0086 <H2>2. Supported CLHEP and VecGeom version</H2>
0087
0088 This release of Geant4 requires and has been verified with
0089 <A TARGET="ext" HREF="http://cern.ch/clhep/">CLHEP</A>, release <B>2.4.1.3</B>.
0090 Use of a different CLHEP version may cause incorrect simulation results.<BR>
0091 NOTE: an internal module of the relevant CLHEP classes is provided and can be
0092 used as alternative to an external CLHEP library installation.<BR>
0093 A configuration option allows a Geant4 installation to use the
0094 <A HREF="https://gitlab.cern.ch/VecGeom/VecGeom/">VecGeom Library</A>
0095 primitives, to replace the original Geant4 solids. VecGeom version
0096 <B>1.1.5</B> is required when using such configuration.

0112 <B>General</B>

0114 <UL>
0115 <LI>Minimum required version of CMake to build Geant4 is 3.8.</LI>
0116 <LI>Pre-processor flags are promoted to fixed <TT>#define</TT> statements in
0117 a generated header. User code relying on these macros should
0118 include the <TT>G4Types.hh</TT> header to make them available.</LI>
0119 <LI>The preprocessor macros G4UI_USE and G4VIS_USE are removed.</LI>
0120 <LI>The Debug build mode no longer enables Floating Point Exceptions.
0121 Please use the new Debug_FPE build mode if your application requires FPE.</LI>
0122 <LI>Support for Qt4 UI/Vis is deprecated.</LI>

0125 <P> </P>
0126 <B>Analysis</B>
0127 <P> </P>
0128 <UL>
0129 <LI>The last two optional arguments of the analysis manager function
0130 <TT>SetNtupleMerging()</TT> have been removed and these parameters
0131 can be changed only via the dedicated functions:
0132 <TT>SetNtupleRowWise()</TT>, <TT>SetBasketSize()</TT> and
0133 <TT>SetBasketEntries()</TT>.</LI>
0134 </UL>

0136 <P> </P>
0137 <B>Geometry, Fields and Transportation</B>
0138 <P> </P>
0139 <UL>
0140 <LI>The default integration method for propagation in magnetic fields is
0141 changed, to select between the new interpolation-capable integration
0142 scheme, for shorter steps, and a helix-based scheme which is chosen for
0143 steps larger than <TT>2*pi</TT> times the curvature radius at the initial
0144 location.</LI>
0145 <LI>Once integration in field require more than a threshold (default 200)
0146 integration substeps within a single physical step, there is a relaxation
0147 of the criteria which breaks the curved trajectory into linear segments
0148 for intersecting with the setup's geometry.
0149 This criteria is governed by the parameter <I>delta chord</I>.
0150 Once the threshold is reached, its value is temporarily doubled.
0151 So subsequent integration substeps are made so that a chord's sagitta is
0152 now less than twice the <I>delta chord</I>.
0153 <UL>
0154 <LI>Every time the number of iterations reaches a new multiple of 100 (the
0155 increase value), the maximum sagitta distance (delta chord) is again
0156 temporarily doubled for the rest of this tracking step.</LI>
0157 <LI>This affects only particles below the 'important' energy threshold when
0158 using G4Transportation only, (currently not G4CoupledTransporation)
0159 which would otherwise be abandoned after a set maximum number of
0160 substeps (default=<TT>1000</TT>).</LI>
0161 <LI>To control the previous behaviour, use the G4PropagatorInField's method
0162 <TT>SetIterationsToIncreaseChordDistance()</TT> to set the number of
0163 iterations between increase; note that the initial threshold is twice
0164 this value. To restore previous behaviour set it to <TT>500</TT>.</LI>
0165 <LI>In a multi-threaded application, each thread must change this threshold,
0166 e.g. by calling this method in your G4UserRunAction's
0167 <TT>BeginOfRunAction()</TT>.</LI>
0168 <LI>This does not occur if the alternative transportation process
0169 G4CoupledTransportation is used, i.e. when one or more parallel
0170 geometries are created for scoring, event biasing, parallel mass
0171 geometry or other use(s).</LI>
0172 </UL></LI>
0173 <LI>An application which uses an external gravitational field must enable the
0174 use of gravity by calling G4Transportation's static method
0175 <TT>EnableGravity()</TT>. This change was introduced in order to call
0176 the <TT>ConfigureForTrack()</TT> method of G4FieldManager only for
0177 charged particles by default. Example <I>field06</I> in
0178 <TT>examples/extended/field</TT> illustrates this.</LI>

