AIDASoft/DD4hep: v01-03

v01-03

• 2017-10-12 Frank Gaede (PR#244)

  • allow for unbounded surfaces in DDRec
    • add new property SurfaceType::Unbounded
    • if a surface is marked unbounded Surface::insideBounds() ignores the volume boundaries (and only checks the distance to the surface)

• 2017-09-19 Whitney Armstrong (PR#233)

  • Added helper CellIDPositionConverter::cellDimensions(const CellID& cell)

• 2017-10-09 Frank Gaede (PR#242)

  • improve BitFieldCoder class
    • remove heap allocation of BitFieldElements
    • add move constructors for efficient filling of vector

• 2017-09-29 Frank Gaede (PR#238)

  • add new threadsafe class BitFieldCoder as replacement for BitField64
  • use as const everywhere
  • re-implement BitField64 using BitFieldCoder
    • is thread safe if used locally
    • can be instantiated from const BitFieldCoder*

• 2017-09-18 Markus Frank (PR#234)

  • Created a new example showing the CMS tracking detector
    • Get CMS going with their evaluation. Added a package DDCMS with the conversion plugins for the silicon trackers and the corresponding conversion mechanism for their xml structure.

• 2017-09-18 Frank Gaede (PR#232)

  • fix reading of stdhep/lcio generator files with generator statuses not in [0,3]
  • add G4PARTICLE_GEN_BEAM and G4PARTICLE_GEN_OTHER to DDG4
    • G4PARTICLE_GEN_BEAM is generally agreed to be used for beam particles (HepMC, LCIO)
    • all other status codes vary from generator to generator and we use OTHER
  • for stdhep or lcio input the true generator status is preserved in the lcio output, regardless of its value
  • create a vertex for every parent-less particle in LCIOEventReader
    • this allows for example to read GuineaPig files ( non-prompt pair particles) or special user created files with non-prompt particles
    • Resolves #101

• 2017-09-20 Markus Frank (PR#235)

  • A more complete version of the CMS tracker
    • Enhanced the CMS tracker example to be more complete.
    • Stopped at some point to convert all CMS algorithms. Hence, the tracker is not complete, but the remaining work looks to be purely mechanical.

• 2017-10-02 Frank Gaede (PR#239)

  • add cell sizes to printout of LayeredCalorimeterData::layer
    • used in dumpdetector -d

• 2017-09-14 Frank Gaede (PR#231)

  • adapt LCIOEventReader for Pythia8 and Whizard2
    • add all parent-less particles to outgoing vertex
    • fixes #226 and closes #229
    • also used for stdhep files

• 2017-09-07 Daniel Jeans (PR#227)

  • Fix calculation of cell position in MegatileLayerGridXY
  • previously, returned position was the lower corner of the cell
  • after this bug fix, it's the cell centre

• 2017-10-05 Frank Gaede (PR#241)

  • remove deprecated and unused classes from DDRec

• 2017-10-05 Frank Gaede (PR#240)

  • add dd4hep::rec::FixedPadSizeTPCData.zMinReadout
    • needed to describe the cathode thickness

• 2017-08-21 Markus Frank (PR#221)

  • Document several classes in doxygen notation.
    • Aim is that there are (at least) no class headers without docs.
    • See documentation
