<H2>6. Items for migration of the user code</H2>
|
|
|
|
Some migrations may be necessary for advanced uses of features in Geant4
|
|
in order to upgrade from release 7.1 to release 8.0. Note that a full reinstallation
|
|
of libraries (or a full recompilation) and a recompilation of user applications
|
|
is required.
|
|
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
<B>Creating and instantiating physics lists : impact of the revised, "non-static", particle
|
|
definitions</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
In this release, all particle-definition objects are instantiated dynamically
|
|
when the method <TT>ConstructParticle()</TT> of the user's <TT>G4VUserPhysicsList</TT> is
|
|
called.
|
|
This method is invoked when the user's physics list is assigned to the
|
|
<TT>G4RunManager</TT> (whereas previously it was called at the
|
|
time of
|
|
<TT>G4RunManager::Initialize()</TT>). The new scheme allows the
|
|
user to set a number physics quantities to alternative values (e.g. masses of
|
|
elementary particles) before particles are instantiated with the values provided by Geant4.
|
|
This new scheme creates some restrictions which can
|
|
affect on the existing users's codes, in particular when user-defined
|
|
physics lists are used:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>Physics processes and models must be instantiated in the
|
|
<TT>ConstructProcess()</TT> method of the user's physics list.<BR>
|
|
In particular physics processes or models <em>must not</em> be data members of a physics
|
|
list. The reason is that some existing physics processes and models require
|
|
that particles have been instantiated already. If a process is a data member
|
|
of the physics list, it is instantiated when the physics list's constructor
|
|
is called, and thus before the invocation of <TT>ConstructParticle()</TT>.<BR>
|
|
The "educated-guess" physics lists distributed with previous Geant4 releases
|
|
are affected by this change. The revised physics lists, which are distributed
|
|
with this release, should be used in their place.
|
|
A user adopting his/her own physics list, will need to perform a similar
|
|
revision in case a <TT>G4Exception</tt> with the following message occurs
|
|
when the physics list is instantiated:<BR>
|
|
<em>Error message</em>:
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
Access to G4ParticleTable for finding a particle or equivalent operation
|
|
occurs before G4VUserPhysicsList is instantiated and assigned to
|
|
G4RunManager. Such access is prohibited by Geant4 version 8.0.
|
|
To fix this problem, please make sure that your main() instantiates
|
|
G4VUserPhysicsList and set it to G4RunManager before instantiating
|
|
other user classes such as G4VUserPrimaryParticleGeneratorAction.
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<em>Fix:</em>
|
|
All physics processes and models defined as data members of the physics
|
|
list must be moved to the <TT>ConstructProcess()</TT> method, and must be
|
|
explicitly instantiated by <TT>new</TT> operator. The revised physics lists
|
|
provide a reference for this revision.</LI>
|
|
<LI>User action classes (derived from <TT>G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction,
|
|
G4UserRunAction, G4UserEventAction, G4UserStackingAction,
|
|
G4UserTrackingAction</TT> and <TT>G4UserSteppingAction</TT>) must be
|
|
instantiated after the physics list is instantiated and after it is set to
|
|
<TT>G4RunManager</TT>. Please note that the user's detector construction
|
|
class is a user initialization class and thus is not affected by this
|
|
restriction.<BR>
|
|
The user should revise the <TT>main()</TT> function if the following
|
|
<TT>G4Exception</TT> occurs:<BR>
|
|
<em>Error message</em> (for <TT>G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction</TT>):
|
|
<PRE>
|
|
You are instantiating G4VUserPrimaryGeneratorAction BEFORE your
|
|
G4VUserPhysicsList is instantiated and assigned to G4RunManager.
|
|
Such an instantiation is prohibited by Geant4 version 8.0. To fix this
|
|
problem, please make sure that your main() instantiates G4VUserPhysicsList
|
|
AND set it to G4RunManager before instantiating other user action classes
|
|
such as G4VUserPrimaryParticleGeneratorAction.
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<em>Fix:</em>
|
|
Edit <TT>main()</TT> to make sure all user action classes are
|
|
instantiated after the physics list is set to <TT>G4RunManager</TT>.</LI>

