Code Review (1) ● Covers several issues discussed at Catania. Group effort required. – Integer A and Z ● plan agreed to in Catania, Gunter Folger to initiate, first integer methods by June 2010 – Cleanup of G4HadronicProcess, including removal of apparently unused testing methods, replacement of G4HadronicWhiteBoard with DumpState, removal of G4HadReentrantException, removal of unnecessary exceptions ● first version done, testing underway, Vladimir Ivantchenko, (March 2010) – E/p conservation testing in G4HadronicProcess ● first version done, improvements to follow, Dennis Wright (March 2010) 14

Code Review (2) – use of standard Geant4 methods and classes ● use of standard Geant4 particle classes, Lorentz vectors, boosts in Bertini, Mike Kelsey (April 2010) ● extend standard methods to other models (LEP, HEP, RPG) – review all codes for faster execution: use of tabulated values, more efficient coding, remove unnecessary instantiations ● review of Bertini code, Mike Kelsey (June 2010) – final state rotation ● remove final state rotation from G4HadronicProcess, defer to models (2011) 15
