<H2>4. New Developments and Capabilities </H2>
|

|
|
<B>Analysis</B>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Added support for the input/output in HDF5 format. It requires the HDF5
|
|
libraries installation and Geant4 libraries built with the
|
|
-DGEANT4_USE_HDF5=ON CMake option.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Preserving row-wise ntuple access when ntuple merging is activated with
|
|
the ROOT output in multi-threading mode. The optional column-wise merging
|
|
mode can be selected by the user via the SetNtupleMerging() call to
|
|
G4AnalysisManager.
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<B>Geometry</B>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>A configuration option allows an installation to use the
|
|
<A HREF="https://gitlab.cern.ch/VecGeom/VecGeom/">VecGeom Unified Solids Library</A>
|
|
primitives, to replace the original Geant4 solids, as in the
|
|
previous release. The path to an external installation of the VecGeom
|
|
library (VecGeom version <TT>v00.05.00</TT>) should be specified.
|
|
See the associated instructions file for configuration and installation.</LI>
|
|
<LI>A new stepper, G4DormandPrince457, is now set as the default stepper for
|
|
magnetic fields, if a driver/stepper is not explicitly specified. This is
|
|
the recommended stepper for any type of field, as it requires fewer
|
|
field evaluations per step, and provides higher accuracy than
|
|
G4ClassicalRK4, the old default.</LI>
|
|
<LI>A new construct, G4MultiUnion, is now available as native type. It
|
|
implements a multiple-union of several volumes, each of which is a solid
|
|
with a displacement and a rotation. As with simple unions, the resulting
|
|
volume is a solid filled with a single material.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<B>Electromagnetic physics</B>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>New UI commands and parameters for electromagnetic physics
|
|
are added (see details in Application Development Manual).</LI>
|
|
<LI>Updated version of the Goudsmit-Saunderson model of multiple scattering
|
|
is available.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Revised version of the LivermorePhotoelectricModel is available.</LI>
|
|
<LI>A new interface allows user to define density effect
|
|
parameterisation for a material.</LI>
|
|
<LI>New interfaces are added to G4MaterialPropertyTable providing
|
|
more CPU performant simulation for optical photon transport.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Updated G4LivermorePhotoElectricModel from EPICS 2014.</LI>
|
|
<LI>New Geant4-DNA models from the CPA100 Monte Carlo code for electrons
|
|
in liquid water.</LI>

<B>Hadronic physics</B>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Introduced smearing of resonance masses in Fritiof (FTF) string model.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Extended INCLXX intranuclear cascade model to the strangeness sector, i.e.
|
|
treatment of primary kaons and hyperons, and production of secondary kaons
|
|
and hyperons.</LI>
|
|
<LI>New gamma-nuclear combined final-state model (G4LENDorBERTModel) that uses
|
|
LEND for low-energy (below 20 MeV) gammas, if data available, else BERT model;
|
|
the latter is also used for gammas above 20 MeV.
|
|
For cross-sections, LEND is used for gammas below 20 MeV if data available,
|
|
else the default G4PhotoNuclearCrossSection is used.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Production and transport of long-lived isomers is enabled in hadronic
|
|
models which use native de-excitation module (e.g. not in Bertini if
|
|
it is used with its own precompound/de-excitation).
|
|
Only isomers with a half-life above a time threshold are created:
|
|
by default it is set to 1000 seconds, unless radioactive decay is enabled
|
|
in which case this threshold is 1 microsecond.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Correlated gamma emission in radioactive decay is implemented but
|
|
disabled by default.</LI>
|
|
<LI>When radioactive decay is activated, atomic de-excitation
|
|
(in particular fluorescence and Auger emission) are switched on
|
|
by default (overriding any EM default settings).
|
|
<LI>Added an experimental, alternative implementation of muon stopping
|
|
using muonic atoms. Disabled by default.</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
<B>Particles</B>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Basic functionality of handling muonic atom is introduced.
|
|
To use this functionality, <I>G4MUATOMS_INUSE</I> option
|
|
has to be set at installation.</LI>

