Gómez Vidal (and others?) 80 81 ## 2023-03-16 Ben Morgan (field-V11-01-02) 82 - Fixed compilation warnings on clang-15 for mismatched bounds declarations 83 in input parameters for steppers. 84 85 ## 2023-01-09 Ben Morgan (field-V11-01-01) 86 - Use PROJECT_ scoped _SOURCE/BINARY_DIR variables in place of CMAKE_ 87 scope version to ease use of Geant4 as a CMake subproject. 88 - Fixes [GitHub PR #52](https://github.com/Geant4/geant4/pull/52) 89 90 ## 2022-12-09 Laurie Nevay (field-V11-01-00) 91 - Reduced printout for setting any valid value for epsilon_min / _max in 92 G4FieldManager. 93 94 ## 2022-11-28 Gabriele Cosmo (field-V11-00-05) 95 - Fixed restore of stream precision in G4FieldManager::ReportBadEpsilonValue(). 96 97 ## 2022-11-14 John Apostolakis (field-V11-00-04) 98 - Revised G4FieldManager to ensure that epsilon_min / _max parameters 99 are less than a 'maximum accepted' accuracy (now=0.02) to ensure robust 100 behaviour of the integration. Improved their Set methods, adding 101 - warnings if min > max, with corrective behaviour, and 102 - a fatal exception in case of values outside the accepted range. 103 104 To cope with needs of legacy applications or existing needs for performance, 105 the value of the 'ceiling' maximum accepted accuracy can be modified using 106 the new static method 107 G4FieldManager::SetMaxAcceptedEpsilon( maxAccept, softFail); 108 but must remain under or equal to a final ceiling currently of 109 fMaxFinalEpsilon=0.03 110 111 ## 2022-11-10 Gabriele Cosmo (field-V11-00-03) 112 - Fixed compilation warnings for implicit type conversions on macOS/XCode 14.1. 113 114 ## 2022-11-05 Divyansh Tiwari, John Apostolakis (field-V11-00-02) 115 116 - Introduced G4BorisScheme and G4BorisDriver, a 2nd order symplectic 117 integration method, created as part of GSoC 2022. 118 119 ## 2022-10-05 Gabriele Cosmo (field-V11-00-01) 120 - Fixed compilation warnings on Intel/icx compiler for variables set 121 but not used. 122 123 ## 2021-12-10 Ben Morgan (field-V11-00-00) 124 - Change to new Markdown History format 125 126 --- 127 128 # History entries prior to 11.0 129 130 March 30, 2021 B.Morgan - field-V10-07-00 131 ----------------------- 132 - Migrate sources.cmake to modular build API 133 134 November 26, 2020 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-06-09 135 ------------------------------- 136 - Fix to enable G4TDormandPrince45 to be used with G4InterpolationDriver. 137 138 This fix was needed because G4Interpolation driver creates additional 139 copies of the stepper class. Due to this it must obtain the equation 140 with the type of the templated stepper. 141 142 For a stepper to be used with 'G4InterpolationDriver', it must 143 implement the method 144 Equation_type GetSpecificEquation() 145 Templated steppers must ensure that the return type 'Equation_type' 146 is the specific equation type of the template. 147 148 This method was added to G4DormandPrince745 and G4TDormandPrince745. 149 150 October 12, 2020 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-06-08 151 ------------------------------ 152 - Fixes & refinements - mostly in templated classes, tests. 153 Compilation fixes, e.g. missing include <cassert>. 154 Refinements, e.g. int -> unsigned int in templates 155 156 October 9, 2020 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-06-07 157 ----------------------------- 158 - Configure G4ChordFinder to use templated G4TDormandPrince45 as the 159 default stepper for magnetic fields (when one is not chosen 160 explicitly by the application.) 161 162 October 9, 2020 J.Apostolakis & J. Xie - field-V10-06-06 163 -------------------------------------- 164 - Adapted classes that avoid virtual calls for field, equation, stepper 165 created by Josh Xie (Google Summer of Code 2014), supervised by 166 S. Wenzel & J.A. 167 168 The revised design and implementations include: 169 * equation of motion templated on the field type; 170 * steppers templated on the type of equation and the number of integration 171 variables. 172 In addition the key methods are marked as 'inline' to enable compilers, where 173 they judge possible, to embed them and avoid any function calls. 174 175 These classes can be combined also with the templated drivers 176 (G4IntegrationStepper, G4FSALIntegrationStepper and/or G4InterpolationDriver 177 to avoid virtual calls in all the levels up to the chord finder's call to 178 the integration driver. ] 179 180 The types of stepper currently available are 181 i) the originally developed intermediate order stepper: 182 183 - Name (templated) - original -- Order/ - Comments 184 / Embdedded 185 ============================================================================== 186 G4TClassicalRK4: G4ClassicalRK4 4th / no robust, old default 187 G4TCashKarpRKF45: G4CashKarpRKF45 5th / yes first embedded RK in G4 188 189 ii) the original low order steppers (for specialised uses) 190 G4TSimpleHeum: G4SimpleHeum 3rd / no lower order alternative 191 G4TSimpleRunge: G4SimpleRunge 2nd / no very low order 192 G4TExplicitEuler: G4ExplicitEuler 1st / no lowest order - for checks only 193 194 and 195 iii) some newly adapted stepper(s) / ( J.A. Oct 2020 ) 196 G4TDormandPrince45 G4DormandPrince745 5th/ yes default / preferred 197 ============================================================================== 198 199 Note: Additional lower-order steppers are not yet available. 