01/21/2014: Notes for v1.2.0

Bug Fixes

  • Missing HK variables added so that the HK geometry could be specified as the default and the code won't crash.
  • HasSubEvents() function now returns the proper Boolean value.
  • Dark noise is now added between the start of the trigger window and the start of the signal.

Structural Changes

  • All of the different detector setups were moved into a file called WCSimDetectorConfigs.cc.
  • WCSimPMTQE.cc was created and all quantum efficiency info was put there.
  • WCSimWCDigitizer was split into a PMT collection (in the newly created WCSimWCPMT file) and a digitizer collection.
  • The PMT information was put into a single file called WCSimPMTObject.cc. PMTs now inherit from the newly created WCSimPMTObject class.
  • WCSimWCConstructWC is now named WCSimConstructCylinder to explicitly show that this function builds cylinderical geometries and should not be used to construct the HK geometry.

New Features

  • Python script was added to generate kinematics files for simple particles.
  • A (very) basic validation script was added in a new directory called verification-test-scripts. The verification_HitsChargeTime.C script checks the hits, charge, and timing of events against a clean copy of the WCSim code.
  • HPDs were added to the list of possible tubes allowed in WCSim.
  • Hyper-K with HPDs was added as a new detector configuration.
  • Updated the dark rate parameters for normal PMTs.
  • Added the dark rate comands to novis.mac. Uncommented out the dark rate commands in novis.mac and vis.mac.
  • Included the dark rate parameters for the HPDs in vis.mac and novis.mac.
