79    November 2006, Bari
80    
81    
82    S4 GEOMETRY UPDATED:
83    The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong.
84    A container of aluminum has been added having walls of thickness equal
85    to 0.1 cm.  
86    
87    TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED:
88    S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate.
89    Before now, the positions were put by hand based on the positions given by
90    Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA
91    sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and
92    S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were
93    lightly approximated because the thicknesses of the mylar and of the glue were
94    not considered in that document. Also the height of S3 has been modified as
95    suggested from the Naples PAMELA collaborators.
96    
97    ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED.
98    The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill
99    the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the
100    details of these materials.
101    
102    TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED.
103    The top plate geometry has been simulated as a N2 box that has the same
104    dimensions of CATA. Inside it, at the right positions, there are S2 and CATA.
105    The real top plate is a rectangular window having a thickness of 0.5 cm
106    (volume TPTL emptied by the volume TPCV). This volume is filled with a mixture
107    of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). Other parts of titanium
108    are the four volumes TPTU, which are positioned at the corners of TPTL at the
109    same height of CATA, and the four volumes TPTM, which are positioned at the
110    corners of TPTL, at the same height of S2.
111    The geometry  of the top plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD
112    drawings.
113    
114    October 2006, Bari
115    
116    The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some
117    volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
118    put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also
119    defined.
120    
121    September 2006, Bari
122    
123    SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card,
124    missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE
125    data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card:
126    NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with
127    a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.
128    
129    
130    June 2006, Bari
131    
132    The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc)
133    and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the
134    nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical
135    parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi,
136    E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
137    of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
138    that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
139    document it has been neglected.
140    
141    
142    May 2006, Bari & Tor Vergata
143    
144    GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED
145    
146       Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten
147       have been added.  The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma
148       enter the calorimeter absorber.  This is the steering routine to
149       simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance.  It
150       does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other
151       selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the
152       gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle
153       number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons.
154    
155    
156    May 2006, Bari & Florence
157    
158    CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED
159    
160       The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit
161       structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK
162       ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed
163       so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum
164       number of hit.
165       In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored.
166    
167    April 2006, Bari
168    
169    TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED
170    
171       The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been
172       added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M,
173       S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and
174       S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put
175       in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and
176       aluminum have been added at their nominal positions.  According to
177       Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air
178       gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the
179       polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been
180       defined as a mixture.  The positions of the three bottom
181       scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and
182       S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official
183       positions in PAMELA.
184    
185    Mar 2006, Bari
186    
187    GEN DATA CARD UPDATED
188    
189       To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane,
190       GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is
191       the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z
192       position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER +
193       ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3).
194    
195    Nov 2005, Bari
196    
197    GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED
198    
199       To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The
200       inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR.
201    
202    NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR
203    
204       This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag
205       is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to
206       'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly.
207    
208      
209    NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND
210    
211       The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the
212       geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been
213       updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and
214       literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed.
215    
216    GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES
217    
218       GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface
219       to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of
220       the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron
221       simulation. for details see:
222       http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html
223       This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is
224       not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into
225       gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree.
226       Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of
227       the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did
228       extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I
229       did store the include files into a newly created directory:
230       gpcalordes.
231       The Makefile has been updated accordingly.
232       Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F
233       NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In
234       particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library
235       libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are
236       present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged.
237       NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz
238       and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved
239       to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will
240       look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are
241       searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool
242       proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with
243       synchronization fo these files.