200 'Vector' steppers (using blaze) are not supported. 201 202 Experimental versions of fields with inline methods: 203 G4TUniformMagField, G4TQuadrupoleMagField 204 are included to show how the field evaluation GetFieldValue can also be inlined. 205 206 Note 2: 207 Steppers which are not embedded obtain their error estimates by 208 breaking the step into two halves, then comparing with the whole step. 209 As a result many more field / derivative evaluations are needed than 210 embedded steppers of the same order, but the reliability of their error 211 estimation has different properties; so it may be more robust in some cases. ) 212 213 June 15, 2020 G.Cosmo - field-V10-06-05 214 --------------------- 215 - Implemented move constructor and operator for G4FieldTrack. 216 217 March 24, 2020 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-06-04 218 ---------------------------- 219 - New class G4DriverReporter to print progress of drivers. 220 Used for debugging differences between Old & fixed MagIntDriver 221 - Revisions in testing CMake config file and stepper/driver test 222 for magnetic field. 223 224 March 13, 2020 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-06-03 225 ---------------------------- 226 - G4VIntegrationDriver & dependent driver classes: 227 Added new virtual StreamInfo() method, 228 & used it to implement operator << for G4VIntegrationDriver 229 Made (virtual) DoesReIntegrate() const. 230 - G4MagInt_Driver: Fixed max iterations & clarified that its 231 ComputeNewStepSize does NOT (yet) respect maximum reduction factor (0.1). 232 ( Done to enable comparisons with new G4IntegrationDriver<> implementation.) 233 - G4OldMagIntDriver maintains all old behaviour of G4MagInt_Driver. 234 235 236 January 22, 2020 G.Cosmo - field-V10-06-02 237 ------------------------ 238 - Fixed compilation errors and configuration for field07 unit test. 239 240 January 13, 2020 G.Cosmo - field-V10-06-01 241 ------------------------ 242 - Turn off verbosity flags by default in G4IntegratorDriver, 243 G4InterpolationDriver and G4MagIntegratorDriver. 244 245 December 10, 2019 B.Morgan - field-V10-06-00 246 -------------------------- 247 - Cleanup CMake build, removing obsolete granular library options and 248 explicit include_directories. 249 250 November 14, 2019 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-05-17 251 ------------------------------- 252 - Added method / attribute to G4VIntegrationDriver DoesReIntegrate() 253 to inform whether the driver recomputes segment when 254 AccurateAdvance is called. 255 256 October 27, 2019 D.Sorokin - field-V10-05-16 257 ---------------------------- 258 - Remove statistics printouts from destructor of G4BFieldIntegrationDriver 259 260 October 24, 2019 H.Burkhardt - field-V10-05-15 261 ---------------------------- 262 - Standard sextupole magnet first implementation G4SextupoleMagField.cc,.hh 263 264 October 18, 2019 D. Sorokin - field-V10-05-14 265 ----------------------------------------- 266 - Fix floating point exception in G4BFieldIntegrationDriver. 267 268 October 1, 2019 G. Cosmo - field-V10-05-13 269 ----------------------------------------- 270 - Fixed unitialised data in G4EqMagElectricField and G4EqGravityField, 271 reported by Coverity. 272 273 September 12, 2019 G. Cosmo - field-V10-05-12 274 ----------------------------------------- 275 - Minor C++11 revision. Code formatting and cleanup. 276 277 July 8, 2019 D. Sorokin - field-V10-05-11 278 ----------------------------------------- 279 - G4BFieldIntegrationDriver: an attempt to solve looping particle issue. 280 281 July 3, 2019 D. Sorokin - field-V10-05-10 282 ----------------------------------------- 283 - Make G4InterpolationDriver default for performance assessments. 284 285 June 25, 2019 D. Sorokin - field-V10-05-09 286 ----------------------------------------- 287 - Fix Dormand-Prince 5th order interpolation method 288 289 June 20, 2019 D. Sorokin - field-V10-05-08 290 ----------------------------------------- 291 - New version of G4InterpolationDriver with multiple steppers for each substep. 292 293 June 12, 2019 D. Sorokin & J. Apostolakis - field-V10-05-07 294 ----------------------------------------- 295 - Revert to use G4IntegrationDriver as default in G4ChordFinder 296 ( c-tor for magnetic field. ). 297 Change to use concrete type of Stepper as template parameter 298 299 June 10, 2019 Dmitry Sorokin - field-V10-05-06 300 ------------------------- 301 - Remove division in G4DormandPrince745::Interpolate4thOrder. 302 303 June 7, 2019 Dmitry Sorokin - field-V10-05-05 304 ------------------------- 305 - Switch to original chord finding algorithm in G4InterpolationDriver 306 - Reset step estimate in G4MagInt_Driver only at the beginning of a track 307 - Change G4VERBOSE to G4FIELD_DEBUG in G4InterpolationDriver to speed-up 308 309 June 4, 2019 Dmitry Sorokin - field-V10-05-04 310 ------------------------- 311 - Use FSAL property of G4DormandPrince745 in G4InterpolationDriver. 