0220 <H2>4. New Developments and Capabilities </H2>
0221
0222 <B>General</B>
0223 <UL>
0224 <LI>Reviewed G4PhysicsVector adding an additional Value() method option to
0225 propagate down the known log-energy value. This helps avoiding log() calls
0226 when log-vector is used.</LI>
0227 <LI>Added functionality in G4DynamicParticle to provide log-kinetic energy
0228 value, computed only on demand if its stored value is not up-to-date with
0229 the kinetic energy. Reviewed EM processes to select the target atom by
0230 making use of the already known log-energy value in the log-vector access.
0231 Providing measurable CPU speedup.</LI>
0232 <LI>Enhanced UI commands to now return proper return code when they are not
0233 successful.</LI>
0234 <LI>Introduced ability to perform leading particle biasing.</LI>
0235 </UL>
0236
0237 <B>Analysis</B>
0238 <UL>
0239 <LI>Added a new factory function <TT>ManagerInstance()</TT> in G4Analysis,
0240 which allows to create the analysis manager of the type selected via a
0241 string argument and so to choose the output type at run time.</LI>
0242 <LI>Switched the default Root n-tuple merge mode to new column-wise mode
0243 with preserving rows and added a second, optional, argument in the
0244 <TT>SetNtupleRowWise()</TT> function which can be used to override the
0245 defaults.</LI>
0246 </UL>
0247
0248 <B>Digitization & Hits</B>
0249 <UL>
0250 <LI>Added G4TScoreNtupleWriter and G4TScoreNtupleWriterMessenger which
0251 implement storing hits collections of G4THitsMap type vith Geant4 analysis
0252 tools, defined in G4VcoreNtupleWriter. Its usage is demonstrated in basic
0253 examples B3 and B4d.</LI>
0254 </UL>
0255
0256 <B>Geometry and Field</B>
0257 <UL>
0258 <LI>Enabled VecGeom wrapper for G4GenericPolycone, G4EllipticalTube,
0259 G4EllipticalCone and G4Ellipsoid. Requiring VecGeom version 1.1.5.</LI>
0260 <LI>Added support for writing out assemblies envelopes in GDML.</LI>
0261 <LI>Added hooks for capability to navigate in <I>external</I> geometry with
0262 custom navigation.</LI>
0263 <LI>Completed the development of integration driver with 'interpolation'
0264 capability.
0265 It estimates the position, momentum (and potentially other state,
0266 e.g. polarisation) at intermediate values of the integration interval.
0267 During the integration, one or more intervals are used to move the track's
0268 state. For each interval a different instance of the stepper is used.
0269 Subsequent calls for intermediate points (e.g. to locate the intersection
0270 of the curved trajectory with a boundary) use the interpolation capability
0271 using the existing data (stored in the earlier stepping), instead of
0272 re-integration which involves re-evaluating the field and equation of
0273 motion. Note: currently this can be used only with G4DormandPrince745
0274 Runge Kutta integration method.</LI>
0275 <LI>Completed new multiplexing integration driver G4BFieldIntegrationDriver
0276 for magnetic fields, that enables mixing between two methods (drivers)
0277 based on the ratio of the proposed step length and the step curvature at
0278 the track's initial position.
0279 One method is selected for shorter steps, and a different method for steps
0280 longer than <TT>2*pi</TT> (estimation for uniform field). The default driver
0281 created in G4ChordFinder's constructor and G4FieldManager's
0282 <TT>CreateChordFinder()</TT> now creates it; it uses the interpolation
0283 driver with the Dormand Prince 5/4th order Runge-Kutta method for short
0284 steps, and for longer steps it uses the G4HelixHeum method which can
0285 integrate over a large number of helical turns in a sufficiently slowly