244      
245    
246    The GCALOR package
247    
248    June 2005, Bari
249    
250    TOF SCINTILLATOR PADDLES UPDATED
251    
252       The dimensions and the number of the scintillator paddles for each
253       TOF planes have been updated.
254    
255    May 2005, Bari
256    
257    Some updates on the latest modification done in the past year.
258    
259    NEW DATA CARD ADDED: HFSF
260    
261       To define a policy for the random number initial seeds
262       definition. Using this card is possible to override GEANT seeds
263       defined via NRDM card. The policy is selected according to the
264       values:
265    
266       - 1: The seeds are initialized to the initial values found in a user
267            defined file or the default file: INPUTSEED.DAT
268      
269       - 2: The seeds are initialized to the final values found in a user defined
270            file or the default file: INPUTSEED.DAT
271    
272       The case 1 must be used in case the user needs to reproduce the
273       random chain of a previous run. In this case the user can save the
274       initial seeds, used in the run he would like to reproduce, in a
275       binary file and pass the filename to the program using the *FLSF
276       data card. In case the user file is not specified the default
277       INPUTSEED.DAT will be used.
278      
279       The case 2 must be used in case the user needs to chain several
280       GPAMELA run and likes to be sure he is starting the random
281       generator using the right sequence. In this case the user must
282       specify an input binary file using the *FLSF data card, otherwise
283       the INPUTSEED.DAT file will be used.
284    
285    NEW DATA CARD ADDED: *FSFI
286    
287       Using this card the user can specify the logical unit and name of
288       the file storing the initial seeds to be used to initialize the
289       random number generator. This file must be a FORTRAN binary one
290       storing four integer numbers. The first two are the number to be
291       used in the case: HFSF=1, the other two will be used in the case:
292       HFSF=2. This file can be one created by GPAMELA or by the user
293       filled with his own seeds. For this purpose an utility program:
294       writeseeds.f, has been added in the aux directory.  In case the
295       *FSFI card is not specified the default values: 24 and INPUTSEEDS.DAT, will
296       be used as LUN and file name respectively.
297      
298    NEW DATA CARD ADDED: *LSFI
299    
300       Using this card the user can specify the logical unit and name of
301       the file storing the first and last seeds used in the GPAMELA
302       run. This file is a FORTRAN binary one. This file can be used as
303       input one specifying it in the *FSFI data card of the next GPAMELA
304       run.  In case the *LSFI card is not specified the default values: 26
305       and HBOOKFILENAME.DAT (as sepified in *HFI), will be used as LUN
306       and file name respectively.
307      
308    NEW UTILITY PROGRAMS ADDED: writeseeds.f, readseeds.f
309    
310       These new programs have been added in the aux directory. Using these a
311       user defined seed file can be created and re-read.
312    
313    NEW VOLUMES ADDED: MSHE, BSPH; PRESSURIZED CONTAINER ADDED
314    
315       Alexey Bakaldin, in MEPHI, did add the PAMELA pressurized container to
316       the simulation. He did defined new volumes filled with aluminum and
317       placed inside the mother volume. Positions have been fine tuned by
318       Marialuigia Ambriola and compared to the CAD drawings.
319       Two new volumes have been added to simulate the container:
320       - MSHE, a tube simulating the middle part of the container
321       - BSPH, the spherical bottom part of the container
322    
323       To better simulate the upper part the SHEL volume has been modified
324       into a cone. Dimentions of the top cover: TSPH, have been modified
325       accordingly.
326    
327    DETECTOR POSITIONS REVIEWED
328    
329       All detector Z positions have been reviewd to fit into the
330       simulated pressurized container.
331    
332    TRD GEOMETRY AND CALIBRATION REVIEWD
333    
334       The TRD geometry has been deeply reviewed. Using the CAD drawings
335       the carbon fiber frames have been simulated and radiator dimentions
336       corrected. For this reason the calibration done on the beam tests
337       has been revied and new sets of calibration constants calculated
338       comparing the beam test data with the GPAMELA results. The new
339       constants are about 3% larger than the previous ones.
340      
341    TRACKER GEOMETRY REVIEWED. NEW VOLUME DEFINED: THBP, TPAS, TPAI
342      
343       Thanks to Lorenzo Bonechi for the drawings and explanations. Now the
344       hybrd cards have been put into the simulation and the geometry updated
345       considering the dead zones in the silicon detectors. The hybrid zone
346       has been simulated as well. At the moment the hybrid is simulated as
347       a G10 plates. The full height of the tracker magnet has been
348       reviewed as well.