312 313 June 3, 2019 Dmitry Sorokin - field-V10-05-03 314 ------------------------- 315 - Fix memory churn in G4InterpolationDriver. 316 317 May 20, 2019 Dmitry Sorokin - field-V10-05-02 318 ------------------------- 319 - Make interpolation driver default for immediate testing. 320 321 April 8, 2019 H.Burkhardt - field-V10-05-01 322 ------------------------- 323 - Correcting transformation to local system in G4QuadrupoleMagField.cc 324 325 March 20, 2019 G.Cosmo - field-V10-05-00 326 ---------------------- 327 - Corrected 'RegularStepperName' in G4ChordFinder to refer to the actual 328 default stepper G4DormandPrince745 rather than G4NystromRK4... 329 330 November 9, 2018 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-04-17 331 ------------------------------ 332 - Small fixes for warnings in compilation. 333 - Revisions of descriptions of recent tags (for clarification.) 334 335 September 26, 2018 D.Sorokin - field-V10-04-15, -16 336 ---------------------------- 337 - Implemented G4InterpolationDriver. This driver uses a Runge-Kutta 338 stepper with interpolation property to integrate EoM with error control. 339 The field evaluations used to calculate the enpoint of an 'advance' can 340 be reused to obtain one or multiple internal points on the curve (x,p). 341 So in steps in which an intersection is found, the number of field 342 evaluations are expected to be reduced substantially. 343 344 September 13, 2018 D.Sorokin - field-V10-04-13, -14 345 ---------------------------- 346 - G4NystromRK4 creates G4CachedMagneticField if it was not provided. 347 - Removed G4MagIntegratorStepper::ComputeRightHandSide() method 348 (all calls now use non-virtual RightHandSide() method instead). 349 - Reversed declaration of final for the class G4UniformMagField. 350 Returned to previous status: only GetFieldValue method is final. 351 ( This avoid need to change examples/tests and potentially migrate 352 users' code. ) 353 354 September 12, 2018 D.Sorokin - field-V10-04-11, -12 355 ---------------------------- 356 - Created new experimental driver G4BFieldIntegrationDriver for pure 357 magnetic fields. In QuickAdvance it uses helix stepper when the 358 estimated 'helix' rotation angle is larger than pi/3. 359 - G4NystromRK4 uses G4CachedMagneticField for caching values. 360 NOTE: It now the user's responsibility to create G4CachedMagneticField. 361 ( The alternative is to create G4CachedMagneticField inside G4NystromRK4. 362 But this would have several disadvantages: 363 * It would change the field in the user's equation of motion; 364 * G4NystromRK4 is not able to check whether the user calls the method 365 that changes the equation using SetEquationOfMotion method. ) 366 367 July 10, 2018 D. Sorokin - field-V10-04-08, -09, -10 368 ------------------------ Tags by J. Apostolakis 369 - Corrections in calculation of chord distance in G4DormandPrince745 370 ( use 4th order interpolation from Shampine 1986 for mid-point. ) 371 - Revised G4FieldUtils: moved copy() method from steppers, 372 added 2 new setValue: simple & variadic methods. 373 - Fixes to copy input time in ModifiedMidpoint, CashKarp, G4RK547FEq1/2/3 374 Bogacki-Shampine 4/5 and 2/3 (note: B-S 2/3 largely rewritten ) 375 Dormand Prince 4/5, 5/6 and 7/8, and Tsitouras steppers. 376 - Trial revision in G4BulirschStoer to reduce number of division 377 operations (J.A.) 378 - Fix for unitialised pIntStepper pointer in G4FSALIntegrationDriver 379 constructor. Revision of data member variable names. ( J.A. ) 380 381 June 15, 2018 G.Cosmo - field-V10-04-07 382 --------------------- 383 - Fixed minor Coverity defects in G4BurlischStoer and G4ModifiedMidPoint. 384 Code cleanup. 385 386 June 13, 2018 G.Cosmo - field-V10-04-06 387 --------------------- 388 - Leave override final only for clone() method in G4UniformMagField, 389 not in destructor... 390 391 June 12, 2018 G.Cosmo - field-V10-04-05 392 --------------------- 393 - Use G4Exception warnings instead of streaming to cerr. 394 - Added override final for virtual methods in G4UniformMagField (J.Apostolakis). 395 - Some code cleanup. 396 397 Apr 30, 2018 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-04-04 398 --------------------------- 399 - G4VIntegrationDriver and derived classes 400 401 Added new virtual method in G4VIntegrationDriver : 402 void RenewStepperAndAdjust(G4MagIntegratorStepper *pItsStepper) 403 which used to exist in G4MagInt_Driver. 404 ( Its absence caused a problem in some existing user code since 10.4. ) 405 406 This method must be defined in those derived driver classes which accept 407 a Runge Kutta stepper ( i.e. some or any type of G4MagIntegratorStepper ) 408 409 - G4IntegrationDriver, G4FSALIntegrationDriver 410 Defined default implementation (which throws a Fatal G4Exception), and 411 implementations in the templated classes G4IntegrationDriver and 412 G4FSALIntegrationDriver which check the type (via dynamic cast) and 413 change the stepper if it is appropriate. 414 415 Feb 13, 2018 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-04-03 416 --------------------------- 417 - Change in G4FieldManager::CreateChordFinder to cope 418 better with case that field argument is null. 419 420 Feb 13, 2018 D. Sorokin - field-V10-04-01 421 ----------------------- - field-V10-04-02 (comp. fix) 422 - Introduced Bulirsch-Stoer method of integration, an alternative 423 to Runge-Kutta based on the mid-point method. 