Hello,
In the input file I attach, a proton is travelling through vacuum and
bends with magnetic fields. In the process of debugging it I wrote some
code to track the boundary crossings. You can find the log file also
attached. I have two questions for the mailing list:
1. Since only tracking is required in my code and no fluctuations exist
(ie pencil beam), I though that the boundary crossings of two events are
going to be *exactly* the same. As you can see from the logfile this is
not the case. What am I missing?
2.The proton is not crossing all the boundaries I was hoping to. As you
can see from the logfile there is a region succesion that is aborted at
line 265. the proton is exiting a region I was hoping to enter first.
The net result of this is that the proton is not seeing the full
magnetic length and gets a wrong direction. I checked with the geometry
and didn't find anything unusual. Is there anything else to check?
Thank you in advance,
Makis
