This is the latest development version of SGV -
A fast and simple program for simulating high energy physics experiments
at colliding beam detectors.
It is based on SGV2.30. This page was updated on
December 19, 2002.
The development version of SGV will regularly be linked
to this page. The only announcement of new versions is by the change of
dates mentioned. The versions put here are not as well tested as an official
release :
-
-
It is normally verified to work correctly only on GNU/Linux.
-
-
With none of the new features switched on, the results are
identical to the official version, when the test job is run
-
-
The new features are checked to be working, but the test
might not have been very profound.
-
-
The documentation has been updated for the new features,
but might need a bit of polishing. Only the printed version is available,
not the Web-pages.
-
-
Backward compatibility is not assured.
-
-
It is not guaranteed that the next official release
might not contain more new features. In any case, the official release
will be backward compatible, if it's not completely impossible to accomplish.
New features on the top of the 'to-do' list include
-
-
A new scheme for the history code. It would enable to completely
disentangle the the decay chains of all particles with no more than one
bitted word per seen particle. (Presently, only the meta-stable ancestors
of the stable particles can be identified,
not strongly or electromagnetically decayed ones.).
-
-
Implement conical detectors.
-
Sorry, but presently there is NO development version,
since the latest release was quite recently
STAY TUNED !
