this error happens when running an hadrontherapy revised example using geant4 9.4b01. the program bombs after a successful run of about 700 events in a subdetector which material is : //Cristallino (Materiale) G4Material* CristallinoMat = new G4Material("CristallinoMat", density= 1.067*g/cm3, nel=2); CristallinoMat->AddMaterial(H2O, 60*perCent); CristallinoMat->AddMaterial(Proteine, 40*perCent); //Proteine G4Material* Proteine = new G4Material("Proteine", density=1*g/cm3, nel=5); Proteine->AddElement(H, 50*perCent); Proteine->AddElement(C, 28*perCent); Proteine->AddElement(O, 13*perCent); Proteine->AddElement(N, 8*perCent); Proteine->AddElement(S, 1*perCent); the same happened for another material: //Retina (Materiale) G4Material* RetinaMat = new G4Material("RetinaMat", density= 1.0174*g/cm3, nel=4); RetinaMat->AddMaterial(H2O, 80*perCent); RetinaMat->AddMaterial(NAA, 10*perCent); RetinaMat->AddMaterial(Cho, 5*perCent); RetinaMat->AddMaterial(Creatina, 5*perCent); where: //Colina G4Material* Cho = new G4Material("Colina", density=1*g/cm3, nel=4); Cho->AddElement(H, natoms=14); Cho->AddElement(C, natoms=5); Cho->AddElement(O, natoms=1); Cho->AddElement(N, natoms=1); //Creatina G4Material* Creatina = new G4Material("Creatina", density=1*g/cm3, nel=4); Creatina->AddElement(H, natoms=9); Creatina->AddElement(C, natoms=4); Creatina->AddElement(O, natoms=2); Creatina->AddElement(N, natoms=3); G4Fragment::CalculateExcitationEnergy(): Excitation Energy = -17.977786 MeV for A = 2 and Z= 2 In src/G4Fragment.cc, line 234: ===> G4Fragment::G4Fragment Excitation Energy < 0.0!

Can you please try to run your application on the final release 9.4 and see if the problem still persists ?
Hi, I have installed g4 9.4 on my Mac and my job runs successfully. Apparently the problem has gone. Adele
