Patch Release 1.3.4

This is yet another patch release for the 1.3 series of Allpix Squared, version 1.3.4. It contains 18 additional commits over 1.3.3 with a few fixes and improvements. The release is available from the repository as of now.

The following issues have been resolved and improvements have been made:

  • Core:
    • The offset to electric fields is now applied in positive direction instead of negative. This solves a problem with the calculation of the field on the very first pixel column and row. For more information, see the merge request.
    • The SensorCharge Object was lacking the implementation of the getGlobalPosition() member which has been added now.
  • Module: ProjectionPropagation: Similar to GenericPropagation, the total time for evaluating charge positions can now be limited using the integration_time parameter. The total drift time for all charge carriers is histogrammed for reference if output_plots = true is set.
  • Module: ElectricFieldReader: The module throws an error in case negative offsets for the field are used.
  • Module: VisualizationGeant4: The display limit for Geant4 rendering objects can now be configured via the display_limit parameter. The default changed from previously 500k to one million objects now.
  • Manual: Added additional DOIs for several references.
