24.11

Release after first round of breaking changes. Requires CVMFS release ≥ 24.10.
Tagged for launch of background simulations.

Added

• EventCalc LLP event generator
  This modification introduces a first implementation of the EventCalc decay
  event sampler in FairShip for inclusive final states. For further details,
  consult the dedicated presentation at the 30th SHiP CM
  here. See also #528.
• Add a conversion script FairShip/macro/convertEvtCalc.py to convert the
  EventCalc output sampled kinematics (.dat) as input to the simulation script
  (.root). Remark: This will eventually become unnecessary when this
  conversion is implemented within the EventCalc tool itself.

Fixed

• Fix missing includes in ecalMatch and ecalReco
• Fix compilation warnings due to unused or uninitiliazed variables #481

Changed

• shipStrawTracking: Move to argparse
• CMake: Use external genfit2
• shipStrawTracking, shipDigiReco, shipVertex: Make compatible with current genfit

Removed

• Remove obsolete renaming scripts
• Remove online, please see charmdet and muflux branches for respective versions
• Remove charmdet, please see charmdet branch for latest version
• Remove preshower and CaloDesign 1 (TP+Preshower)
• Remove bundled genfit
• Remove conditions DB, will almost certainly look different, copy in git
  history for reference

This release contains all modifications up to September 17th.
The master branch will continue with updates to the target geometry, non-uniform magnetic fields in the muonshield.

Short Muon Shield, pyramidal frustum

Start of optimization with short muon shield, pyramidal frustum shape for Hidden Particle Detector. Tau-neutrino detector slightly too wide.

Tag version 1.10.
