Version 0.3.1 is a bug fix and minor feature release of Celeritas targeted at supporting
experiment frameworks. Key enhancements are:

  • More track and step attributes can be set when calling back to Geant4 sensitive detectors.
  • Offloaded tracks can be exported as a HepMC3 event file.
  • Sensitive detectors callbacks from Celeritas can be disabled with a new macro flag.
  • Linking against Geant4 10.5 is supported.
  • A new diagnostic in celer-g4 prints step distributions from Geant4 CPU execution.

Key fixes:

  • Backward compatibility with Geant4 10.6 is restored.
  • Having multiple MSC models defined in Geant4 prints a warning instead of aborting execution.
  • Initializer capacity in celer-sim is now scaled to be per thread.