424 Separate driver derived G4VIntegrationDriver and implemented 425 using specialisation of G4IntegrationDriver template class. 426 Note: this method does not have a RK 'Stepper' ! 427 428 Jan 31, 2018 J. Apostolakis 429 --------------------------- 430 - G4MagneticField no longer inherits from G4ElectroMagneticField 431 This was incorrect, and allowed a user to provide a full EM 432 field, but obtain the force only from the B-field when using 433 the equation created in the G4ChordFinder constructor. 434 => potential interface change. 435 436 Result: It is no longer possible to use the equation of motion for a 437 pure magnetic field for the case of a mixed electromagnetic field. 438 This change is desired, and is a *protection* as that inadvertent 439 use led to incorrect results. 440 Instead the full chain of classes for equation of full EM field, 441 steppers and driver must be used for the case of the 'full' EM field. 442 443 Feb 9, 2017 G.Cosmo - field-V10-04-00 444 ------------------- 445 - Removed static data from G4FSALIntegrationDriver, G4IntegrationDriver and 446 G4MagIntegratorDriver and moved to base class as normal data members. 447 Fix required for allowing proper symbol exporting on Windows DLLs. 448 449 Nov 17, 2017 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-03-30 450 --------------------------- 451 - G4ChordFinder: Reinstated old driver G4MagInt_Drv, for use 452 with G4DormandPrince745 (5th order) in G4ChordFinder's 453 2nd constructor (with magnetic field.) 454 ( Reverses change made in field-V10-03-27 ) 455 456 Nov 16, 2017 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-03-29 457 --------------------------- 458 - Suppressed statistics printing in G4ChordFinder and new drivers 459 ( G4IntegrationDriver and G4FSALIntegrationDriver ) 460 protecting them by verbosity flags. 461 462 - Minor fix to initialise scalar data member in new steppers 463 G4RK547FEq1, G4RK547FEq2 and G4RK547FEq3. 464 Fixes coverity issues 97886, 97888 and 97889. 465 466 467 Nov 14, 2017 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-03-28 468 --------------------------- 469 - Suppressed extra verbosity in G4ChordFinder. 470 - Fix in G4FSALDormandPrince745 for unitialised variables. 471 Initialise ak8[], ak9[] in constructor. This avoids repeated 472 memory allocation, without deletion - i.e. a memory leak. 473 - Initialise fLastStepLength and/or fAuxStepper data members in 474 in constructors of G4DormandPrince745 and G4FSALDormandPrince745. 475 Coverity issues: 67394 (G4FSALDormandPrince745) 476 67391 (G4DormandPrince745) 477 478 Nov 14, 2017 J. Apostolakis - field-V10-03-27 (fixed) 479 --------------------------- - field-V10-03-26 480 - G4ChordFinder: changes in default stepper & driver in 2nd constructor. 481 in which only a magnetic field is provided (used widely) : 482 483 * Reinstated G4DormandPrince745 (5th order) as default in G4ChordFinder. 484 (corrected -23, which missed to initialise driver.) 485 486 * New templated driver G4IntegrationDriver is chosen for the 487 the simple constuctors of G4ChordFinder and G4FieldManager 488 which only require a (pure) magnetic field. ( Details below.) 489 490 Additional information and details: 491 * New optional parameter to constructor of G4ChordFinder which 492 allow to create an FSAL stepper and corresponding driver instead. 493 This aims to reuse some derivatives, thus reducing computations 494 of derivatives and thus field evaluations. ) 495 496 * The templated 'driver' classes, available and now chosen in 497 G4ChordFinder's 2nd constructor, are used per type of stepper 498 class: 499 - G4IntegrationDriver for non-FSAL steppers 500 - G4FSALIntegrationDriver for FSAL-capable steppers 501 These make non-virtual calls to the stepper, as they know its type. 502 503 - First fix in G4FSALDormandPrince745 for memory leak, missing 504 delete[] fInitialDyDx in destructor.

Coverity issue 67396. 621 - G4BogackiShampine23: initialised fIsFSAL, fIntegrationOrder in c-tor. 622 Suppressed obsolete virtual method isFSAL, 623 Deleted duplicate virtual method 'isFSAL()'. Non-virtual method IsFSAL() 624 now exists in base class G4MagIntegratorStepper. 625 Made copy constructor and equal operator private and not unimplemented. 626 Added explanatory comments in source file; can make this method FSAL easily 627 (it calculates derivative @ endpoint. ) 628 - Several steppers ( G4DoLoMcPriRK34, G4FSALBogackiShampine45, 629 G4DormandPrince745, G4BogackiShampine45 ): initialise fLastStepLength and/or 630 fAuxStepper data members in constructor. 631 Coverity issues: 67393, 67394, 67391, 67390, 67363 632 633 Jul 03, 2017 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-03-05, -06, -07 634 -------------------------- 635 - fix for memory leak in Stepper() in two steppers: 636 G4FSALBogackiShampline45 ( Coverity issue 67389 ) 637 G4FSALDormandPrince745 ( Coverity issue 67397 ) 638 - G4BogackiShampline23: fix for memory leak in destructor 639 ( Coverity issue 67355 ) 640 641 May 17, 2017 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-03-03, -04 (resubmit) 642 -------------------------- 643 - G4FieldManager::SetDetectorField 644 Fixed default of 'fail mode' parameter in 645 to 0 (silent) - not 1 which was used for debugging. 