61    September 2006, Bari
62    
63    SPHE and ND data card bugs fixed: the definition of the ND data card,
64    missing in the subroutine gpgeo.F, has been added; the meaning of the SPHE
65    data card has been changed. Before the correction the data card:
66    NDET 'SPHE' was used to delete the spherical top shell to substitute it with
67    a flat one.Now NDET 'SPHE' eliminates the whole container of PAMELA.
68    
69    
70    June 2006, Bari
71    
72    The center of the scintillator planes S22Y (variable ZPAMS22Y in gpdgeo.inc)
73    and S12X (variable ZPAMS12X in gpdgeo.inc) has been positioned at the
74    nominal height as measured in PAMELA (See the document: "Main geometrical
75    parameters of the PAMELA sub-detectors" by O. Adriani, L. Bonechi,
76    E. Mocchiutti, S. Ricciarini, 20 December 2005). Follows that the positions
77    of S21Y and S12X are higher than those in the cited document due to the fact
78    that in GPAMELA the thickness of the mylar has been considered while in the
79    document it has been neglected.
80    
81    
82    May 2006, Bari & Tor Vergata
83    
84    GIGANTIC RESONANCE FOR NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED
85    
86       Routines to simulate the gigantic resonance of gammas in Tungsten
87       have been added.  The GPGIG routine is called in GUSTEP if a gamma
88       enter the calorimeter absorber.  This is the steering routine to
89       simulate the production of neutrons from gigantic resonance.  It
90       does checks on STEP lenght. If the range is smaller than the other
91       selected for that step, it does generate the neutron and stops the
92       gamma. Please note that the neutron has now a new particle
93       number. This is to tag the gigantic resonance neutrons.
94    
95    
96    May 2006, Bari & Florence
97    
98    CAL HIT STRUCTURE BUGS FIXED
99    
100       The maximum number of hit is now different for the two hit
101       structures: CALST and CALI. Vectors inizialization and HBOOK
102       ntple booking have been updated. The GPDCAL routine has been fixed
103       so to handle the case in wich hits stored are more than the maximum
104       number of hit.
105       In this case in the ntple up to the maximum number of hits will be stored.
106    
107    April 2006, Bari
108    
109    TOF GEOMETRY AND POSITIONS UPDATED AND NEW MIXTURES ADDED
110    
111       The TOF geometry has been modified. The following boxes have been
112       added: POL1, POL2 and POLY made of polystyrene, S11M, S12M, S21M,
113       S22M, S31M and S32M made of mylar, S1A, S2A and S3 made of air and
114       S1 and S2 made of aluminum. Each scintillator paddle has been put
115       in his mylar box and the other materials: air, polystyrene, and
116       aluminum have been added at their nominal positions.  According to
117       Naples people the araldite glue has been simulated has an air
118       gap. For this work two new materials: the Mylar (MYLAR) and the
119       polystyrene (POLYSTYRENE) with a density of 35 g/l have been
120       defined as a mixture.  The positions of the three bottom
121       scintillator planes that contain respectively the S12X, S22Y and
122       S32X paddles have been regulated according on their official
123       positions in PAMELA.
124    
125    Mar 2006, Bari
126    
127    GEN DATA CARD UPDATED
128    
129       To enable generation on a surface perpendicular to the XY plane,
130       GEN gata card has been updated addingh a new parameter: ZDGEN. This is
131       the dimension, along Z axis , of the generation surface. The Z
132       position will be randomply chosen according to: Z= ZDGEN*RNDM_NUMBER +
133       ZGEN, i.e. Z= GEN(6)*RNDM_NOMBER + GEN(3).
134    
135    Nov 2005, Bari
136    
137    GUHADR AND GUPHAD UPDATED
138    
139       To use GCALOR package the hadronic routines have been updated. The
140       inizialization routine call CALSIG, while the other calls GCALOR.
141    
142    NEW GPKEY ADDED: GPCALOR
143    
144       This logical has been added to enable the GCALOR package. This flag
145       is set to true in GPDAT if the data card: HPAK, is set to
146       'GCAL'. The gpkey.inc has been update accordingly.
147    
148      
149    NEUTRON DETECTOR ADDED. NEW DIR: GPND
150    
151       The neutron detector has been added. At the moment it is just the
152       geometry. The directory structure of the repository has been
153       updated as well. Dimensions has been taken from picture and
154       literature. A full upgrade to the drawing is needed.
155    
156    GCALOR PACKAGE ADDED. NEW DIRs: GPCALOR, GPCALORDES
157    
158       GCALOR package contins the CALOR simulation code and an interface
159       to use it in GEANT. The important feature for us is the usage of
160       the MICAP code. This is facused on the low energy neutron
161       simulation. for details see:
162       http://www.staff.uni-mainz.de/zeitnitz/Gcalor/gcalor.html
163       This package should be distributed with the GEANT library but is
164       not up to date. I did download the latest release and stored into
165       gpcalor directory of the gpamela tree.
166       Then I did clean up the code substituting the explicit inclusion of
167       the commons with a #include cpp directive. In parallel I did
168       extract the commons to include files having the same common name. I
169       did store the include files into a newly created directory:
170       gpcalordes.
171       The Makefile has been updated accordingly.
172       Please note that to avoid conflict with CRENLIB distribution the gcalor source file has been named gpcalor.F
173       NOTE: There are still problem due to different common sizes. In
174       particular the common MICFIL is maller in the geant library
175       libgeant.a . There the subroutines: gmorin, gmxsec, gmplxs, are
176       present and linked using a wrong version of the common. This still needs to be debuged.
177       NOTE2: The auxiliary files with the cross sections: chetc.dat.gz
178       and xsneut.dat.gz, have been added to the aux directory and moved
179       to the working directory, i.e. GPAMELA_BIN. The GCALOR routine will
180       look for CERN_ROOT environment variable. If found files are
181       searched there at first, then in the working directory. A fool
182       proof policy has to be implemented to avoid problem with
183       synchronization fo these files.
