  1. Status of CHIPS cross sections and migration of the physics lists Witek Pokorski 23.05.2012

  2. Goal • remove all the dependencies on CHIPS from the Geant4 production physics lists • extract (clone) the CHIPS cross sections used by other physics lists (models) • change the inheritance to use the standard Geant4 base classes • implement the standard methods, etc • remove any use of CHIPS classes (PDG, etc) • put them all in hadronic/cross_sections according to the Geant4 toolkit design allowing proper dependency of modules

  3. Inelastic cross sections • inelastic cross sections for K+/-/0, Pi+/-, p, n, hyperons, anti-baryons have been extracted from CHIPS and put in hardonic/cross_sections • naming convention: G4ChipsKaonMinusInelasticXS.hh • inheriting from G4VCrossSectionDataSet • no any dependency on CHIPS, no singleton, follows standard G4 interface for cross sections • can be used directly in physics list and handled by G4CrossSectionDataStore • removed use of ‘tolerance’ (see later)

  4. Elastic cross sections • elastic cross sections for K+/-/0, Pi+/-, p, n, hyperons, anti-baryons have been extracted from CHIPS and put in hardonic/cross_sections • naming convention: G4ChipsKaonMinusElasticXS.hh • inheriting from G4VCrossSectionDataSet • no any dependency on CHIPS, no singleton, follows standard G4 interface for cross sections • can be used directly in physics list and handled by G4CrossSectionDataStore • no use of ‘tolerance’

  5. Issues in CHIPS cross-sections (1/2) • all CHIPS (inelastic) cross sections use ‘tolerance’ • if |new_momentum - old_momentum| < tolerance*p, use the same cross section, do not recompute • physically acceptable approximation, but totally breaks reproducibility • confirmed to be one of the remaining sources of the problems observed by Alberto • fixed by Vladimir I., but commented out • for instance FTFP_BERT still using the K cross-sections with tolerance • removed use of tolerance in the new (extracted) cross section classes

  6. Issues in CHIPS cross-sections (2/2) • for K0 the following code is used in the current CHIPS interface else if(particle == G4KaonZeroLong::KaonZeroLong() || particle == G4KaonZeroShort::KaonZeroShort() || particle == G4KaonZero::KaonZero() || particle == G4AntiKaonZero::AntiKaonZero() ) { CSmanager=G4QKaonZeroNuclearCrossSection::GetPointer(); if(G4UniformRand() > 0.5) pPDG= 311; else pPDG=-311; } • uses random number to randomly choose between K0 and anti-K0

  7. Issues in CHIPS cross-sections (2/2)- continued • but... pPDG (the randomly chosen), not used anywhere afterwards.... • instead GetCrossSection for K0 returns G4double CS=(theKMinusCS->GetCrossSection(fCS,pMom,tgZ,tgN,-321) +theKPlusCS->GetCrossSection(fCS,pMom,tgZ,tgN,321))/2; • the new class follows (for the moment?) this approach

  8. Component cross sections class • common (optional) ‘interface’ to elastic and inelastic has been implemented • G4ChipsComponentXS in hadronic/cross_sections • allows to access all the cross sections (for all particles) through one class • gives also the total cross section

  9. Migrations of models (1/2) • in parton_string/diffraction there was a direct use of CHIPS cross sections • this has been migrated to the new cross sections • see G4FTFParameters • the old interface G4ComponentCHIPShadronNuclearXS from parton_string/diffraction can now be removed

  10. Migration of models (2/2) • in coherent_elastic there was the interface G4CHIPSElasticXS to CHIPS elastic cross sections and to the CHIPS elastic process (G4CHIPSElastic) • new interface has been implemented G4ChipsElasticModel for the elastic process • new cross sections can be used now directly (because they inherit from G4VCrossSectionDataSet)

  11. Migration of physics lists • G4HadronElasticPhysics and G4HadronDElasticPhysics migrated to new elastic scattering classes (cross sections) • G4HyperonFTFPBuilder, HadronPhysicsFTFP_BERT and HadronPhysicsFTFP_BERT_TRV migrated to new cross sections • FTFP_BERT and FTFP_BERT_TRV physics lists now use the new cross sections classes • Andrea has run the simplified calorimeter with the new cross sections • no crashes, no problems • results show no differences

  12. Conclusion • ‘Cloning’ of CHIPS cross sections done • reproducibility problems solved in the same time • processes using those cross sections internally (coherent elastic, FTF) has been migrated to the new ones • in SVN, tagged, accepted • FTFP_BERT physics list migrated to the new cross sections • in SVN, tagged, accepted • first validation results show no problems • ready to put in the next reference tag and in the beta release