646 In case of existing G4ChordFinder, use 'max' (1, failMode) not min. 647 648 649 May 11, 2017 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-03-02 650 -------------------------- 651 - Reintroduced changes of field-V10-01-05, 06 and 07 to address 652 issue recalled by ATLAS. 653 - New fixes/refinements (since field-V10-01-07) 654 o Extra check for missing equation. (Fix) 655 o Renamed G4FieldManager::SetFieldChangesEnergy() method to 656 InitialiseFieldChangesEnergy() to clarify its utility. 657 - Original functionality change (copied from field-V10-01-05, & -07) : 658 o G4FieldManager.cc : Revised behaviour of SetDetector - it now 659 passes the Field to the Equation, as is the natural user expectation 660 The previous behaviour is possible, using extra argument 'failMode' flag. 661 Values: 0 = silent ; 662 1 (default) = warning; 663 2 or other = fatal exception. 664 665 This change is to ensure that user expectation is met: 666 if the field is changed for an existing, working stepper it must 667 be propagated to the equation of motion. 668 Note: this causes potential conflict between the type of the equation 669 and the field, which will need to be solved in the future. 670 Old behaviour (just set our own pointer) is still available in new method: 671 ProposeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField) 672 Note: Error reporting behaviour of SetDetector is 'soft'. It does not 673 complain by default if ChordFinder is not (yet) set. 674 ( The default values of failMode = 0 i.e. quiet. ) 675 If a chord-finder exists, it will still warn for other errors. 676 To obtain have noisy extra checks call SetDetectorField with failMode > 0 677 or by using the new method for an existing field: 678 ChangeDetectorField(G4Field *detectorField) 679 OLD: Co-works and requires new tag in geometry/navigation: geomnav-V10-01-24. 680 681 Mar 22, 2017 G.Cosmo - field-V10-03-01 682 --------------------- 683 - Revert change made in previous tag and add simple accessor to return 684 singleton pointer. 685 686 Mar 17, 2017 G.Cosmo - field-V10-03-00 687 --------------------- 688 - Define G4FieldManagerStore as normal singleton and corrected destructor. 689 690 Oct 7, 2016 J.Apostolakis - field-V10-02-24, 25 691 --------------------------- 692 - Checked loops for termination for infinite loops and annotated 693 them with "Loop checking" comment 694 695 Oct 7, 2016 D.Sorokin - field-V10-02-23 696 ----------------------- Commit: J.

Apostolakis - field-V03-02-03 1886 ----------------------------- 1887 Motivated by the use case of an Electric Field, 1888 - in order to achieve reasonable accuracy in time integration, 1889 - and to enable fields that vary with the global time) 1890 we (John Ap. and V. Grichine) changed the following: 1891 1892 - Modified G4Field to allow the time in the GetFieldValue method 1893 - as 4th component of the "position" array. 1894 1895 - Modified EquationOfMotion to provide the time to the GetFieldValue method 1896 of G4Field 1897 * as the 4th component of a position / time 4-array 1898 * in place of only position as a 3-arry 1899 1900 - Added the global time as variable to be integrated over in the 1901 case of an Electric Field 1902 1903 Support for these modifications is required in G4Transportation. 1904 1905 (Better support will require either 1906 - a modification in G4FieldTrack to indicate whether the time has been 1907 integrated or not. 1908 - or additionally making the time calculation a property of G4FieldTrack, 1909 bring in code to do it in from G4Transportation.) 1910 1911 1912 Nov 8th, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-02 1913 ------------------------ 1914 - Introduced several changes in G4MagIntegratorDriver. 1915 1916 It now respects its minimum driver step size in AccurateAdvance. 1917 * whereas before it did not. 1918 1919 Modified maximum number of steps, lowering by factor of 10. 1920 -> it should reduce the time spent integrating low energy particles, 1921 in some cases where it is unneccessary. 1922 1923 Protected printing of (nearly?) all warnings with a G4DEBUG_FIELD #ifdef. 1924 1925 1926 Nov 05th, 2001 G. Cosmo - field-V03-02-01 1927 ------------------------ 1928 - Fixed trivial warnings on Linux-g++. 1929 1930 Aug 27th, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-02-00 1931 ------------------------------ 1932 Tagged last change. 1933 This tag is utilised in transport-V03-02-01 (which requires it). 1934 1935 Aug 16th, 2001 J. Apostolakis 1936 ------------------------------ 1937 G4ChordFinder: 1938 Added method to erase/reset the state of the StepEstimate. 1939 This is unwanted internal state that was carried between tracks and 1940 events as a side effect. 1941 1942 Calling this at the start of each track, it is now possible to 1943 eliminate a non-repeatability that was possible due to this. 1944 ( It has been observed in particular in vaccuum. ) 1945 1946 May 23rd, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-01-02 1947 ------------------------------ 1948 - Added Exception to G4RKG3Stepper constructor: the class does not work 1949 1950 May 23rd, 2001 J.

