<H2>3. Items for migration of the user code</H2>
|
|
|
|
Listed here is some relevant information on developments included in this
|
|
release, some of which may require minor migrations for advanced uses of
|
|
features in Geant4 in order to upgrade from release 8.1 to release 8.2.
|
|
Note that a full re-installation of libraries (or a full recompilation) and
|
|
a recompilation of user applications is anyhow required.

|
|
Some improvements were introduced to multiple scattering, which provide
|
|
improved results for large angle scattering; better particle transport near
|
|
geometry boundaries and less cut dependence for sampling calorimeters
|
|
(see details in Physics Reference Manual).<BR>
|
|
A new class <TT>G4hMultipleScattering</TT> has been created to provide faster
|
|
simulation of hadron transport. This class uses the same multiple scattering
|
|
model configured to reduce step limitation. It is used for hadrons and ions
|
|
in most physics lists.<BR>
|
|
A new module polarization is introduced for simulation of circular polarized
|
|
beams of <TT>e+-</TT> and <TT>gamma</TT>.<BR>
|
|
The change in response of calorimeters, due to the revision of the
|
|
multiple scattering process (in its default configuration) is expected
|
|
to be less than 1%. Larger differences are seen in the revised
|
|
configuration, which does not apply most step limitations for electons and
|
|
that is used in the QGSP_EMV physics list.

Reviewed coherent elastic scattering processes: data tables are now computed
|
|
on-flight and the G4ELASTIC data set is no longer necessary.<BR>
|
|
New data sets are required for this release, see details below.

<B>Physics Lists</B>
|
|
<P> </P>
|
|
The physics list module has been moved inside the <TT>source</TT> tree; as
|
|
such it is now built as part of the kernel libraries by default. The number of
|
|
libraries has been reduced to two; it is now possible to use them together
|
|
with shared libraries (or DLL on Windows) and global libraries.
