Geometry working group
Work Plan for 2009
NOTE: Dates assigned to items are to be considered just indicative.
Items marked with
refer to
new developments.
Items marked with
will
involve new man-power or contribution from external sources interested in
the project.
Items marked with
will
require coordination with more than one Working Group.
- Navigation & optimisation:
- Usage of safety on exiting surfaces in navigator
- Implementation of precise ComputeSafety() in navigation for EM use
- Interoperability of multiple navigators/geometries

- Improvement in verbosity and control at step number in navigation
- Study adoption of direction in replica navigation
- Robustness checking & performance tuning:
- Review response precision of solids on points close to surface
and normals. Verify accuracy of 2nd order equations
- Focus on tests for solids on complex cases

- Analysis of challenging test cases for Boolean solids

- General code review and improvements:
- Continue code review for selected CSG shapes

- Extension of G4Region to local magnetic fields

- Prototype new interface for field accuracy settings

- Code review of field intersection locator classes
- New features:
- First prototype of BREPS solids by surface extrusion and rotation

- Detector description persistency:
- Customised GDML writer for schema extensions
- Routine activities
- Extend testing suite for solids (CSG/specific/Boolean/BREPS)
- Review of user documentation and publication of a paper on a
refereed journal
