Description Vladimir.Ivantchenko 2019-08-27 10:59:32 CEST
Dear geometry experts,

in CMS simulation with Physics List FTFP_BERT_EMY we have regular problem, which stops tracking and enable abort of CMS run. This problem is not seen with our default Physics List. This happens since Geant4 10.5 but a particular event happens with Geant4 10.5ref07:

e+ with energy about 7 MeV stack on a border of the main envelop of the CMS geometry.

Stuck Track: potential geometry or navigation problem.
  Track stuck, not moving for 25 steps.

  Likely geometry overlap - else navigation problem !
 Track *abandoned* due to excessive number of Zero steps. Event aborted.

cms2018 geometry is used. No overlap in OCMS( world) and CMSE (main envelop) are detected.

We are using VecGeom version 1.1.2

As the problem does not affect vanilla Geant4 solids, please, transfer this ticket to the VecGeom JIRA system: https://sft.its.cern.ch/jira/projects/VECGEOM
Comment 3 Vladimir.Ivantchenko 2019-08-27 12:20:40 CEST
VECGEOM-537 JIRA ticket is created. This problem will be closed.
