This distance corresponds to the maximum one in + flight due to the cover deformation due to the internal + pressure. Three thermal cover layers (nylon6, mylar and aluminium, + respectively in the new volumes COV1, COV2 and COV3) have been + added to the top container. + +NEW MATERIALS AND TRACKING MEDIA: + + Two new materials have been implemented: AMg6M mixture for volume + TSPH, and Nylon6 mixture for volume COV1. New tracking medium have + been added for Nylon6 Mixture (TNYL), AMg6M Mixture (TAMG) and Iron + (TIRO). + +TOF GEOMETRY: + TOF geometry has been updated: Scintillators positions in the + GPAMELA reference system have been corrected shifting all + scintillator paddle by 23 microns. + +TRACK NUMBER RECORDED FOR TOF: + The TOF structure now register the stack number into the HIT + structure. In GUSTEP the stack number is tested, if is greater than + 0, i.e. the particle is not the primary, the particle number is set + to 1000+IPART and passed to GPUTOF. Accordingly, now IPARTOF + variable can assume 2000 values instead of 100. + +POWER LAW SPECTRA GENERATION: + PLAW datacard parameters have been increased to 4. The meaning of + the 4th parameter is: extract random kinetic energy if PLAW(4)<0., + or extract random momentum if PLAW(4)>=0.. + +Sept 2007, Bari + +POWER LAW SPECTRA GENERATION: + It is now possible to select a power law spectra. Using the + datacard: PLAW, is possible to pass the spectral index and the + kinetic energy range. In PAWL(1) the user can pass the signed power + law index, i.e. PAWL -2.5, will generate a power law spectrum + according to exp(-2.5). Please note that the range is in kinetic + energy. In gukine the generated particle charateristics will be + retrived and the mass calculated from this infos. The KINE data + card assigned momentum will be overriden as well. + +PATHLENGHT CALCULATION MODIFIED IN TOF: + The pathlength calulation saved in the TOF hit structure has now + been modified. Insted of the pathlenght inside each paddle the + average pathlenght from the generation vertex to the hit in the + paddle, is saved.