0286 varying field.
0287 Enabled by default stepping using interpolation in field propagation.</LI>
0288 </UL>
0289
0290 <B>Materials</B>
0291 <UL>
0292 <LI>Added G4DensityEffectCalculator: new class, providing on fly computation
0293 of the density effect correction using "exact" formulas.</LI>
0294 <LI>Added ICRU90 data for ion ionisation.</LI>
0295 </UL>
0296
0297 <B>Electromagnetic physics</B>
0298 <UL>
0299 <LI>Optimised step limitation in G4UrbanMscModel and modified lateral
0300 displacement sampling.</LI>
0301 <LI>New helper class G4NIELCalculator, to compute NIEL in user stepping
0302 action or sensitive detector code.</LI>
0303 <LI>Added handling of UI thermalization model control in DNA physics lists.</LI>
0304 </UL>
0305
0306 <B>Hadronic physics</B>
0307 <UL>
0308 <LI>Use Glauber-Gribov cross-sections for hyperons and anti-hyperons for
0309 both elastic and inelastic hadron-nucleus interactions.</LI>
0310 <LI>Extended hadron-nucleon cross-sections to charmed and bottom hadrons
0311 (mesons and baryons). Note: these cross-sections are meant to be used
0312 by Glauber-Gribov charmed and bottom hadron nuclear cross-sections, as
0313 well as by the FTF string model for dealing with charmed and bottom
0314 projectiles; however, the inelastic interactions of charmed and bottom
0315 projectiles are not yet included in reference physics lists.</LI>
0316 <LI>Removed tracking cut in hadron-elastic and use numerically safer
0317 computation for very low-energy projectile.</LI>
0318 <LI>Use FTFP also for the annihilation at rest of neutral anti-hadrons.</LI>
0319 <LI>Added new gamma-nuclear model based on pre-compound de-excitation.</LI>
0320 <LI>Added spontaneous fission channel in radioactive-decay.</LI>
0321 <LI>High energy extension of the neutrino-electron cross sections,
0322 for both charged-current and neutral-current interactions
0323 (M_W and M_Z propagator factors and Glashow resonance), for all neutrino
0324 and anti-neutrino flavours.</LI>
0325 </UL>
0326
0327 <B>Physics Lists</B>
0328 <UL>
0329 <LI>Changed transition region between hadronic string and intra-nuclear cascade
0330 models: now it is <TT>[3, 6] GeV</TT> consistently for all particle types
0331 (nucleons, pions, kaons, hyperons, ions and gammas; for anti-baryons,
0332 instead, FTFP is still used for all energies). Note: this does not affect
0333 the physics lists FTFP_BERT_ATL, NuBeam, ShieldingM, and those based on
0334 INCLXX. Moreover, for the QGS-based physics lists, the transition between
0335 FTFP and QGSP remains unchanged in the region <TT>[12, 25] GeV</TT>.</LI>
0336 <LI>Added (consistently) RadioactiveDecay to all physics lists which use
0337 NeutronHP. Note: this affects the physics lists FTFP_BERT_HP, QGSP_BERT_HP,
0338 FTFP_INCLXX_HP and QGSP_INCLXX_HP, whereas Shielding, LBE, QGSP_BIC_HP and
0339 QGSP_BIC_AllHP had it already.</LI>
0340 <LI>A new stopping physics constructor (G4StoppingPhysicsFritiofWithBinaryCascade)
0341 has been introduced, which uses Fritiof (FTF) coupled with Binary cascade
0342 (BIC) for the anti-baryon annihilation at rest. It is used only in the
0343 physics lists FTF_BIC and QGS_BIC.</LI>
0344 </UL>
0345
0346 <B>Visualization and Interfaces</B>
0347 <UL>
0348 <LI>New set of UI commands and improvements in visualization.
0349 Added new UI commands for view interpolation and centering.</LI>
0350 <LI>Introducing cloud drawing style in visualization, using kernel algorithms
0351 for generating points on the surface of volumes, by-passing polyhedral
0352 representations; the solid is being visualised by a polymarker of dots.</LI>

