Patch Release 2.0.1

We are happy to announce the first patch release in the 2.0 series of Allpix Squared, version 2.0.1. This release contains 26 commits over the major version 2.0.0 and fixes a few issues found over the past weeks. The release is available as Docker image, CVMFS installation, binary tarball and source code from the repository.

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

  • Custom Electric Fields:
    • Solved a bug where custom electric fields were not scaled properly along the x/y axes
  • Module DepositionReader:
    • Monte Carlo particles can now be provided in an arbitrary sequence while maintaining valid references to parent particles
    • The python script for creating deposition input files has been updated to generate several particles per event
  • Mesh Converter:
    • The Mesh Converter now allows for defining the units of any observable to be read as a parameter as well as defining the dimensions of the observable
    • This enables a correct handling of units for doping profiles converted via this tool
  • Module CapacitiveTransfer:
    • PixelHits in pixels within the coupling matrix are now only stored if the corresponding pixel contains charge
    • Minor cleanup of the module
