Help: Forums, postings and threads

Forums, postings and threads

Click on the Forum title, e.g. on the "Forums by Category" page, to read a sequence of postings to the Forum and its threads all in one page. If you are only interested in one thread or the thread following a specific posting, click the thread or the posting, which takes you to a smaller page, which contains only the part you are interested in and may be easier to navigate.

Layout of the posting thread(s)

The posting threads can be shown with/without the text of the postings ("Inline depth"). In addition the depth of the thread can be controlled ("Outline depth"). For both cases several values are provided, which can be toggled. Note that the displayed values are those, which can be chosen, they do not correspond to the actual display status of the thread(s).

Show subscribers

Click "Show subscribers" to get the List of all subscribers, who receive e-mail from postings to this Forum, if they have not explictly unsubscribed from a posting thread. This includes:

Subscribers to the forum
Explicit subscribers to the posting or any of its ancestors
The author of the posting (if he has not unsubscribed)
The authors of any ancestor posting (if they have not unsubscribed)

Some browsers display old pages from the cache

Some browsers (e.g. Firefox) display a page from the cache even though the page has been updated. As a result, one may not get the latest messages in the forum's outline or the logon ID of the previous session appears on the upper right corner. If one suspects that he or she does not get the latest content of a page, try clearing up the personal data from the browser's cache as the following:

Tools -> Clear Private Data -> Clear Private Data (from browser Firefox)

Tools -> Delete Private Data (from browser Opera)

then reflesh the current page to get the latest content.

Details on "Inline depth" and "Outline depth"

Threads and the follow-up messages are numbered. There is one line per posting, normally starting with the posting number. The URLs of a posting and its responses reflect the depth of the follow-up postings. Watch the URLs to see how this is done. Depending on the chosen display options, the thread-display may be incomplete; the number of messages at the next level is, however, displayed, e.g. "…3 message(s)". You may not see all contributors unless you choose "All".

Messages are "chained" if there are only replies at the first level, i.e. 1/1.html, 1/1/1.html etc. In case of "chained" messages the message number is replaced by the icon and there is no indentation.

Inline: Display the subject line only or also the text of the posting(s); for the choice "All" the "Outline" choices are switched off.

Dear Vladimir,

Thank you for your quick answer. Things are going clearer.

At first my guess was that when the GetIon method is called, G4 instantiated a new Ion (if does not exist at this time) that's inherite all process form the GenericIon class and then you can edited freely his decay table. You confirmed that it does not work this way? NB: I was working this way on G4-09-01-patch-03 and it was working, so I would like to know if there is some problem if I go back to this G4 release.

I tried what you suggest:

- the first way work pretty well and I get inspiration from example you mentionned. Unfortunnetly, G4 don't have the channel that interrest me.

- So I tried the second way, and define a new particle, using G4ParticleDefinition method. At this point particle is instantiate without problem. But then, I use G4NuclearDecayChannel method to create a new decay channel, and here I have again the segmentation violation at exactly the same point, because one of the decay product is 8He, and the method called the GetIon method and crash when the BuildDEDXTable method is called.

Note that GetIon method is called successfully in my PrimaryGeneratorAction. So maybe I'm not calling my personnal method at the right time, here it is just after Initialisation in my main programm. I tried to move it but doesn't change anything.

Here my main program if it's help:

int main(int argc,char** argv) {

  //my Verbose output class
  G4VSteppingVerbose::SetInstance(new SteppingVerbose);

  //Construct the default run manager
  G4RunManager* runManager = new G4RunManager;

  //set mandatory initialization classes
  //
  DetectorConstruction* detector  = new DetectorConstruction();
  runManager->SetUserInitialization(detector);

  PhysicsList* physics   = new PhysicsList();
  runManager->SetUserInitialization(physics);
  PrimaryGeneratorAction* primary = new PrimaryGeneratorAction(detector);

  //Initialize Geant4 kernel
  //
  runManager->Initialize();
//???????????????????????//
  physics->MyOwnConstruction();//<- in this method is called GetIon.
