A gismo-generated muon traverses the detector. Note there are now 89 tiles

Joanne has a new test program that generates output much better than the above! click here, and then on "Materials Summary".

New package: DetModelSvc.

Objective: provide simple interface via Gaudi Service. Will include the current detModel pacakge, but not xmlUtil, which will remain a separate package.

Still under development.

Simulation status (G4/Gismo)

All pure geometric parameters have been removed from the instrument package. Layer info added to SiDetector objects. (Same as current SiLayerBox.) Plan is to move all remaining digitization parameters from instrument.xml to constants area of current xml in xmlUtil package.

G4Generator package creates TdGlastData on TDS, will write irf's but without MC truth. Not tested other than observing display,

GismoGenerator version exists that instantiates everything using detModel/xmlUtil.

Changes to environment: can occur now that PDR is over!

CMT v1r10p20011126 (from current v1r7 on Windows, and v1r9p20010927 on linux): Installed in cvs.
New GlastPolicy v4r1.

Public/private attribute of set has different effect, breaking executables in current released code. (In fact, private sets are completely invisible!) C. Arnault will fix before next "release". Currently kluged.
Gaudi v9r01 (from current v7)
gcc 3.0
Visual C++ 7.0 and Visual Studio .Net: now released, looking at.

Flux service (Sean)

Upgraded to allow for transients. Merged flux, FluxSvc packages.

Random number generator service, seed issue. (Keep this on the stack)

How does one control G4's use of random numbers? Anyone???
