New meeting and action list

Hello everyone,

We promised another meeting last year but due to several reasons we did not do it. For the next ones I will follow Federico's suggestion and book them in advance for the whole year so that we will be forced to keep up.

OK, now a reminder for the action list from the last meeting: http://indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?resId=minutes&materialId=minutes&confId=41169

1. Try to figure out the timeline/responsible for re-writing EUSTEP and possibly come-up with more development requirements (Mohammad).
   - status ?
   
2. Notify M.Maire about the issue (un-physical peaks in GEANE low momentum spectra) so that it can be replaced in the GEANE release. (Rene) Apply patch from Alessandra to ERTRCH
   - I know there was a discussion with M.Maire who agreed with the results
   of Alessandra and basically said that the ball is on our side. Any news if the patch was applied ?
3. The idea was to remove assembly volumes from the tree path (Ivana had to supply an example to Mohammad.
   - status ?
   Another issue here was the report of Mohammad that assemblies do appear sometime as current volume in tracking (which should never happen).
   - I did a recent development that fixed a related issue for divided
   volumes (using the same method to propagate). I suggest to Mohammad to try again and report back. Anyway I cannot test without a simple example.
4. Implement the possibility to configure not having G3 defaults so the user can use DefineParticle()/SetDecayMode() for defining his own.
   - I admit I did not look yet into this. Ivana, is it better on your side
   ? It is something simple to do but we should actually do it.
5. Report from Mohammad that reflections are not handled correctly via G4root interface.
   - I checked with the example provided with G4root in test directory
   (propagation of optical photons in a water tank with bubbles - N06). Reflections *are* taken into account. No example provided yet by Mohammad...
6. A particle may end-up outside the setup giving the error message: "No physical volume found at track vertex: (107635,-190901,-638802)"
   - I have fixed this and to my knowledge does not happen again.
   
7. "Proposed step is 0" issue in FLUKA-VMC.
   - I have fixed this in TFluka thanks to the fact that I have got the
   FLUKA source from Alfredo Ferrari.

To do's:
Responsibles for the items not yet solved, please let me know the status. For everybody: I will try to book the next meeting at the very beginning of February and after every 2 months after - let me know if you are happy with this. Any new items to add to the agenda are welcome.

Best regards,
