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. 54 -35.31 -53.11 658.5 0.007189 0.000769 0.634 231 CMSE msc 55 -37.16 -56.38 671.3 0.007163 0.0261 135 245 CMSE msc 56 -37.68 -57.75 674.1 0.007159 0.00403 31.9 248 CMSE Transportation %MSG-w SimG4CoreApplication: OscarMTProducer:g4SimHits 26-Aug-2019 17:00:17 CEST Run: 1 Event: 19 SimG4Exception caght! -------- EEEE ------- G4Exception-START -------- EEEE ------- *** G4Exception : GeomNav0003 issued by : G4Navigator::ComputeStep() Stuck Track: potential geometry or navigation problem.
