Minutes of the VMC meeting on 03 June 2009
  • Lia Lavezzi reported about a couple of bugs in GEANE that produces FPE crashes due to numerical roundings/instabilities for some rare cases and some track parameterization. The proposed fix sets a flag in a newly defined common block so that the user code can take the appropriate action (like aborting the track)
    • To do: Lia should send her fix (done against the SVN trunk) to Rene for commit
  • Mohammad reported that some old bugs in the G4ROOT interface re-appear in the new ROOT versions. These are the report of track vertex outside setup and assemblies that appear in simulation.
    • To do: Mohammad should supply a simple test so that I can reproduce and fix this (high priority!)
  • Mohammad has a new development related to the rewrite of GEANE EUSTEP in C++.
    • To do: Mohammad should report next time about the progress
  • There is a known difference in the production of Cerenkov photons between G3 and G4
    • To do: Ivana should contact GEANT4 experts to discuss this issue
  • The next meeting will be scheduled in September due to people availability
