|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | o Configuration:
|
|---|
| 10 | -------------
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 12 | + Linux-icc.gmk: updated setup to make use of icc-10.1 and ifort-10.1;
|
|---|
| 13 | changed compilation option "-mp" to more performant "-fp_model precise".
|
|---|
| 14 | + Linux-g++.gmk: Replaced g77 with gfortran compiler.
|
|---|
| 15 |
|
|---|
| 16 | o Environments:
|
|---|
| 17 | ------------
|
|---|
| 18 | + Fixed compilation problems.
|
|---|
| 19 | + Make direct usage of tags in G4Version header.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | o Geometry:
|
|---|
| 22 | --------
|
|---|
| 23 | + Cleared compilation warnings detected on gcc-4.3.0.
|
|---|
| 24 | + magneticfield:
|
|---|
| 25 | o Fixed 'unused' non-initialized values of dydx in classes
|
|---|
| 26 | G4EqMagElectricField and G4EqEMFieldWithSpin.
|
|---|
| 27 | + management:
|
|---|
| 28 | o Added missing protected copy-contructor and assignment operator
|
|---|
| 29 | for G4VSolid.
|
|---|
| 30 | o Added Shrink() and Reserve() methods to G4SmartVoxelNode to be used
|
|---|
| 31 | for debugging studies.
|
|---|
| 32 | + navigation:
|
|---|
| 33 | o G4PathFinder: commented out warning and exception in ComputeStep()
|
|---|
| 34 | for steps smaller than minimum threshold.
|
|---|
| 35 | + solids/CSG:
|
|---|
| 36 | o G4Cons: added protection against NaN in GetPointOnSurface() in the
|
|---|
| 37 | case the check is run for Rmax1==Rmax2.
|
|---|

| 41 | o G4ExtrudedSolid: bug fix in MakeFacets() to fill 'fTriangles' also
|
|---|
| 42 | in case of polygon with 3 or 4 vertices, as they are needed for
|
|---|
| 43 | Inside(p). Fix in Inside(p) for correctly handling the case of

| 44 | points located on the edges of triangles which are not the outline
|
|---|
| 45 | edges of the polygon.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 48 | compute normal only if specified by flag in input.
|
|---|
| 49 | o G4Polyhedra: fixed problem of out-of-bound access to vectors in
|

|
|---|
| 52 | in case of configurations where a conic section becomes a tube.
|
|---|
| 53 | Added kCarTolerance in definition of "low" and "high" cone limits
|
|---|
| 54 | in R and in Z in order to protect against numerical errors; this
|
|---|
| 55 | fixes cases of DistanceToIn(p,v) returning 'kInfinity' when p+t*v
|
|---|
| 56 | cross intersection between two cones.
|
|---|
| 57 | o G4EllipticalCone: removed some debug printouts.
|
|---|
| 58 | o G4Hype: refined polyhedron representation for correct visualization
|
|---|
| 59 | of the shape.
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | o Global:
|
|---|
| 62 | ------
|
|---|
| 63 | + Introduced inclusion of <cstring> and <climits> in G4String.hh and
|
|---|
| 64 | templates.hh respectively for porting on gcc-4.3.0 compiler.
|
|---|
| 65 | + Cleared compilation warnings detected on gcc-4.3.0
|
|---|
| 66 | + Removed useless specification of units in implementation of
|
|---|
| 67 | G4GeometryTolerance::SetSurfaceTolerance().
|
|---|
| 68 | + Changed date for patch-02 to release 9.1.
|
|---|
| 69 |
|
|---|
| 70 | o Graphics Representations:
|
|---|
| 71 | ------------------------
|
|---|
| 72 | + Added G4Hype representation to HepPolyhedron and G4Polyhedron.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 74 | gcc-4.3.0 compiler.
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 | o Materials:
|
|---|
| 77 | ---------
|
|---|
| 78 | + G4NistMaterialBuilder: using correct dimension for the density for
|
|---|
| 79 | ConstructNewMaterial() methods.
|
|---|
| 80 | + G4Material: improved printout in error conditions by specifying the
|
|---|
| 81 | name of the material affected.
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | o Particles:
|
|---|
| 84 | ---------
|
|---|
| 85 | + G4ParticleTable: fixed implementation of methods Remove() and
|
|---|
| 86 | RemoveAllParticles() so that particle definition objects are properly
|
|---|
| 87 | deleted when invoking these methods between runs. It's user's
|
|---|
| 88 | responsibility to delete dynamically instantiated particle objects.
|
|---|
| 89 | Added method DeleteAllParticles() to remove and delete all particles
|
|---|
| 90 | in the list. Addressing problem report #1007.
|
|---|
| 91 | + Fixed bugs in G4Iontable::Remove() and G4ShortLivedTable::Remove().

