I can successfully store the physics tables (all I see when doin that is messages of the type "Success to store the PhysicsTables in physicsTables" but I fail to retrieve them. First problem: when trying to retrieve them without increasing the verbosity, there is no report like "CheckForRetrievePhysicsTable failed"; G4 simply rebuilds everything. This is *very* confusing. Second problem: after increasing the verbosity to 3 (having looked at the relevant G4 code) I get some information concerning the failure: G4VUserPhysicsList::SetParticleCuts Retrieve Cut Values for G4ProductionCutsTable::CheckMaterialInfo Bad data format G4VUserPhysicsList::BuildPhysicsTable Retrieve Physics Table for gamma CheckForRetrievePhysicsTable failed G4VUserPhysicsList::BuildPhysicsTable for gamma OR a message complaining about the name of a material. Since G4 successfully wrote these files, how can it be that it fails to read them back? This is important for us, given that we are doing very intensive debugging for our data challenge preproduction and are suffering by the rather long physics initialization time.
The material name with space can not be retreived in ascii mode because space is recognized as a separator betwenn name and density for version 5.2. Material name with space can be used in binary mode. Problems in binary mode are under investigation.
The material name with space can not be retreived only in binary mode because space is recognized as a separator betwenn name and density in ascii mode. These problems will be fixed later version.
The material name and/or region name with space can not be retreived in ascii mode because space is recognized as a separator. Binary mode (default mode) is recommeded to be used for Storing/Retrieving Physics Table. Ascii mode is provided only for debugging.