349    
350       The tracker ladder is now simulated inside a nitrogen box: TPAS,
351       placed inside an aluminum frame: TRPB. Each silicon ladder has been
352       simulated using two silicon blocks: TRSL, into each of this block a
353       smaller silicon detector: TPAI, has been placed inside the larger
354       silicon block TRSL. In this way the subdivided silicon ladder can
355       be upgraded with an indipendend roto-translation for each sensor.
356      
357       The TRPB aluminum frame has been enlarged to fit the external
358       magnet canister frame.
359      
360       The last plane has been flipped with a 180 degree rotation around
361       the X axis.
362      
363    TRACKER HIT STRUCTURE REVIEWED
364    
365       Taking into account the new version of the tracker geometry, the hit
366       structure for this detector has been revied.
367    
368    CALORIMETER GEOMETRY REVIEWED
369    
370       Marco Albi reviewed the calorimeter dimentions and positioning.
371    
372    
373    29 March 2004, Bari
374    
375    NON-REPRODUCIBILITY PROBLEM OF A GPAMELA RUN FIXED.
376       The non-reproducibility of a GPAMELA run was due to the random number
377       initialization in the GARFIELD code. In GARFIELD by default, the initial
378       seeds of the random number generators are always the same while the random
379       number generators are called a given number of times (determined by the
380       hour of the day) during the initialization phase (see init.f subroutine in
381       the GARFIELD code for details). Follows that different runs produce
382       different results without changing the initial seeds. To have identical
383       results in different runs, the GARFIELD program has to start typing the
384       noRNDM_initialisation switch. To avoid of specifying this switch
385       by the user,
386       the GARFIELD package has been upgraded with a patch. In this way the problem
387       is partially solved because, now, the initial seeds of the random generators
388       in GARFIELD will be always the same even if the RNDM GEANT data card is
389       activated by the user for changing the initial seeds in the GPAMELA program.
390       Work is in progress for a more general correction of this problem.
391       Please, use the updated GARFIELD code released with the CVS version v4r1
392       to fix this problem.  
393    
394    
395    RNDM ROUTINE REPLACED BY THE GRNDM ROUTINE IN GPXTR AND NPOISS.
396       The obsolete RNDM random number generator has been replaced by the GEANT
397       GRNDN routine in the gpxtr.F subroutine and in the npoiss.F function.
398    
399    BUG FOUND AND FIXED: the set and detector calorimeter addresses (ISCAL
400       and IDCASI variables) used in GUTREV were respectively set to a fixed
401       values of 12 and 1. The correct values of these variables are stored in
402       the GPSED common when the set and the detector ZEBRA banks are filled
403       during a run. In general the values of the set and detector addresses

409       CALORIMETER SIMULATION completed! The update of the geometry and of the
410       special tracking parameters and the tuning of the calorimeter have been
411       successfully done. A great quantity of simulated data have been produced
412       in the calorimeter for different particles (muons, electrons and pions)
413       and momenta (5 and 40 GeV/c) and the output data have been analyzed. The
414       distributions of the total energy deposited in the calorimeter and the
415       total number of strips hit have been compared with the respective
416       distributions produced by the Trieste's tuned standalone Monte Carlo
417       simulation program of the PAMELA calorimeter. The accord between the
418       two simulations is excellent. Many thanks to Mirko for his collaboration.
419    
420       Working in progress on TRD. The GARFIELD interface to the HEED program is not
421       optimized to track particle with a charge greater than one and photons. The
422       program print a warning message to advise the user when it is the case.

426       The buffer size of each column of the GPAMELA Ntuple has been increased to
427       4096 and set equal to the record length, defined by a call to the HROPEN
428       routine.
429       Also the length of the common /PAWC/ (parameter NWPAW) has been increased
430       to 1.34E8, according to the rule that it has to be larger than the number
431       of columns times the buffer size.

434    
435       The variables in the HIT STRUCTURE of the CALORIMETER and their way to be
436       filled have been changed according to the electronics system of the real
437       detector. In fact, because each silicon detector (module) consists of
438       32 strips and each strip is connected to those belonging to the two detectors
439       of the same row (or column) for forming 24 cm long strips, the sum of the
440       deposited energies in the strips forming a `long strip' is now calculated for
441       each event (gpucal.F subroutine) and it is stored in a hit only at the
442       end of the event (gutrev.F subroutine).
