Validation Procedure Use one million points generated by Geant3. Compare G3 path vs TGeo found path (pictures for a CDF event) R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Validation Procedure Using points generated by Geant3 applications grecord.f --> mygeom.geom, mygeom.hbook Play-back these points in Geant3 using only the Geant3 geometry package. Compute g3path, snext, safety in myresults.hbook h2root myresults.hbook myresults.root Same operation with TGeo classes. Compare g3path with tgeopath, same for snext, safety Some discrepancies with Geant3 (see next) R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Validation Procedure Differences Geant3 TGeo Due to precision problems in Geant3, points recorded at the volume boundaries may be found on the other side by TGeo. When volumes declared MANY in Geant3 overlap and have sub-volumes also MANY, Geant3 is not always reporting the right answer. In general it does not matter, sometimes it does. In this exercise, we also found original errors in the detector description, eg wrong parameters. R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Status of the implementation - test of gtnext Visualization - best tool for checking the algorithms The "width" of the boundaries due to floating point limitations was determined for some shapes This diffusion effect is crucial for fixing stepping actions in order to trigger expected inside/ouside response of the modeler The diffusion was defined as the distance between extrapolated point from step and closest point that changes this in/out response. R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Status of the implementation Geant3 geometries - almost fully mapped (still not supporting multiple positioning for volumes having shapes with negative parameters which then are divided - quite seldom topology) "Where am I ?" - fully implemented Tested on a dozen of geometries, including all 4 LHC experiments Performance w.r.t GEANT3 - OK. The average gain factor ~1.5-2.0 , increasing for flat-like geometries Consistency vs. GEANT3 response reasonable : still few % differences, but fully understood Still scope for increasing speed, specially for cylindrical symmetries, where the current voxelization algorithm is not efficient enough. R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Status of the implementation - gtnext "Which is the next crossed boundary ?" - about 80% implemented, still a couple of weeks to work on it. Algorithms per shape improved w.r.t G3 for some shapes New functionalities added : normals to surfaces at crossing points, accurate distance to closest node, direction vector to closest point Features for stepping added : flags for entering and exiting R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
Summary The new Geometry Package looks very promising. We have been able to model all existing large detectors. Performance is better than Geant3. We are planing to interface it via TVirtualMC to Geant3, Geant4 and Fluka. Alpha release with ROOT version 3.03/07 R.Brun RTAG MC ROOT Geometry Package
