In the G4RadioactiveDecay::BuildPhysicsTable implementation, I would replace the following line: if(G4Threading::IsMasterThread()) { StreamInfo(G4cout, "\n"); } with if(G4Threading::IsMasterThread() && GetVerboseLevel() > 0) { StreamInfo(G4Cout, "\n"); } Otherwise, there's no way to suppress the corresponding screen output
I do not think that it is a good idea to remove the printing of basic info of the radioactive decay model. The stream info informs the user on the parameters that are used in the radioactive decay model. I believe that this information should be always printed. Best regards

I'm just saying it should follow the usual printing rules represented by verbosity levels. The user should have the possibility to suppress the message, if he needs so (for example if he wants to print the same information in a different way). In my case, for example, I'm developing a tool that has its own output structure, and I don't want Geant4 to interfere into this. This is not removing a feature, it's just fixing a bug! Best, Luigi
Hello Laurent, Dennis
Hello, Dennis, Laurent, in EM and in de-excitation module we use approach: verbosity=1 is the default and print basic information, verbosity=0 means silence. Higher verbosity level means different level of debugging debugging. I do not think we should use different approach in Radioactive decay and in other places. Cheers, Vladimir
The verbosity levels in this model are now set consistently in the code and conform to those in G4PhotonEvaporation.
Hello, I think there is still something wrong (version 11.0.2). I'm setting all possible verbosity levels to 0 in my application but the output of G4RadioactiveDecay::StreamInfo() is still there. I tried manually setting G4HadronicParameters::Instance()->SetVerboseLevel(0) in my physics list, at ::ConstructProcesses(), but the setting seems to have no effect. Luigi