<B><TT>G4VProcess</TT> base class</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
A signature change is implemented in the <TT>G4VProcess</TT> base class.<BR>
|
|
The virtual method <TT>StartTracking()</TT> defined in <TT>G4VProcess</TT>
|
|
now takes <TT>const G4Track*</TT> as argument in its signature. Users
|
|
implementing their own physics process and making use of this virtual
|
|
method, will have to modify the signature accordingly.
|
|
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
<B>Multiple Scattering electromagnetic process</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
In the electromagnetic standard package major changes have been introduced
|
|
concerning the Multiple Scattering process. To improve the behaviour of low
|
|
energy particles (electrons in particular, but affecting also hadrons),
|
|
the Multiple Scattering now limits the step size for the particles. This
|
|
restriction is undertaken using several criteria, and is applied systematically,
|
|
in all volumes and materials. In addition a model of the correlation between
|
|
lateral displacement and final direction has been implemented (see the
|
|
Physics Reference Manual for further information).<BR>
|
|
As a result, most physical observables become more stable when varying
|
|
production cuts (i.e. less "cut dependent"). There is a corresponding
|
|
cost, a CPU-time penalty, when utilising the same value of the production
|
|
thresholds. This penalty can be significant, depending on the user's setup and
|
|
the cut values. For many use cases the increased stability will allow the choice
|
|
of higher production thresholds, recovering computing performance while
|
|
maintaining physics performance.<BR>
|
|
To enable the user to investigate its benefits, a mechanism is provided to
|
|
deactivate this step limitation. The new method <TT>MscStepLimitation(bool)</TT>
|
|
of <tt>G4MultipleScattering</tt> disables these new step limitations.
|
|
In addition, in order to help the transition, the old version is available for
|
|
this release 'frozen' in the class <TT>G4MultipleScattering71</TT>.
|
|
Several examples (in extended/electromagnetic) provide sample physics lists
|
|
which use this older version.

|
|
For setups including parameterised geometries by material, an interface
|
|
extension is introduced in <TT>G4VPVParameterisation</TT> base class for the
|
|
<TT>ComputeMaterial()</TT> method. An optional argument has been added, that
|
|
provides a constant pointer to the touchable of the parent of the current
|
|
volume, enabling access to its copy number and other properties, and those of
|
|
all its ancestor volumes.
|
|
User code making use of this feature will have to be updated accordingly.
|
|
A compilation warning should flag to take into account this interface change.
|
|
<P></P>
|
|
Internal classes implementing the framework for twisted solids have been
|
|
renamed. User code depending on this framework will have to be modified
|
|
accordingly.

<P> </P>
|
|
<B>Fast parameterisation</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
The concept of "envelope" and "ghost-volume" for fast-parameterisation has
|
|
been merged with the <TT>G4Region</TT> in this release. Therefore, a
|
|
logical-volume no longer acts directly as an "envelope", since this attribute
|
|
now assigned to <TT>G4Region</TT>. Please refer to the User Guide for
|
|
Application Developers for the detailed information. The relevant modules have
|
|
migrated accordingly. See <TT>exampleN05</TT> which has been revised to
|
|
demonstrate this new mechanism.
|
|
<P></P>
|
|
A design iteration has taken place for the GFlash fast shower parameterisation
|
|
model and some classes were renamed to follow the new implementation and
|
|
design for envelopes. User code making use of the GFlash tool should migrate
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
<P></P>
|
|
TRD models for cluster parameterisation have been retired. The functionality
|
|
is now provided directly as physics processes and included in the
|
|
<TT>electromagnetic</TT> packages.

<B>Migration to <TT><sstream></TT> from deprecated

<TT><strstream></TT></B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
<TT><strstream></TT> types are no longer in use by the Geant4 kernel in
|
|
this release. Also any protection from compilation warnings by the compiler
|
|
for deprecation of such header are no longer implicitely included. User code
|
|
therefore will be exposed to implement such migration to
|
|
<TT><sstream></TT>, if not already done.

|

<B>System of Units and Physical Constants</B>
|

<P> </P>
|
|
Geant4 8.0 can be used either with version 1.9.2.2 of CLHEP or 2.0.2.2.
|
|
Explicit usage of the <TT>CLHEP</TT> and <TT>HepGeom</TT> namespaces is
|
|
made in the Geant4 code. However, for what concerns Units and Physical
|
|
Constants, these are still kept available in the global namespace for

|
convenience and backward-compatibility.

<LI>Added <em>enhanced trajectory drawing</em> to let interactively change
|
|
how trajectories are modeled. Initial options are
|
|
<TT>/vis/modeling/trajectories/create/drawByCharge</TT> and
|
|
<TT>/vis/modeling/trajectories/create/drawByParticleID</TT>, with
|
|
additional commands to set specific colors.
|
|
Coming in the next release will be <TT>drawByMomentum</TT>,
|
|
<TT>drawByOriginLogicalVolume</TT>, etc.
|
|
There is also a mechanism to let define a user's own <tt>drawBy</tt>
|
|
class and then invoke it from the command line. More information can
|
|
be found in the User Guide for Application Developers.</LI>

<LI>Non-uniform scaling is now supported, <TT>/vis/viewer/scale</TT>
|
|
(and <TT>scaleTo</TT>). Like <TT>zoom</TT> (and <TT>zoomTo</TT>) but
|
|
provides different scale factors along different axes (OpenGL and
|
|
OpenInventor).</LI>

<LI>Comand <TT>/tracking/storeTrajectory 1</TT> is now issued
|
|
automatically when doing <TT>/vis/scene/add/trajectories</TT>.</LI>
