Dear PandaRoot Users,

in my simulation I found a problem with the creation of MCPoints.
I am simulating the decay ppbar ->Lambda Lambdabar -> pion_minus pion_plus proton antiproton.
Looking into the MC data I found a few cases, where a particle path crosses a sensitve material, but no MC Point was created (see pictures below).

We saw this in ~6 events.
I appeared something like in one event among 20 events and just for pions (plus and minus). The output from the simulation is (Verbose=2):

>>> Event 7

 DIGI EXECUTION *********************
-I- PndSdsDetector: 0 points registered in this event.
[INFO   ] FairPrimaryGenerator: (Event 9) 4  primary tracks from vertex (0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000 )  Event Time = 0.000000 (ns)

So nothing is reported about this point.

My system is:
openSUSE 12.2 Mantis - Kernel
external packages sep12
pandaroot rev 18841

Thanks

Simone