Gumplinger - field-V03-01-00 1960 ----------------------------- 1961 - Updated G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.hh and G4Mag_SpinEqRhs.cc for correction 1962 to spin tracking. 1963 1964 Apr 04th, 2001 G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-05 1965 ------------------------ 1966 - G4FieldTrack.icc: fixed pedantic warnings on Linux-g++. 1967 1968 Mar 23rd, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-04 1969 ------------------------------ 1970 - Electric Field unit test now works: test runs until completion. 1971 Test outputs saved (on Linux). 1972 1973 - Fixed src/G4UniformElectricField.cc to set correct field components 1974 (compatible with Equation of Motion 1975 G4EqMagElectricField ) 1976 1977 - Tidied G4FieldTrack 1978 * deleted obsolete methods Set/Get MomentumModulus() and its data member. 1979 * in constructor to set the value of the spin to (0.0, 0.0, 0.0) 1980 if pSpin is null. (It was undefined.) 1981 1982 Mar 23rd, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-03 1983 ------------------------------ 1984 - Fixed (hacked) CashKarp to work using Auxiliary Stepper. 1985 1986 - Modified G4MagIntegratorStepper 1987 to use pointer to G4EquationOfMotion 1988 instead of G4Mag_EqRhs 1989 1990 - Design iteration appears neccessary 1991 1992 Mar 23rd, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-02 1993 ------------------------------ 1994 - Fixed G4MagHelicalStepper::AdvanceHelix for momentum, allowing 1995 the possibility of (correct) use of all Helical Steppers. 1996 1997 - test/testProElectroMagField.cc updated for momentum. 1998 (Not yet updated: Spin tests) 1999 2000 2001 Mar 19th, 2001 J. Apostolakis - field-V03-00-01 2002 ------------------------------ 2003 - Tagging the modification of several classes to integrate in momentum*c_light 2004 instead of velocity. 2005 Reason for change: Velocity integration can result in superluminar 2006 velocities, due to arithmetic inaccuracies. 2007 Classes modified: 2008 G4FieldTrack, (Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum, 2009 G4Mag_EqRhs, G4Mag_UsualEqRhs, G4EqMagElectricField 2010 2011 Feb 20th, 2001 J. Apostolakis 2012 2013 - Modified several classes to integrate in momentum instead of velocity. 2014 2015 G4FieldTrack: 2016 Changed components 3,4,5 of SixVector to Momentum, 2017 Modified constructor 2018 Added energy calculation to "LoadFromArray" method 2019 GetEnergy method is now implemented. 2020 Deleted obsolete (old) method names for Curve and Position. New have "Get" 2021 2022 G4ChordFinder 2023 Renamed old-method names of Field Track to new ones. 2024 2025 Jan 29th, 2001 G. Cosmo - field-V03-00-00 2026 ------------------------- 2027 2028 - Minor fix to G4MagneticField.hh: added explicit call to G4Field() in 2029 copy constructor. Fixes report #205. 2030 2031 Nov 20th, 2000 G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-02 2032 2033 - Fixes to remove warnings from "-Wall -ansi -pedantic" g++ compiler options: 2034 o commented out variables declared and not used. 2035 o fixed declaration of variables used before being initialised. 2036 o fixed order of initialisation of member data in constructors. 2037 o fixed usage of unsigned-int (size_t) for array indeces. 2038 2039 Nov 9th, 2000 G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-01 2040 2041 - G4FieldManager: added check on existence of allocated fChordFinder 2042 in CreateChordFinder(G4MagneticField*) method. 2043 2044 Nov 1st, 2000 G. Cosmo - field-V02-00-00 2045 2046 - QA code revision and cleanup (+fixes from CodeWizard filtering): 2047 o Added (private) declarations of copy constructor and assignment operator 2048 where needed. 2049 o Added "const" qualifier to accessor methods, wherever needed. 2050 o Added equality check on operator= where needed. 2051 o Made destructor "virtual" for classes having virtual methods, 2052 wherever missing. 2053 o Changed virtual functions to non-inline wherever's the case. 2054 o Changed return value to be "const" pointer to functions: 2055 - G4EquationOfMotion::GetFieldObj() 2056 - G4FieldManager::GetDetectorField() 2057 - G4MagIntegratorDriver::GetStepper() 2058 o Fixed and corrected signature to G4MagIntegratorDriver::SetHmin(). 2059 o Added "inline" qualifier to methods' declarations. 2060 o General cosmetics 2061 2062 Jun 2nd, 2000 J. Apostolakis 2063 - G4FieldManager[.hh.icc] 2064 o Added DeltaIntersection and DeltaOneStep to FieldManager: added 2065 Get/Set methods and SetAccuraciesWithDeltaOneStep(). 2066 2067 May 31st, 2000 J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-03 2068 2069 include/G4FieldManager.hh,icc 2070 o Moved Delta Intersection and Delta One Step to FieldManager 2071 (from Propagator in Field), to allow them to differ over the detector. 