<B>Physics Lists</B>
|

<UL>
|
|
<LI>The default EM physics includes the Livermore proto-electric model and
|
|
the Rayleigh scattering process.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Opt4 EM physics includes the Goudsmit-Saunderson model of multiple scattering.</LI>
|
|
<LI>FTFQGSP_BERT: new experimental physics list which is similar to FTFP_BERT, but
|
|
with QGS fragmentation of strings (instead of the Lund string fragmentation).</LI>
|
|
<LI>Added ShieldingLEND as a new physics list, which is similar to Shielding, but
|
|
with LEND for low-energy neutrons and gammas (below 20 MeV if data is available,
|
|
else BERT model is used).</LI>

<LI>CMake:
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>Removed support for modulefile generation, as not used and generated
|
|
files not compatible with relocatability. It's expected that software
|
|
stack managers will generate a modulefile file according to their
|
|
requirements.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Added new module G4CMakeMain.cmake for refactoring core implementation.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Added new GEANT4_USE_HDF5 option (OFF by defaults), to allow user to
|
|
enable Hdf5 support in analysis library. Created a G4HDF INTERFACE target
|
|
for uniform access to HDF5 headers and libraries at build, test and install
|
|
time. Added check for HDF5 installation; requiring HDF5 >= 1.8.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Removed obsolete modules for interfaces provided by CMake built-in
|
|
tools CMakeParseArguments, GNUInstallDirs and commands.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Refactored core Configure/Build and client script modules for clarity
|
|
and cohesion.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Removed obsolete FindCLHEP.cmake module; updated internal/system
|
|
CLHEP selection; simplified location/setup of system CLHEP as CLHEP
|
|
(>= 2.3.3.0) now provides CLHEP_LIBRARIES set with appropriate
|
|
single/granular targets with full usage requirements.

Addressing problem report

|
<A HREF="http://bugzilla-geant4.kek.jp/show_bug.cgi?id=1960">#1960</A>.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Set INSTALL_RPATH for MacOS systems; loading dylibs in Python can lead to
|
|
resolution errors as they cannot locate each other. The option allows to
|
|
append "@loader_path" to the INSTALL_RPATH for all Geant4 libraries.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Updated minimum version for system expat package to be >= 2.0.1,
|
|
according to features required in the g4tools analysis package.

|
<LI>Made G4DormandPrince457 the default stepper for magnetic fields in

|
G4ChordFinder, when a driver/stepper is not specified.</LI>
|
|
<LI>G4FieldManager: revised behaviour of SetDetector(); it now passes the
|
|
Field to the Equation, as is the natural user expectation.
|
|
The previous behaviour is possible, using extra argument 'failMode'
|
|
flag (values: 0 = silent; 1 (default) = warning; 2 or other = fatal
|
|
exception).
|
|
If the field is changed for an existing, working stepper it must be
|
|
propagated to the equation of motion.
|
|
Note: Error reporting behaviour of SetDetector is 'soft'. It does not
|
|
complain by default if G4ChordFinder is not (yet) set (the default
|
|
values of failMode is 0, i.e. quiet); if a chord-finder exists, it
|
|
will still warn for other errors.</LI>

<LI>Introduced G4VIntegrationDriver base class for any driver algorithm.

New concrete classes added: G4IntegrationDriver, implementation of
|
|
templated driver algorithm for non-FSAL explicit Runge-Kutta steppers;
|
|
G4FSALIntegrationDriver, implementation of driver algorithm for
|
|
FSAL explicit Runge-Kutta steppers. G4MagInt_Drv, the old class,
|
|
remains, and can be used with any Runge-Kutta stepper.</LI>
|
|
<LI>Added new steppers G4RK547FEq{1,2,3} which implement 7 stage embedded
|
|
Runge-Kutta pairing 4th and 5th order formulae, with: FSAL property
|
|
('First Same As Last' steppers return derivative at endpoint for use
|
|
in next step); stable equilibrium states (better stability in choosing
|
|
step sizes). Each one can be used with all existing Runge-Kutta drivers.
|
|
<LI>A reduction in the number of field evaluations can be realised
|
|
by using a FSAL steppers (including G4RK547FEq{1,2,3}) together with
|
|
G4FSALIntegrationDriver. This driver is the only one to reuse the
