List with description

Items marked with  refer to new developments.
Items marked with  will involve new man-power or contribution from external sources interested in the project.
Items marked with  will require coordination with more than one Working Group.

1. Navigation & optimisation:
   • Separate safety computation and its state from navigator
     • Loose coupling of G4Navigator in the computation of the safety distances from geometrical boundaries, factorising out the implementation now included in G4Navigator class, to get rid of potential side effects.
   • Investigate simplification of touchable implementation
     • Review implementation of touchables for possible optimisation: removal of unused concrete specialisations

       and inheritance layer.​​​

2. Field transport:
   • Addition of QSS integration methods (Quantized State Simulation)
     • Alternative integration method which creates adapted polynomials and evaluates the limit of their validity.
   • ​Review accuracy of boundary crossing in field
     • ​Study boundary crossing accuracy when field integration is enabled, reviewing behavior when using current default parameters in typical geometry setups.
3. Solids modelling:
   • Complete prototype of surface bounded volumes in VecGeom  

     • Complete demonstrator with support for all implemented solids in VecGeom, targeting a geometry setup of relative complexity based on a data model for bounded surface description of solids and compare performance/efficiency on accelerators vs. existing implementation in VecGeom.
