Particles generated at / past ID-Calo boundary are not affected by ATLAS magnetic field in transport #18

Open jbeirer opened 4 months ago

jbeirer commented 4 months ago

The pull request https://github.com/jbeirer/FastCaloSim/pull/17 introduced the ATLAS magnetic field. It was necessary to introduce a small_move_to_ID method for the IDCaloBoundary that shifts the position (by a very small amount) into the ID. If this is not done, particles seem to remain unaffacted by the magnetic field. This needs to be discussed with Geant4 experts.
