3. Known Run-Time Problems and Limitations
For a complete list of outstanding run-time problems and to submit any
problem you may find running this version of Geant4, please refer to the
Geant4 Problem Reporting
System.
4. Compilation Warnings
There may be compilation warnings on some platforms. We do not believe
that any will lead to incorrect run-time behaviour.
5. Known Run-Time Warnings
The following message can be written to error output while tracking.
We believe it does not give rise to incorrect behaviour.
G4PropagateInField: Warning: Particle is looping
- tracking in field will be stopped.
It has performed 1000 steps in Field while a maximum of 1000
are allowed.
6. Items for migration of the user code
Some minor migrations may be necessary for advanced uses of features in Geant4 in
order to upgrade from release 7.0 to release 7.1, a full recompilation and/or
reinstallation of libraries and user applications is anyhow required.
New Installation flags
Some installation flags have been introduced or slightly modified:
- G4LIB_BUILD_ZLIB, G4LIB_USE_ZLIB: building the zlib file compression
module has now become optional. It is not required on UNIX-like platforms where the
built-in zlib library is used, while it is optional on Windows where it is
disabled by default.
- G4LIB_BUILD_G3TOG4, G4LIB_USE_G3TOG4: now required to build and use the optional
g3tog4 module.
New Data libraries
New data libraries for "low-energy" processes (G4LOWEN-3.0) and "elastic scattering"
at high-energy (G4ELASTIC-1.1) should be used in this release.
User defined solids
User codes which include implementations of customised solids are required to slightly
modify their implementation of the helper method for visualization
DescribeYourselfTo() to replace the call to AddThis() with
AddSolid().
7. Detailed list of changes and fixes
These are the main new features/fixes included in this release since the
last patched public release (for the detailed list of fixes/additions,
please refer to the related History files provided in most packages):
Configuration
- Configure script:
- Now setting a unique entry point for path to data; added also settings for
new data sets (low-energy-EM and elastic-scattering).
- Updated variable settings for G3toG4 module and zlib.
- Corrected text where necessary.
- Added printout of Geant4 version at build startup and removed verbose output
from libmap stage.
- Modified clean targets to allow multiple clean rules.
- Setup variables:
- Changed G4USE_G4TOG4 to G4LIB_USE_G3TOG4 to be consistent
with the rest of configuration variables. Now G4LIB_BUILD_G3TOG4 is
required in order to build the G3toG4 module.
- Added G4LIB_BUILD/USE_ZLIB flags:
- G4LIB_BUILD_ZLIB is mandatory for Windows, if zlib is required;
- if G4LIB_BUILD_ZLIB is set, the Geant4 zlib module is used (all
platforms);
- if only G4LIB_USE_ZLIB is set, the system built-in zlib is used
(UNIX only);
- if none is set, zlib is not used (all platforms).
- Changed configuration for OPENGLXM to explicitely require OPENGLX.
- System configurations:
- SUN-CC: removed obsolete compilation option for redirection to
template repository, no longer necessary, and added -lsunmath to
LOADLIBS now required with CLHEP-1.9.X for static libraries.
- Darwin-g++: updated compilation options, now similar to Linux-g++ setup.
Digitization & Hits
- G4VHit: fixed interface to CreateAttValues(),
removed const qualifier.
Electromagnetic Processes (Low-energy)
- Included implementation of DNA elastic scattering in water.
- New low energy polarised Rayleigh scattering process:
G4LowEnergyPolarizedRayleigh
- Fix to Penelope ionisation for atomic deexcitation.
- Fixed Sauter angular distribution in G4PenelopePhotoelectric.
- Minor fixes in: G4hICRU49Nuclear, G4hZiegler1985Nuclear and
G4LowEnergyPolarizedCompton.
- Bug fix in AtomicDeexcitation concerning the Auger effect.
- Bug fix in PenelopeIonisation, addressing problem report #729.
Electromagnetic Processes (Standard)
- Utils & Standard
- The photon processes (G4PhotoElectric, G4ComptonScattering,
G4GammaConversion) and G4eplusnAnnihilation have been redesigned
according to the process-model approach, like for the energy loss processes.
The common base classes, G4VEmProcess and G4VEmModel, have been
consequently upgraded. Physics results should be unchanged.
The redesign is transparent to the user. 'Old' photon and positron processes have
been frozen and kept for a while, under G4PhotoElectric52 ... etc ...
See the class PhysListEmG4v52 in most of extended/electromagnetic
examples and g4v52 alternative PhyicsList in
physics_list/electromagnetic.
- The class G4EmCalculator allows to access most of the basic quantities of
electromagnetic processes: crossSections, meanFreePath, stoppingPower, csdaRange.
It has been updated and can be applied to all standard processes.
See examples in extended/electromagnetic RunAction for TestEm1, TestEm5
and TestEm11.
- The limit of applicability of the model of energy loss straggling
(G4UniversalFluctuation) has been reviewed and extended to smaller energy
loss (~eV). This affects energy loss distributions for small steps (under
micrometer).
- The G4EmCorrections class has been introduced to provide corrections to
energy loss of hadrons and ions. With the standard package, stopping power for
protons and alpha particles are within 2% with the Nist data, from 1 keV
to 100 GeV for all atoms.
