Meeting 2015 10 16

Objectives Proposed during last meeting

  1. (DONE) Finish all calculations internally in Geant4. * RHS calculations. See last commits by Lucio. * Error calculations. See my last commit.
    The errors are calculated 100% internally and in the numerically correct way (in the r_error case) also are not varying with epsilon. Actually, they vary very slightly and they become larger when we decrease epsilon.
  2. (DONE partially) Run again all experiments (in Geant4 with the new internal calculations, and in QSS instead of PD)
  3. (DONE) Add boundaries to the QSS solver.
  4. (DONE partially: missing error calculation) In parallel to solving the epsilon mistery try running an experiment with a stand-alone implementation of RungeKutta 4/5. Proposal: do this using the QSS Solver!
  5. Keep in mind the relation between epsilon and deltaInt in each of the experiments (more of a reminder than a task).

  • All measured times correspond to executions (both of G4 or PD) which don't produce output at all (or produce a minimum logging).
  • MSE is the Mean Squared Error of the position
  • MSE = 1/N * sum_{i=1}^{N} (G4x_i - ANx_i)^2 + (G4y_i - ANy_i)^2
  • N = Number of output points
  • r_RMSE = sqrt(MSE)
  • max(X_Error) is the maximum of all the absolute errors in x, i.e. max(abs(G4x_i - ANx_i))
  • circle_RMSE is the RMSE of the accumulated distances from the simulated position to the analytical circle.
  • circle_RMSE = sqrt(1/N * sum_{i=1}^{N} circleError_i^2)
  • circleError_i = |sqrt(G4x_i^2 + (G4y_i + 38.0854)^2) - 38.0854|

Experiment 1.1 - Vary epsilon in G4 & Calculate errors inside G4

epsilonMax = epsilonMin = epsilon
The errors still show an unusual behavior. They don't vary, or even grow, when making epsilon smaller. This is counterintuitive. Also, the circle_RMSE doesn't vary much with distance whereas the other errors do, showing the movement is stable around the circle, but the error comes from a "time phase" which seems to increase over time.