2072 2073 May 11th, 2000 J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-02 2074 2075 - G4ChordFinder[.hh.cc] 2076 o Modified method for finding new trial step. 2077 New method assumes a quadratic relationship between step-length and d_chord: 2078 d_chord proportional to step-lenght ^ 2 2079 o Added two small refinement in order to avoid unneccesary extra step due to 2080 small numerical inaccuracies in estimation: 2081 FindNextChord 2082 to first step use (1-0.001) * last-step-estimate 2083 New Step: 2084 to subsequent step use trial_step = 0.98 * estimate 2085 2086 May 10th, 2000 G. Cosmo 2087 2088 - G4MagneticField.hh: minor fix to dummy implementation of assignment 2089 operator. 2090 2091 May 9th, 2000 J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-01 2092 2093 - G4MagErrorStepper: 2094 Modified DistChord to check whether the chord endpoint are the same point. 2095 2096 - G4RKG3_Stepper: 2097 Deleted error message from StepNoErr, as it is used in Stepper. 2098 2099 - G4MagIntegratorDriver: 2100 Changed the condition for the debug output (~cosmetic) 2101 2102 2103 April 27th, 2000 G. Cosmo 2104 2105 - Reorganised comments for the Software Reference Manual. 2106 - Moved inlined definition to .icc files, where needed. 2107 Created: G4ChordFinder.icc and G4FieldManager.icc. 2108 2109 April 13th, 2000 J. Apostolakis - field-V01-01-00 2110 2111 - Modified signature to function DumbStepper() in classes: 2112 G4HelixExplicitEuler, G4HelixHeum, G4HelixImplicitEuler, 2113 G4HelixSimpleRunge and G4MagHelicalStepper. 2114 - Modified signature and implementation of function MagFieldEvaluate() 2115 in G4MagHelicalStepper, to use Field (as ThreeVector) in place of dydx. 2116 - Made Richardson extrapolation optional (it is unclear if 2117 it offers benefit) in G4MagHelicalStepper. 2118 - Updated unit test testPropagateMagField and reference output. 2119 - G4LineSection: fixes to prevent divisions by 0. and sqrt(<0) 2120 (V.Grichine). 2121 2122 January 19th, 2000 G. Cosmo - field-V01-00-00 2123 2124 Syncronized versioning of files with HEAD after ISO-C++ migration 2125 (essentially CVS header changes). 2126 2127 December 7th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01a 2128 2129 For negative or very small curve lengths (h) we suppress writing an error 2130 (about the distance of endpoints being further than the curve length), 2131 as it is meaningless. 2132 2133 November 23rd, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-V00-01-01 2134 2135 Tagged this sub-category's state in geometry-V00-01-01 2136 2137 2138 July 6th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-07 2139 2140 These fixes and those in field-01-00-06 and field-01-00-06a all come 2141 from the need to cope with the imprecision of the integration, and its 2142 interaction with paths that are rather straight. 2143 2144 G4MagIntegrationDriver: 2145 i) AccurateAdvance now that the chord distance is smaller than the curve len- 2146 gth (times 1+epsilon). 2147 2148 ii) OneGoodStep and QuickAdvance considers the error of the velocity as well as 2149 the error of the position - and ensure that both relative errors are within 2150 the "eps" maximum given. 2151 2152 G4ChordFinder: 2153 Having found that the curve_length vs ABdist disrepancy has its basis in 2154 the imprecision of the integration: 2155 i) Modified the exception in this case to happen only for very large 2156 relative disrepancies ( 10 * eps ). 2157 ii) Undertaken a default corrective action in all other cases 2158 Note that this disrepancy only happens for very straight sections of track - 2159 ie step lengths much smaller than the curvature of the track. 2160 2161 July 1st, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06a 2162 2163 In order to cope with the anomalous condition created by candidate fix 2164 in G4PropagatorInField, we ensure that the fraction_AE is always between 2165 0 and 1.0. (giving it a default value of 0.5 whenever it is wrong). 2166 ( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV ) 2167 2168 June 29th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-06 2169 2170 I re-instated a check on whether the input distance along the curve between 2171 the two input curve points is truly greater than their linear distance. 2172 ( in G4ChordFinder::ApproxCurvePointV ) 2173 2174 The condition that prints out a warning message has been altered to 2175 take into account the case of a very small final interval. 2176 ( in G4MagInt_Driver::AccurateAdvance ) 2177 2178 June ??th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-05 2179 2180 The condition that prints out a warning message was changed to delete 2181 an incorrect comparison. 2182 ( in G4MagInt_Driver::AccurateAdvance ) 2183 2184 April 19th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-04 2185 2186 G4MagErrorStepper: Cosmetic changes to name of data members 2187 2188 March 4th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-03 2189 2190 Corrected delete statement of arrays to use 'delete[]' instead of simple delete 2191 in destructors of 2 steppers (G4CashKarpRKF45, G4SimpleHeum) 2192 2193 February 17th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-02 2194 2195 Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes. 2196 Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore. 2197 -> the known circular dependency is removed 2198 2199 2200 February 12th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-spin1-works1 (act Feb17) 2201 2202 A tag that contains the first version that worked with spin (in Peter G.'s 2203 directory). G4PropagateInSpin is still in this version. A small change 2204 in a branch of the header file was needed. 