0462 <TT>#define/#undef</TT> as appropriate: G4USE_STD11, G4MULTITHREADED,
0463 G4_STORE_TRAJECTORY, G4VERBOSE, GEANT4_USE_TIMEMORY.
0464 Promoted VecGeom pre-processor flags to fixed <TT>#defines</TT> as well.
0465 Ensuring the header is included by primary "global" category headers
0466 so that all categories will pick up the changes transparently.
0467 Removed use of add_definitions of CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS to set these flags
0468 in Geant4 and client scripts.</LI>
0469 <LI>Removed G4FPE_DEBUG from build mode "Debug". Added new build mode
0470 "Debug_FPE" same as "Debug" mode but appending -DG4FPE_DEBUG.</LI>

0479 <LI>Using target_XXX usage requirements to transport header paths and links.
0480 Removed requirement to use complete include_directories chain in Module
0481 sources.cmake files. Retain exported "Geant4_INCLUDE_DIR{S}" variables
0482 in case clients use Root dictionary generation (which does not
0483 understand usage requirements of targets until latest versions).
0484 Removed remaining -D flags set via add_definitions, moving to
0485 target_compile_definitions.</LI>
0486 <LI>Namespace exported targets with "Geant4::" to enforce use of targets
0487 and prevent accidental linkage via <TT>-lG4name</TT> expansion.</LI>
0488 <LI>Migrate use of all external packages to use and refind exported targets,
0489 with shim scripts to support CMake versions from 3.8 at build/use time.</LI>
0490 <LI>Store build-time locations of used external packages in an optionally
0491 installable CMake script for reuse, if present, by Geant4Config.cmake
0492 in refinding packages.</LI>
0493 <LI>Require MSVC 19.20 (Visual Studio 2019) or newer as minimum required
0494 version to build Geant4 on Windows. Needed to support use full C++17
0495 Standard. Default C++ Standard with MSVC is now C++17.</LI>
0496 <LI>Removed old genwindef method of generating DLL symbol exports, as
0497 minimum cmake version of 3.8 fully supports direct generation via
0498 target properties.</LI>
0499 <LI>Removed GEANT4_FORCE_QT4 option, deprecating Qt4 support. Retain
0500 fallback to finding Qt4, emitting a CMake warning that use of Qt4 is
0501 deprecated.</LI>
0502 <LI>Disabled configuration for Wt UI/Vis driver, as no longer supported.</LI>
0503 <LI>Updated scripts to support the TiMemory find_package COMPONENTS and
0504 the INTERFACE library generation.</LI>
0505 <LI>Fixed logic of setting up components in Geant4Config.cmake.

0904 <LI>Changed <TT>G4VPhysicalVolume::VolumeType()</TT> to be virtual.
0905 Required for addition of External Navigation, which adds an 'external'
0906 physical volume type (for use with an External sub-Navigator).</LI>
0907 <LI>Revised G4LogicalVolume to cope with 'external' type of physical
0908 volumes. Use stored volume type in <TT>CharacteriseDaughters()</TT>.
0909 These revisions are independent and backward compatible.</LI>
0910 <LI>G4LogicalVolume: added method <TT>ChangeDaughtersType()</TT> to change
0911 the volume type for <TT>CharacterisedDaughters()</TT>. It enables the
0912 user to turn over responsibility for navigation in that volume to an
0913 external navigator.
0914 This is for use when one or more daughter volumes are created as an
0915 existing physical volume type (typically <TT>G4PVPlacement</TT>). It
0916 can also be used to enable to create a (logical) volume which containts
0917 a mixture of existing Geant4 physical volume types and user-created
0918 'external' physical volume type (with type code <TT>kExternal</TT>):
0919 Geant4 types must be created first, and then <TT>ChangeDaughtersType()</TT>
0920 must be called to change the mother's attribute to <TT>kExternal</TT>.
0921 Note: only one type of sub-navigator will be called to find a track's
0922 intersection (or the location of a point) in all daughters of one
0923 mother volume. The sub-navigator chosen will correspond to the volume
0924 type assigned.</LI>

0932 <LI>Improved information in G4Exceptions for particles stuck due to

0934 <LI>Added hooks for capability to navigate in 'external' geometry:
0935 new base class G4VExternalNavigation for external 'sub'-navigator;
0936 new type of 'External' physical volume, to flag volumes for
0937 external sub-navigator; revisions to G4Navigator to dispatch logical
0938 volumes with daughters which are of 'external' physical-volume type.
0939 An 'external' sub-navigator can be registered with G4Navigator;
0940 'placement' and 'external' physical volumes cannot be currently
0941 mixed inside the same logical volume.</LI>
0942 <LI>Added <TT>Clone()</TT> method in G4Navigator, to allow for 'cloning' the
0943 navigator for G4VIntersectionLocator's 'helper', and potentially for
0944 worker threads.</LI>
0945 <LI>G4TransportationManager: enable worker threads to clone G4Navigator if
0946 needed. Keep first navigator created; by convention that will be the
0947 navigator object of the master thread (or the only thread). Other
0948 (worker) threads will clone the first navigator, if it has an external
0949 sub-navigator registered. This ensures that they clone the ability to
0950 navigate in 'external' volume descriptions.</LI>
0951 <LI>G4MultiLevelLocator: avoid re-estimating endpoint if driver does not
0952 re-integrate when <TT>AccurateAdvance()</TT> is called.</LI>
0953 <LI>Introduced temporary 'relaxation' (increase) of the value of delta-chord,
0954 in G4PropagatorInField, to enable larger steps, after a threshold number
0955 of iterations (parameter). Added methods to get/set the parameter that
0956 controls after how many integration substeps (in one physics step) the
0957 increase of the chord distance is trigerred.</LI>