|---|
| 92 |
|
|---|
| 93 | o Physics Lists:
|
|---|
| 94 | -------------
|
|---|
| 95 | + Fixed deletion using uninitialized pointers in FTF-BIC, for classes

|
|---|
| 97 |
|
|---|
| 98 | o Electromagnetic Processes:
|
|---|
| 99 | -------------------------
|
|---|
| 100 | + Standard:
|
|---|
| 101 | o G4UrbanMscModel90, G4UrbanMscModel: fixed asymmetry of lateral
|
|---|
| 102 | displacement.
|
|---|
| 103 | o G4ionIonisation: adopt 'linLossLimit' 0.15 as it was originally in 9.1.
|
|---|
| 104 | o G4IonFluctuations: fixed discontinuity of width correction factor
|
|---|
| 105 | for small velocities and added a protection to its value
|
|---|
| 106 | (factor>1), which fixes very long alpha events.
|
|---|
| 107 | + Utils:
|
|---|
| 108 | o G4EmCorrections: set finite size correction to zero (provides flat
|
|---|
| 109 | distribution of vertex detector response for high energy hadrons).
|
|---|
| 110 | o G4ionEffectiveCharge: minor change of numerical constants to provide
|
|---|
| 111 | continuous change of charge versus energy.
|
|---|
| 112 |
|
|---|
| 113 | o Hadronic Processes:
|
|---|
| 114 | ------------------
|
|---|
| 115 | + Cleared most compilation warnings detected on gcc-4.3.0.
|
|---|
| 116 | + cross_sections:
|
|---|
| 117 | o G4NeutronInelasticCrossSection: fixed bug which used to return zero
|
|---|
| 118 | cross section for 3He.
|
|---|
| 119 | o G4TripathiLightCrossSection: fixed bug in method IsApplicable() to
|
|---|
| 120 | use GetN() instead of GetA() for target.
|
|---|
| 121 | o Added capability to use element-based cross section data
|
|---|
| 122 | sets if no isotope-based ones are available. This is required to
|
|---|
| 123 | get the HP neutron code to work within the cross section framework
|
|---|
| 124 | introduced in version 9.0. Added internal method to class
|
|---|
| 125 | G4CrossSectionDataStore.
|
|---|
| 126 | + models/cascade:
|
|---|
| 127 | o Added Coulomb barrier in G4EquilibriumEvaporator.
|
|---|
| 128 | o Changed pp, nn total cross section parameterization in class
|
|---|
| 129 | G4CascadSpecialFunctions to more closely reflect the PDG values;
|
|---|
| 130 | fixed cross section bug responsible for returning low or zero total
|
|---|
| 131 | cross sections for pi-p, pi+n, np, and pi0 interactions.
|
|---|
| 132 | + models/chiral_inv_phase_space:
|
|---|
| 133 | o Modified G4QElasticCrossSection to fix problem with quasi-elastic.
|
|---|
| 134 | When run together with elastic, the parameters to sample T were not
|
|---|
| 135 | updated, this fix is to always update these.
|
|---|
| 136 | o Fixed case of exceeded boundary bounds in G4QCollision.
|
|---|
| 137 | o Check on tolerance is replaced by check on exact equality for fixing
|
|---|
| 138 | event reproducibility.
|
|---|
| 139 | + models/coherent_elastic:
|
|---|
| 140 | o G4HadronElastic: added extra protection against precision lost
|
|---|
| 141 | when projectile almost lost kinetic energy; set 'lowestEnergyLimit'
|
|---|
| 142 | to be 1.e-6*eV (was 0.0).
|
|---|
| 143 | Added extra protection: if sampled t out of the physics range then
|
|---|
| 144 | no scattering.
|
|---|
| 145 | o G4UHadronElasticProcess: call to G4QElasticCrossSection with option
|
|---|
| 146 | "false", so parameters for sampling of scattering are precalculated.
|
|---|
| 147 | + models/neutron_hp:
|
|---|
| 148 | o Fix against cases of division by zero.
|
|---|
| 149 | o Fixed erroneous condition in G4NeutronHPContAngularPar.

|---|
| 150 | o To increase performance, checking point of "neglecting doppler
|
|---|
| 151 | broadening" flag is changed from GetCrossSection() method to
|
|---|
| 152 | BuildPhysicsTable().
|
|---|
| 153 | + models/theo_high_energy:
|
|---|
| 154 | o Added missing Fermi momentum to quasi elastic scattering.
|
|---|

| 156 | o G4MuMinusCaptureCascade: fixed case of NaN value in bound muon decay.
|
|---|
| 157 |
|
|---|
| 158 | o Generic Processes:
|
|---|
| 159 | -----------------
|
|---|
| 160 | + Decay:
|
|---|
| 161 | o Added protection to properly handle shortlived particles with finite
|
|---|
| 162 | pre-assigned proper time.
|
|---|
| 163 | + Management:
|
|---|
| 164 | o Fixed bug related to invoking ResetNumberOfInteractionLengthLeft()
|
|---|
| 165 | at the zero length step
|
|---|
| 166 | o Allow zero mean free path for PostStepDoIt().
|
|---|
| 167 | + Parameterisation:
|
|---|
| 168 | o Cleared compilation warnings detected on gcc-4.3.0.
|

|---|
| 170 | o Run:
|
|---|
| 171 | ---
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 181 | + extended/field/field02:
|
|---|
| 182 | o Fixed setup to correctly handle electric field.
|
|---|
| 183 | + extended/field/field04:
|
