Detailed Description

Andrea Dotti Feb 2015 GPS messenger design requires some explanation for what distributions parameters are concerned : Each thread has its own GPS since primary generation is a user action.

However to save memory the underlying structures that provide the GPS functionalities ( the G4SPS*Distribution classes and the G4SPSRandomGenerator class) are shared among threads. This implies that modifying parameters of sources requires some attention: 1- Only one thread should change source parameters. 2- Changing of parameters can happen only between runs, when is guaranteed that no thread is accessing them 2- UI commands require that even if messenger is instantiated in a thread the commands are executed in the master (this is possible since V10.1) The simplest solution is to use UI commands to change GPS parameters and avoid C++ APIs. If this is inevitable a simple solution is to instantiate an instance of G4GeneralParticleSource explicitly in the master thread (for example in G4VUserActionInitialization::BuildForMaster() and set the defaults parameter there).