1441 (c, b) quarks, charmed and bottom hadrons can be produced: only heavy
1442 mesons and baryons that can fly macroscopic distances are considered
1443 as candidate final states.
1444 Note: this extension has required also to extend the list of diquarks
1445 available in Geant4, to add those made with charm and bottom quarks.</LI>
1446 <LI>G4FTFParameters: extended FTF configuration interface to include

1449 for hadron projectiles different from pions, kaons, nucleons and
1450 anti-nucleons, in the method <TT>InitForInteraction()</TT>.
1451 In <TT>GetMinMass()</TT>, fixed a bug in the computation of the quark
1452 type (which affects the estimated minimal string mass produced in
1453 diffraction); added also protections to make sure that the quark type
1454 is always one of the five considered (u, d, s, c, b).
1455 Absolute (rather than signed) charge for antibaryon is now correctly
1456 taken in the method <TT>InitForInteraction()</TT>.
1457 Fixed creation/destruction/use of Glauber-Gribov cross-section and
1458 fixed a memory leak. Added protection for possible division by zero
1459 due to zero elastic cross-section.
1460 Replaced Chips hadron-nucleon (total and elastic) cross-sections with
1461 the Barashenkov-Glauber-Gribov (BGG) cross-sections for ordinary (i.e.
1462 non-heavy) hadrons (for heavy hadrons, only BGG cross-section are
1463 available and used).
1464 Set parameters of a string kink in the constructor (instead of setting

1466 are currently switched off, so this fix does not affect any physics
1467 result.</LI>

1630 <LI>G4DynamicParticle: added functionality to provide log-kinetic energy
1631 value, computed only on demand if its stored value is not up-to-date
1632 with the kinetic energy.
1633 Changed <TT>SetMass()</TT> method, now inlined and allowing setting mass of a
1634 particle to PDG value, which is needed in order to recover secondary
1635 hadrons to the mass shell.
1636 Code cleanup: moved data members to be private; aligned class members
1637 3-vectors, doubles, integer; added method <TT>SetPolarisation()</TT>;
1638 removed unused forward declarations and headers; keep formatting
1639 of the class in one style, removed extra empty lines.</LI>
1640 <LI>G4ShortLivedConstructor: extended method <TT>ConstructQuarks()</TT> to
1641 include diquarks made of charm and/or bottom quarks. The new, heavy diquarks
1642 and anti-diquarks have been defined with basic, rough properties (just
1643 those currently needed by the hadronic string models): future refinements
1644 are expected.</LI>
1645 <LI>G4NucleiProperties: added a simplified parameterisation variant with not too
1646 high mass values, to allow decaying fragments produced by some hadronic models
1647 and consisting of only neutrons or protons; also light ion masses computation
1648 is more thread safe after change of the order of mass computation.</LI>

1864 <LI>Introducing cloud drawing style. New parameter candidate 'cloud' in
1865 <TT>/vis/viewer/set/style</TT>.
1866 Cloud drawing uses <TT>solid->GetPointOnSurface()</TT>,
1867 i.e., uses kernel algorithms and by-passes polyhedral representations.
1868 The solid is represented by a polymarker of dots. The default number of
1869 points is 1000. This can be changed with the command
1870 <TT>/vis/viewer/set/numberOfCloudPoints</TT>; the minimum number is 100.
1871 Note that OpenGL has a fast algorithm for polymarker.
1872 This allows us to use cloud style both as a choice or as fallback when
1873 the polyhedral representation fails, for example, when BooleanProcessor
1874 fails.</LI>

1884 <LI>Reworked <TT>/vis/scene/add/eventID</TT> command: just writes a summary
1885 at end of run; except when reviewing, kept events one by one, in which
1886 case it writes run and event no for each event.</LI>
1887 <LI>Ensure <TT>/vis/drawTree</TT> works even if vis is disabled.</LI>
1888 <LI>Added copy number parameter to <TT>/vis/touchable/findPath</TT>.</LI>
1889 <LI>Implemented <TT>/vis/set/extentForField</TT> command: the default is a
1890 null extent, which is to be interpreted by the field model as the whole
1891 extent of the current scene. Otherwise, with this command, one can
1892 limit the extent over which the field is drawn. This would help, for
1893 example, if drawing over the whole scene produced so many arrows or
1894 lines that it clutters the scene. Changed the default spacing:
1895 the parameter <TT>nDataPointsPerHalfExtent</TT> is changed from 10 to 3,
1896 so as not to clutter the scene. See guidance of
1897 <TT>/vis/scene/add/*Field</TT> commands for further explanation.</LI>
1898 <LI>Provide ability to draw electric fields, and eventually any other
