|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | * Changes relative to V.1.4beta:
|
|---|
| 18 | - implementation of the energy flow
|
|---|
| 19 | - calotowers are first merged then smeared
|
|---|
| 20 | - photons are based on these calotowers: conservative approach
|
|---|
| 21 | - electrons are separately smeared according to the calotower
|
|---|
| 22 | resolution.
|
|---|
| 23 | - new: list of calorimeters ; CaloUtil added
|
|---|
| 24 | - new: constants moved from SmearUtil.* to D_Constants.*
|
|---|
| 25 | - new: GenParticle class
|
|---|
| 26 | - ParticleUtil changed into D_Particle
|
|---|
| 27 | - tracks and Taujets have now a charge
|
|---|
| 28 | - output available as a LHCO (text) data file, in option
|
|---|
| 29 | - extensive test and correction of the Bfield
|
|---|
| 30 | - using now an exact computation, assuming solenoidal field
|
|---|
| 31 | - about 20% faster than iterative approach
|
|---|
| 32 | - charged lepton isolation: IsolPt available
|
|---|
| 33 | - data cards
|
|---|
| 34 | - default names have been changed
|

| 39 | | 09 February 2009: release Version1.4beta |
|
|---|
| 40 | \-----------------------------------------/
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | * Changes relative to V.1.3beta:
|
|---|
| 43 | - new overal header and program output to screen.
|
|---|
| 44 | - new trigger cards ATLAS and CMS-like
|
|---|
| 45 | - new detector card ATLAS oriented
|
|---|
| 46 | - New input parameters in the datacard for very forward detectors
|
|---|
| 47 | - Modification of the Resolution.cpp code to run on the output of Delphes directly
|
|---|
| 48 | - #include statements have been cleaned ; more include paths
|
|---|
| 49 | in the compilation, leading to easier #include statements.
|
|---|
| 50 | - extensive use of 'valgrind' for the search for memory leaks.
|
|---|
| 51 | No more explicit leak is in the code. The only leaks left are
|
|---|
| 52 | related to ROOT, to mcfio dependecy and to Hector.
|
|---|
| 53 | This implied the systematic addition of copy-constructor,
|
|---|
| 54 | operator= and correct destructors in Delphes classes
|
|---|
| 55 | - update of the BField simulation; still in the case of B = Bz only
|
|---|
| 56 | - JetsUtil* files renamed to JetsUtil*
|
|---|
| 57 | * Private modifications in dependencies
|
|---|
| 58 | - memory leaks removed in FROG (applied on Frog v1.106)
|
|---|
| 59 | - systematic change of by-value parameters to "by-const-reference"
|
|---|
| 60 | in Hector (applied on Hector v1.3.1)
