29. Validation Procedure Use one million points generated by Geant3. Compare G3 path vs TGeo found path (pictures for a CDF event) ROOT Geometry Package

30. Validation Procedure • Using points generated by Geant3 applications • grecord.f --> mygeom.geom, mygeom.hbook • Play-back these points in Geant3 using only the Geant3 geometry package. Compute g3path, snext, safety in myresults.hbook • h2root myresults.hbook myresults.root • Same operation with TGeo classes. Compare g3path with tgeopath, same for snext, safety • Some discrepancies with Geant3 (see next) ROOT Geometry Package

31. Validation ProcedureDifferences Geant3 TGeo • Due to precision problems in Geant3, points recorded at the volume boundaries may be found on the other side by TGeo. • When volumes declared MANY in Geant3 overlap and have sub-volumes also MANY, Geant3 is not always reporting the right answer. In general it does not matter, sometimes it does. • In this exercise, we also found original errors in the detector description, eg wrong parameters. ROOT Geometry Package

32. Status of the implementation - test of gtnext • Visualization - best tool for checking the algorithms • The "width" of the boundaries due to floating point limitations was determined for some shapes • This diffusion effect is crucial for fixing stepping actions in order to trigger expected inside/ouside response of the modeler • The diffusion was defined as the distance between extrapolated point from step and closest point that changes this in/out response. ROOT Geometry Package

33. Status of the implementation • Geant3 geometries - almost fully mapped (still not supporting multiple positioning for volumes having shapes with negative parameters which then are divided - quite seldom topology) • "Where am I ?" - fully implemented • Tested on a dozen of geometries, including all 4 LHC experiments • Performance w.r.t GEANT3 - OK. The average gain factor ~1.5-2.0 , increasing for flat-like geometries • Consistency vs. GEANT3 response reasonable : still few % differences, but fully understood • Still scope for increasing speed, specially for cylindrical symmetries, where the current voxelization algorithm is not efficient enough. ROOT Geometry Package

34. Status of the implementation - gtnext • "Which is the next crossed boundary ?" - about 80% implemented, still a couple of weeks to work on it. • Algorithms per shape improved w.r.t G3 for some shapes • New functionalities added : normals to surfaces at crossing points, accurate distance to closest node, direction vector to closest point • Features for stepping added : flags for entering and exiting ROOT Geometry Package

35. Summary • The new Geometry Package looks very promising. • We have been able to model all existing large detectors. • Performance is better than Geant3. • We are planing to interface it via TVirtualMC to Geant3, Geant4 and Fluka. • Alpha release with ROOT version 3.03/07 ROOT Geometry Package
