Description
The analysis category was introduced in Geant4 almost ten years ago (in 2014) with the aim to provide users with a lightweight analysis tool, available as part of the Geant4 installation without the need to link to an external analysis package. It helps capture statistical data in the form of histograms and n-tuples and store these in files in four various formats. It was already presented at CHEP multiple times, the last time five years ago. In this presentation we will give an update on its evolution since then.
We will present the major redesign in the past two years that allowed introducing a new Generic analysis manager. In particular, we will discuss the advantages of our design choice based on the so- called Non Virtual Interface pattern: the code robustness and stability in the context of the code evolution over almost ten years.
We will also report on new functionalities: a new factory class, Generic analysis manager, that provides more flexibility in the selection of the output file type, saving data in multiple formats from the same simulation run, then on the connection of the analysis to visualization or new support for data object cycles in the upcoming version Geant4 11.1. Finally, we will present the continuous code improvements using static code analysis and sanitizer tools.
