|
+ Use new class G4NucleiPropertiesTableAME03 for atomic masses. Including
|
|
data updated to the Ame-2003 atomic mass evaluation (II) by G.Audi,
|
|
A.H.Wapstra and C.Thibault, Nuclear Physics A729, 2003.
|
|
+ Ensure that the boost beta value is less than 1 in
|
|
G4MuonRadiativeDecayChannelWithSpin.
|
|
+ Added CalculateAnomaly() method for magnetic moment in
|
|
G4ParticleDefinition.
|
|
+ Fixed use of std::fabs() in place of std::abs().
|
|
|
|
o Persistency (GDML):
|
|
------------------
|
|
+ Correction in materials and solids tags to allow parsing of
|
|
definitions within the tag scope; possibility foreseen by the schema.
|
|
+ Correction in G4GDMLWriteSolids::BooleanWrite() in order to handle
|
|
cases of nested displaced solids given to both operands in a Boolean
|
|
operation (ATLAS use case).
|
|
+ Implemented virtual layer to allow customisation of the writer for
|
|
user-extended schemas.
|
|
+ Implemented ability to write surface properties associated to volumes
|
|
and material properties.
|
|
+ Allow for reading/writing of constant material properties.
|
|
+ Defined missing copy constructor and operator=() to G4GDMLMatrix
|
|
internal class, to avoid cases of memory corruption when handling
|
|
matrices.
|
|
+ Restricted usage of loops only for placement of volumes. Now correctly
|
|
handles most common use-case of multiple copies of the same volume/solid
|
|
through loop statement. Addressing problem report #1063.
|
|
+ Renamed flag for maximum number of transformations applied to a solid
|
|
and moved to G4GDMLWriteSolids base class.
|
|
+ Code cleanup: rationalised inclusion of headers, replacing them with
|
|
forward declarations where possible.
|
|
+ Added empty default constructor and virtual destructor to classes in the
|
|
inheritance chain.

|
|
o Physics Lists:
|
|
-------------
|
|

|
|
6 and 8 GeV.
|
|
+ Added MaxEnergy() method in FTF builders.
|
|
+ Added two new physics lists QGSC_QGSC and QGSC_CHIPS.
|
|
QGSC_QGSC physics list uses the QGS model with the MultiSoft
|
|
interface to CHIPS at all energies, starting from E=0. For neutrons
|
|
it still uses LEP (LHEP) models for the radioactive capture and fission.
|
|
QGSC_CHIPS physics list uses the QGS model with the EnergyFlow
|
|
interface to CHIPS at all energies. For the pA interactions the
|
|
native CHIPS process G4QCollision is used below 290 MeV. The QGSC and
|
|
G4QCollision processes are unified in one process by the CHIPS
|
|
G4QDiscProcessMixer interface. Added the corresponding physics builders.
|
|
+ Added new physics-lists with special EM options: FTFP_BERT_EMV,
|
|
FTFP_BERT_EMX, QGSP_BERT_EMX, QGSP_BIC_EMY (opt3 EM physics).

|
|
for e+-.
|
|

|
|
+ G4EmStandardPhysics_option3: use updated multiple scattering model
|
|
G4UrbanMscModel2 and G4RayleighScattering process.
|
|
+ Fix in G4HadronInelasticQBBC: cross sections are created dynamically
|
|
not by value, fission only instantiated for HP.
|
|
+ Fix to address problem report #1056: all cross section data sets are
|
|
created dynamically and no longer member of the class.
|
|
+ Inline constructor and destructors are moved to source for classes:
|
|
G4VNeutronBuilder, G4VPiKBuilder, G4VProtonBuilder, G4WarnPLStatus.

|
|
manifesting in problems with forming hadrons.
|
