------------------- Release notes for G4MICE 2.4.1 ------------------------

The following bugs were fixed:

* A bug in MiceModules resulting in slow loading of modules has been repaired

* A bug in BTMultipole resulting in erroneous end fields for multipoles (e.g. 
  quadrupoles and dipoles) has been repaired. Note that some changes in the User
  Interface have been made necessary by this change.

Chris Rogers, February 2011


------------------- Release notes for G4MICE 2.4 --------------------------

As well as a number of bug fixes, the following improvements have been made:

* New Optics algorithm, PolyFit, finds a polynomial of arbitrary order that fits
  tracking within some user-specified tolerance

* Added the ability to transport individual particles in Optics application by
  defining a BeamType in the module that the Envelope is defined

* Optics optimiser should now run quicker.

* G4MICE now uses GEANT4 physics packages for tracking. QGSP_BERT is the
  default, although alternate packages can be selected using the PhysicsModel
  datacard. Hadronic processes can be controlled using the HadronicModel
  datacard. Note that this does change the energy loss and multiple scattering
  distribution slightly for muons. There is a significant change in the energy
  loss and multiple scattering distribution for electrons.

Chris Rogers, December 2010


------------------- Release notes for G4MICE 2.3 --------------------------

As well as a number of bug fixes, the following improvements have been made:

* Updated tracker simulation, used for the analysis of the cosmic ray data taken
  in Lab 7

* Updated tracker analysis application used for the generation of plots used in
  the tracker NIM paper

* Numerous new and updated online applications, including OnlineScalers,
  OnlineReconstruction, DataQualityCheck TofTree and TofTrace


Malcolm Ellis, 1 August 2010


------------------- Release notes for G4MICE 2.2 --------------------------

As well as a number of bug fixes, the following improvements have been made:

* Expressions in MiceModules - can evaluate expressions like
  PropertyDouble Energy (200.**2..+105.658**2.)**0.5 MeV

* Substitutions in MiceModules - can evaluate substitutions:
Define substitution at the level of the configuration file
  Substitution $mu_mass 105.658
Use it:
  PropertyDouble Energy (200.**2.+$mu_mass**2.)**0.5 MeV

* New option for repeating mice modules - RepeatModule2, passes the
number of the repeat as a parameter. This powerful tool can be used to
quickly set up adiabatic tapers, etc

* Optics application (currently a beta release): can now quickly push
beam envelopes through an arbitrary lattice without tracking individual
particles. See the documentation in MiceModules.

* General speed improvement, especially when handling long or
complicated lattices.

* Improvements to the stability of AnalysisGUI application.

* Improved algorithm for calculating weight inside an amplitude in
Analysis application

* Polynomial weighting algorithm added to CovarianceMatrix.hh (only
available as a C++ library function right now)

* Option to check for GEANT4 physical volume overlaps in datacards

* Extra options added to Virtual planes - radial cut, make output
relative to virtual plane position

* A few further bug fixes and stability improvements

---------------------  Release Notes for G4MICE 1.2  ---------------------

Release 1.2 builds on the transition to the new persistency and applications
scheme of release 1.1 and adds Digitisation functionality for the Scintillating
Fibre tracker, Electromagnetic Calorimeter and Time Of Flight stations.

A number of minor changes have been made to prepare the way for migration to g++
4.0.2 without compile warnings due to G4MICE code.

The Applications area now contains:

Analysis - The analysis executable used for emittance calculation.
Digitization - The digitisation executable reads in persistent Monte Carlo truth
               hits and creates the corresponding digits.
EventDisplay - The prototype Event Display developed for the KEK beam test in
               2005, requires the libsx library to compile.
FileSplitter - A utility to take one file generated with the new persistency
               scheme and extract a subset of the events from it.
KekOct2005 - Sample code for analysing the data produced in the test beam at KEK
             in 2005.
Optics - A program to perform Optics calculations and eventually attempt beam
         line optimisations.
PawHistograms - Reads in persistent classes and generate PAW histograms in an
                HBOOK file.
PawNtuples - Reads in persistent classes and generates a PAW ntuple.
RootEvent - An example application used for EmCal studies that generates a ROOT
            tree.
RootHistograms - Reads in persistent classes and generates ROOT histograms.
RootTrees - Reads in persistent classes and generates a simple ROOT tree.
Simulation - The simulation executable for MICE.

  - Move any existing MICE source tree out of the way to avoid problems

  - Check out the source

    export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@hep04.phys.iit.edu:/home/mice/cvsroot
    cvs co -r mice-0-3 MICE

  - Set up your environment

    edit MICE/setup/micesetup.sh
    . MICE/setup/micesetup.sh

    If you want visualization, set the relevant G4 variable, eg.

    export G4VIS_USE_OPENGLX=1

    which is the only one I have tested so far

  - Compile

    cd $MICESRC/mgr; make

    If all goes well, you should get the following executables

    $MICESRC/Simulation/object/$MICEPLATFORM/Simulation
    $MICESRC/DetResp/object/$MICEPLATFORM/Digitization
    $MICESRC/Recon/object/$MICEPLATFORM/Reconstruction
    $MICESRC/Analysisobject/$MICEPLATFORM/Analysis

  - Run the chain

    * Hits

      touch dummy.in; Simulation dummy.in

      which will generate an output file named Sim.out

    * Digits

      Digitization dummy.in

      which will generate an output file named Digits.out

    * Tracks

      Reconstruction dummy.in

      which will generate Rec.out

    This will track 100 muons through a fixed 4T field, generate raw
    data and reconstruct tracks from the SciFi data.

    You can also try running with visualization as

       Simulation dummy.in 1

    (note the extra argument) which will start an interactive session.

  - If anything goes wrong during any of these steps, report the problem
    right away

    This should create a few files named Focus.dat, Coupling.dat, etc.
    After that, you can insert the line

    SolDataFiles useFiles

    into the input file and the program will read the field maps from the
    files for quick startup

---------------  Release Notes for MICE release 0.1  -------------------

This release (cvs tag mice-0-1) of the MICE software distribution is
intended just to get things rolling. It has the following functionality:

- Environment: a shell script is provided in two flavors (bash and tcsh)
  under the setup toplevel directory to generate the appropriate shell
  environment for development work (Y. Torun)

- Makefiles: a basic build system is provided as makefiles under the mgr
  subdirectories to generate package libraries and also maintain a local
  site installation if desired (Y. Torun)

  toplevel doc subdirectory that contains instructions for getting and
  compiling the code

- BeamTools: this package now contains the latest version of the package
  from Fermilab (D. Elvira) that works with standard GEANT4 (no need for
  patches to GEANT4 source to get correct tracking in time varying
  electromagnetic fields). Some modifications were necessary to make it
  fit into our framework (Y. Torun)

- Kalman: is just a placeholder with a makefile

- Interface: the MICE Interface Library was adapted from BeamTools classes
  and now has support for SciFi calibration and configuration parameters
  (E. McKigney)

- Configuration: has SciFi parameters implemented (E. McKigney)
