Geant4 5.1 - patch-01 Release Notes
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
19 May 2003
|
|
|
|
List of fixes included in this public patch to release 5.1:
|
|
|
|
o Electromagnetic processes (standard):
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
+ muons:
|
|
- Commented out debug printout in G4MuPairProduction.
|
|
|
|
o Geometry:
|
|
--------
|
|
+ solids/Boolean:
|
|
- Added set/get methods for scale precision in G4ReflectionFactory.
|
|
+ volumes:
|
|
- G4PropagatorInField.cc: fix in ComputeStep() to avoid step computation
|
|
if proposed step length is too small. Fixes problem noticed in release
|
|
5.1 and occasionally appearing as "Invalid Enum in [solid-type]", also
|
|
registered as problem report #485.
|
|
|
|
o Hadronic processes:
|
|
------------------
|
|
+ models/generator/kinetic_model
|
|
o G4BinaryCascade: fix to cure infinite loop observed in inelastic
|
|
scattering of hydrogen.
|
|
|
|
o Run:
|
|
---
|
|
- G4RunManager: fixed behavior of function DefineWorldVolume()
|
|
to properly reset navigation history and optimisation in case the
|
|
topology of the geometry has changed between runs. Now only a single
|
|
call to DefineWorldVolume() is necessary when changing the geometry.
|
|
Fixes also problem report #481.
|
|
o Added new boolean argument (default set to TRUE) to specify if
|
|
topology has changed.
|
|
o Forced open/close geometry in method ResetNavigator() to properly
|
|
reset G4Navigator status and remove old optimisations.
|
|
|
|
o Examples:
|
|
--------
|
|
- novice/N04
|
|
o Corrected printout.
|
|
- extended/electromagnetic - TestEm1, TestEm2, TestEm3
|
|
o Simplified mechanism for updating geometries between runs,
|
|
according to changes in G4RunManager::DefineWorldVolume().
|
|
