72    
73    November 2006, Bari
74    
75    
76    S4 DIMENSIONS UPDATED:
77    The x and y dimensions have been corrected because they were wrong.
78    
79    TOF POSITIONS DEFINITELY UPDATED:
80    S2 and S1 have been positioned again, after the simulation of the top plate.
81    Before now, the positions were put ad hoc based on the positions given by
82    Sergio Ricciarini in the document 'Main geometrical parameters of the PAMELA
83    sub-detectors' released by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi, E. Mocchiutti and
84    S. Ricciarini on the 20th of December 2005.. These positions were
85    lightly approximated.
86    
87    ND GEOMETRY COMPLETED.
88    The He3 and the polyethylene (CH2) have been added to fill
89    the volumes NDTI and NDPB in the neutron detector. Leonov gave us the
90    details of these materials.
91    
92    TOP PLATE GEOMETRY ADDED.
93    The top plate geometry has been simulated as a N2 box that has the same
94    dimensions of CATA. Inside it, at the right positions, there are S2 and CATA.
95    The real top plate is a rectangular window having a thickness of 0.5 cm
96    (volume TPTL emptied by the volume TPCV). This volume is filled with a mixture
97    of titanium (90%), aluminum (6%) and vanadium (4%). Other parts of titanium
98    are the four volumes TPTU, which are positioned at the corners of TPTL at the
99    same height of CATA, and the four volumes TPTM, which are positioned at the
100    corners of TPTL, at the same height of S2.
101    The geometry  of the top plate is based on a simplified version of the CAD
102    drawings.
103    
104    October 2006, Bari
105    
106    The geometry of the neutron detector has been updated. Some dimensions of some
107    volumes have been corrected and the aluminum cover and the aluminum boxes to
108    put the cables have been added. A new material, the cadmium, has been also
109    defined.
110    
111    September 2006, Bari
112    
113    SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card,
114    missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE
115    data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card:
116    NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with
117    a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.
118    
119    
120    June 2006, Bari
121    
122    The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc)
123    and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the
124    nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical
125    parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi,
126    E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
127    of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
128    that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
129    document it has been neglected.
130    
131    
132    May 2006, Bari & Tor Vergata
133    
134    GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED
135    
136       Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten
137       have been added.  The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma
138       enter the calorimeter absorber.  This is the steering routine to
139       simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance.  It
140       does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other
141       selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the
142       gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle
143       number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons.
144    
145    
146    May 2006, Bari & Florence
147    
148    CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED
149    
150       The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit
151       structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK
152       ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed
153       so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum
154       number of hit.
155       In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored.
156    
157    April 2006, Bari
158    
159    TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED
160    
161       The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been
162       added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M,
163       S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and
164       S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put
165       in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and
166       aluminum have been added at their nominal positions.  According to
167       Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air
168       gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the
169       polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been
170       defined as a mixture.  The positions of the three bottom
171       scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and
172       S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official
173       positions in PAMELA.
174    
175    Mar 2006, Bari
176    
177    GEN DATA CARD UPDATED
178    
179       To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane,
180       GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is
181       the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z
182       position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER +
183       ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3).
184    
185    Nov 2005, Bari
186    
187    GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED
188    
189       To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The
190       inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR.
191    
192    NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR
193    
194       This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag
195       is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to
196       'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly.
197    
198      
199    NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND
200    
201       The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the
202       geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been
203       updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and
204       literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed.
205    
206    GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES
207    
208       GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface
209       to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of
210       the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron
211       simulation. for details see:
212       http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html
213       This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is
214       not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into
215       gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree.
216       Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of
217       the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did
218       extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I
219       did store the include files into a newly created directory:
220       gpcalordes.
221       The Makefile has been updated accordingly.
222       Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F
223       NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In
224       particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library
225       libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are
226       present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged.
227       NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz
228       and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved
229       to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will
230       look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are
231       searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool
232       proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with
233       synchronization fo these files.
234      
235    
236    The GCALOR package
237    
238    June 2005, Bari

240    TOF SCINTILLATOR PADDLES UPDATED
241    
242       The dimensions and the number of the scintillator paddles for each
243       TOF planes have been updated.