- Muons
- A new class G4EnergyLossForExtrapolator has been introduced. This class
provides calculation of average energy loss and its dispersion for the step of
charged particles in media. It also provides average angle of multiple scattering.
This class is working independently of the Geant4 event loop and does not require
Run, Event and Stepping managers. It requires only particles and materials
instantiation.
- HighEnergy
- Two new models G4BetheBlochNoDeltaModel and G4BraggNoDeltaModel
are released; they can be used for the simulation of exotic heavy ionizing objects
(monopoles ..etc..).
- Xrays
- Updated TRD model for regular radiator, to provide more realistic gamma spectrum.
Added G4StrawTubeXTRadiator and modified the integration algorithm in
G4TransparentRegXTRadiator.
Event
- Extended G4PrimaryTransformer to accept exotic particles, to take care of
mass defined in G4PrimaryParticle and to accept shortlived primary particles
with proper decay table. Also issueing a warning message if a shortlived primary
does not have decay table nor pre-assigned decay mode. Added also a new virtual
method to alter the conversion of such shortlived into a track.
- Modified G4ParticleGun and G4ParticleGunMessenger to accept
shortlived primary particle with proper decay table.
- Moved G4PrimaryParticle, G4PrimaryVertex,
G4VUserPrimaryParticleInformation, and
G4VUserPrimaryVertexInformation to 'particles' category.
- Fixed bug for particle weight in G4SingleParticlesource.
General Processes: Decay, Transportation
- Decay
- Fixed bug in G4Decay::AtRestGetPhysicalInteractionLength().
Condition is now fixed to Not Forced.
- Transportation
- Made destructors virtual for G4StepLimiter and
G4UserSpecialCuts.
- Added process type to G4Transportation.
Addresses problem report #743.
Geometry
- Management
- Extended G4Region to hold G4UserLimits so that the
information will be propagated as for the cuts; added access
from G4LogicalVolume.
- Added optional boolean argument propagate to GetMass()
to avoid propagation of computation of masses to the daughter volumes on
request. Propagation to daughters is done by default.
- Extended signatures for OpenGeometry() and CloseGeometry()
to consider local optimisation of a subtree of volumes. Voxelisation can now
apply to just a specific subtree if a physical volume is specified.
- Added protection against NULL material pointer for volumes belonging
to the tracking geometry in G4Region scanning.
Addresses problem report #735.
- Updated implementation of GetPolyhedron() in G4ReflectedSolid.
- Modified G4LogicalVolume::SetVisAttributes(const G4VisAttributes& VA) to
now create a copy of VA on the heap. Temporary solution, until a proper
'store' for visualization attributes will be implemented to take care of the
memory management.
- Solids
- Implemented Get/CreatePolyhedron() where missing
- Changed AddThis() with AddSolid() for all solids in
DescribeYourselfTo().
- Some code cleanup.
- Boolean:
- Fix in G4IntersectionSolid::DistanceToIn(p,v) to allow for correct
simmetrical treatment of the solids' intersection. Algorithm reviewed
as proposed in problem report #723.
- Modified Inside(p) in G4SubtractionSolid and
G4UnionSolid, to fix inconsistency for non-zero sum of
surface-normals. Now computing surface-normal for edges/vertices.
- Use the newly available CreatePolyhedron() for components of
Boolean solids, instead of GetPolyhedron().
- CSG:
- New implementation of SurfaceNormal(p) with edges/vertices.
The implementation is now consistent with Inside(p) functions for
the treatment of phi/theta surfaces, which are now treated in terms of
kAngTolerance; the surface selection is made according to
Inside(p) approach. The old specification is temporarily kept
to treat exotic uses of the function for points not at the surface.
- Specific:
- New generic framework for twisted solids G4TwistedBox,
G4TwistedTrd and G4TwistedTrap: inheriting now from a
new base class G4VTwistedFaceted.
- Extended G4TwistedTrap to support setups with different trapezoidal
endcaps with centres not necessarily on a line parallel to the z
axis.
- G4TwistedSurface: fixed bug in GetAreaCode() affecting
G4TwistedTubs.
- Volumes
- Made constructors/destructors and operators for G4NavigationLevelRep
and G4NavigationLevel not inlined. Rationalised definition
of allocators to belong to related translation units. Workaround necessary
to allow for correct optimisation on some compilers on 64-bits systems.
Global
- Migrated calls to G4Exception in HEPNumerics to canonical signature.
- Q/A cleanup to clear CodeWizard warnings, minor fixes and moved inline methods to
.icc files.

and BooleanProcessor::get_processor_error().
- Implementation improvements in G4VisExtent, G4Polyhedron,
and G4VisAttributes. Added new class G4AttCheck.
Materials
- New public interface to build elements and materials, based on the Nist
materials data base. In particular one can easily define an element with its natural
isotope composition. About 300 materials are included into the Geant4 material DB.
Examples are given in extended/electromagnetic examples TestEm9, TestEm11 and
extended/medical/GammaTherapy.
The material category is equipped by its messenger, which allows to access elements
and materials from data-base.
- Made A optional in G4Isotope, now taken from Nist data base by
default.
- Added new data member in G4Element to count the number of elements
with same Z.
- Added SetGROUPVEL() to G4MaterialPropertiesTable. Addresses
problem report #741.
