Add shielding class for NEW #192

Closed paolafer closed 1 year ago

paolafer commented 1 year ago

Since tag v6_03_00, the geometry of the lead castle at LSC (the Next100Shielding class) has changed quite a lot, after a thorough review and it has also been adapted to the NEXT-100 geometry. As a consequence, it cannot be used as it is in NEXT-White. In this PR we add a new class for shielding, to be used only with NEXT-White, importing the Next100Shielding class from tag v6_02_00 and adapting it to the current nexus code. Of course, this means that the latest additions to the castle geometry are not present when using NEW.

For reference, these plots show a proxy[^1] the position of the SiPMs in the current master and with the changes implemented by this PR.