443       The output variables of the GPAMELA en-tuple are then filled in the vectors
444       ICAPLANE(NTHCAL), ICASTRIP(NTHCAL), ENESTRIP(NTHCAL) and ICAMOD(NTHCAL),
445       by a call to the GPDCAL subroutine:
446       -ICAPLANE(i) contains the number of hit plane;
447       -ICASTRIP(i) contains the number of hit strip;
448       -ICAMOD(i) can assume different values based on the number of times and
449                  positions in which a `long strip' has been hit.
450       -ENESTRIP(i) contains the deposited energy in the hit strip;
451       where i is the number of hit (1<i<4224).
452       Note that in the calorimeter each hit is filled at the end of the event and
453       that there is a hit for each `long strip' hit from
454       the particle. This use of the hit structure is different for the other
455       detectors and it has been considered to avoid a too big number of hit in the
456       calorimeter due to the showers. Follows that NTHCAL, which is the
457       max number of hit in the calorimeter, is equal to 4224, the total
458       number of `long strips'. So, for each event, the real number of hit will
459       be less or equal to 4224.
460       ICAMOD(i) is an additional information that does not exist in the real
461       detector: if the strip i (i=1,32) of the module 1 or 2 or 3
462       is hit, the value of ICAMOD(i) is respectively incremented of 1, 100, 10000.
463       Analogously it is done, if it is the strip j (j=33,64) of the modules 4, 5
464       and 6 or if it is the strip k (k=65,96) of the modules 7, 8 and 9.
465       For example if we consider the hit 1 of an event, we could read:
466       ICASTRIP(1)=30, ICAPLANE(1)=21, ENESTRIP(1)=0.5E-03 and ICAMOD(1)=10001.
467       It means that the hit 1 contains the information that in the strip 30 of the
468       plane 21 has been deposited a total energy of 0.5E-03 GeV. In addition the
469       `long strip 30' has been hit two times, one in the first module and the
470       other in the third one.
471    
472       The energy deposited in the calorimeter is calculated in GeV.
473    
474       To store the hits in the calorimeter the subroutine GSAHIT is used instead of
475       GSCHIT.
476    
477       To retrieve the hit structure the call to the routine GPRHIT is done instead
478       of a call to the GFHITS subroutine.

519    CALORIMETER geometry upgrade
520    
521       The volumes CAPD and CAAD have been taken off from the calorimeter.
522       In addition the logical tree has been slightly changed to make the shifts of
523       the silicon planes into the calorimeter box easier, i.e. the CAPL volume,
524       which was made of the CASI, CAKP, CAGL, C10C and CAKA volumes, has
525       been split up in the volumes CANS and CAPL. Now CANS is made of the CAKP,
526       CAGL, C10C and CAKA volumes while CAPL contains the CASI volume, that has to
527       be shifted as a function of the vertical position in the calorimeter. Also the
528       dimensions of some volumes have been upgraded, including the external ones:
529       CALB and CALS. CALS is an aluminum box of dimensions: 48.4*48.4*21.278 cm^3,
530       having side-walls 1 cm thick and a bottom of 1 mm. The real box is more
531       complicated and the configuration of the bottom should be upgraded if we want
532       a reliable description of the event in the S4 scintillator.

536    ANTICOINC. GEOMETRY UPGRADE
537    
538       The AC geometry has been updated. The top AC scintillator (CAT) now
539       consists of 1 single sheet of scintillator with a hole in the middle
540       and the correct geometry(*). The side AC scintillators (CAS) also
541       have the correct shape. The AC scintillators are placed in aluminum
542       boxes with plastic rims inside. For these rims a 'new' material, PLAS,
543       was defined. PLAS has all the characteristics of SCIN but is
544       non-sensitive. No PMTs or PMT holders have been modelled.
545       (*)-The interfaces on CAT where the PMTs should be located are
546           slightly different from the real case.
