82    November 2006, Bari
83    
84    
85    S4 GEOMETRY UPDATED:
86    The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong.
87    A container of aluminum has been added having walls of thickness equal
88    to 0.1 cm.  
89    
90    TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED:
91    S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate.
92    Before now, the positions were put by hand based on the positions given by
93    Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA
94    sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and
95    S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were
96    lightly approximated because the thicknesses of the mylar and of the glue were
97    not considered in that document. Also the height of S3 has been modified as
98    suggested from the Naples PAMELA collaborators.
99    
100    ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED.
101    The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill
102    the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the
103    details of these materials.
104    
105    TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED.
106    The top plate geometry has been simulated as a rectangular window filled
107    with a mixture of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). It has been
108    put in a N2 box having the same planar dimensions of CATA. In this box there
109    are also S2 and CATA at the right positions. Then the top plate geometry has
110    been completed with other eight small volumes of titanium positioned at the
111    corners of the N2 box. Four of them are at the same height of CATA, the
112    other four are at the same height of S2. The simulated geometry of the top
113    plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD drawings.
114    
115    October 2006, Bari
116    
117    The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some
118    volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
119    put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also
120    defined.
121    
122    September 2006, Bari
123    
124    SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card,
125    missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE
126    data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card:
127    NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with
128    a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.
129    
130    
131    June 2006, Bari
132    
133    The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc)
134    and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the
135    nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical
136    parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi,
137    E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
138    of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
139    that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
140    document it has been neglected.
141    
142    
143    May 2006, Bari & Tor Vergata
144    
145    GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED
146    
147       Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten
148       have been added.  The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma
149       enter the calorimeter absorber.  This is the steering routine to
150       simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance.  It
151       does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other
152       selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the
153       gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle
154       number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons.
155    
156    
157    May 2006, Bari & Florence
158    
159    CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED
160    
161       The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit
162       structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK
163       ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed
164       so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum
165       number of hit.
166       In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored.
167    
168    April 2006, Bari
169    
170    TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED
171    
172       The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been
173       added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M,
174       S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and
175       S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put
176       in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and
177       aluminum have been added at their nominal positions.  According to
178       Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air
179       gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the
180       polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been
181       defined as a mixture.  The positions of the three bottom
182       scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and
183       S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official
184       positions in PAMELA.
185    
186    Mar 2006, Bari
187    
188    GEN DATA CARD UPDATED
189    
190       To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane,
191       GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is
192       the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z
193       position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER +
194       ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3).
195    
196    Nov 2005, Bari
197    
198    GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED
199    
200       To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The
201       inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR.
202    
203    NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR
204    
205       This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag
206       is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to
207       'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly.
208    
209      
210    NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND
211    
212       The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the
213       geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been
214       updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and
215       literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed.
216    
217    GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES
218    
219       GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface
220       to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of
221       the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron
222       simulation. for details see:
223       http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html
224       This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is
225       not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into
226       gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree.
227       Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of
228       the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did
229       extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I
230       did store the include files into a newly created directory:
231       gpcalordes.
232       The Makefile has been updated accordingly.
233       Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F
234       NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In
235       particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library
236       libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are
237       present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged.
238       NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz
239       and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved
240       to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will
241       look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are
242       searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool
243       proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with
244       synchronization fo these files.
245      
246    
247    The GCALOR package
248    
249    June 2005, Bari
250    
251    TOF SCINTILLATOR PADDLES UPDATED
252    
253       The dimensions and the number of the scintillator paddles for each
254       TOF planes have been updated.