2205 2206 2207 February 10th, 1999 J. Apostolakis 2208 2209 All the following changes are needed for energy integration also: 2210 2211 G4ChordFinder now passes to the constructed driver the number of variables. 2212 Because of the need for the stepper to know about it in its Abstract interface 2213 2214 -> Moved theNumberOfVariables from derived class G4MagErrorStepper 2215 to base class G4MagIntegratorStepper 2216 2217 As a consequense the classes that derived from G4MagIntegratorStepper directly 2218 were changed: G4CashKarpRKF45, G4MagHelicalStepper, 2219 2220 2221 February 9th, 1999 J. Apostolakis 2222 2223 Equation of Motion: 2224 G4MagEqRhs.hh Made SetChargeMomentumMass virtual, so that G4Mag_SpinEqRhs 2225 can initialise its constants too. 2226 2227 2228 February 9th, 1999 P. Gumplinger 2229 2230 Added Equation of Motion for Spin in Magnetic Field. 2231 2232 2233 February 17th, 1999 J. Apostolakis - field-01-00-01 2234 ---> date is correct, made sure that tag does not include above fixes! 2235 2236 Moved G4PropagatorInField files to geometry/volumes. 2237 Updated GNUmakefile not to depend on geometry/volumes anymore. 2238 -> the known circular dependency is removed 2239 2240 2241 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2242 ------ Geant 4 Production Release ------------ 2243 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2244 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-04-01head ===> R+D version only 2245 2246 G4PropagatorInField files modified: 2247 2248 - to store the last safety computed and its origin. 2249 - to give them to a requester 2250 ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2251 2252 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-03-03b 2253 2254 Subtle fix to interface of G4UniformMagField::GetFieldValue 2255 ( that tripped Visual C++ ) 2256 2257 G4PropagatorInField: added printing method for verboseness. 2258 2259 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-03-03a 2260 2261 Steppers: Fixed instance variables construction (SimpleRunge) 2262 and clash of names in CashKarp::StepWithEstimate 2263 2264 Added post-const to all Field classes for 2265 void GetFieldValue(const G4double yTrack[] , 2266 G4double B[] ) const ; 2267 2268 Added SetFieldValue methods to UniformMagField 2269 2270 Added GetConstantFieldValue() methods to Uniform Mag & Electric Fields 2271 2272 2273 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-03-03 2274 2275 Fixes to Propagate and Steppers 2276 2277 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-03-02 2278 2279 Minor corrections (???) 2280 2281 Nov 19th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - field-00-03-02 2282 2283 Major development to allow Electric Field 2284 2285 2286 2287 June 17th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - magfield-06-03 2288 2289 Modified Files: 2290 include/G4PropagatorInField.hh 2291 src/G4PropagatorInField.cc 2292 test/testPropagateInField.cc 2293 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2294 2295 1) Added an assertion after each call to LocateGlobalPointAndSetup. 2296 It checks that the located volume is equal to the current volume. 2297 If this check fails, the Propagator does not know how to continue. 2298 2299 2) Added an argument to ComputeStep method of G4PropagatorInField. 2300 The new volume argument is used to check the current volume during the step. 2301 2302 3) When G4Navigator's ComputeStep returned stepLength==stepRequested, this 2303 used to be treated as a failure to intersect. This is incorrect. 2304 2305 stepLength==stepRequested is an intersection, 2306 so I am now treating it as such in each comparison (of 3). 2307 Ignoring it causes problems, including volume being skipped. 2308 --> but treating it as an intersection used to cause problems too ?? 2309 2310 2311 May 7th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - magfield-06-02-helix01 2312 2313 - Tag includes new version of G4ChordFinder (not used by W.Wander). 2314 2315 2316 May 7th, 1998 W. Wander (recorded/commited by J. Apostolakis) 2317 2318 - New "helical" RK steppers that move in helical segments, not linear. 2319 * Several changes to add steppers 2320 2321 Modified Files: 2322 G4MagErrorStepper.hh 2323 G4MagErrorStepper.cc 2324 added Helical stepping methods to this general ABC. 2325 2326 G4MagIntegratorStepper.hh 2327 made RightHandSide virtual (this will be reversed very soon) 2328 2329 testPropagateMagField.cc 2330 Test of Helical stepping functionality added. 2331 2332 Added Files for new Helical RK steppers, deriving from G4MagErrorStepper: 2333 G4HelixExplicitEuler.cc ( and .hh ) 2334 G4HelixHeum.cc 2335 G4HelixImplicitEuler.cc 2336 G4HelixSimpleRunge.cc 2337 2338 Added File for implementation: 2339 G4MagErrorStepper.icc 2340 2341 2342 May 7th, 1998 J. Apostolakis - magfield-06-01 2343 2344 - added small changes to 2345 * G4ChordFinder: methods to get/set IntegratorDriver 2346 * G4MagIntegratorDriver: made OneGoodStep method public 2347 - created the file.
