Combination of electromagnetic physics processes for microdosimetry in liquid water with the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit
Résumé
The Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit provides a set of electromagnetic physics processes adapted to the detailed simulation of particle interactions in liquid water for microdosimetry applications, such as single-cell irradiation with light ion beams. These processes, developed within the framework of the Geant4-DNA project, adopt a software design allowing their combination with other electromagnetic physics processes available in the Geant4 toolkit. This work describes the combination of Geant4-DNA electron processes with Geant4 photon processes.
