Geant4 is a versatile Monte Carlo radiation transport simulation toolkit with steep learning curve. This work introduces user-code called M-TAG (Modular Radiation Teaching-Aid for Geant4), built on top of Geant4. designed to help gradually introduce the new users.The goal record quantities from simulated as it transported through geometries. simplifies inclusion geometric elements and detector ...

ID: 14824 Title: Yields of positron-emitting nuclei (10C, 11C, and 15O) induced by protons and carbon ions: a simulation study with Geant4 Yields of positron-emitting nuclei ( 10 C, 11 C, and 15 O) induced by protons and carbon ions: a simulation study with Geant4 Introduction: Beams of protons and carbon ions are used in particle therapy for conformal irradiation of a tumor while sparing surro...

A review of the strategy and the results for the physics validation of Geant4 and Fluka detector simulation engines for LHC applications is presented. The main focus is on hadronic physics, where most of the efforts are currently concentrated. In particular, comparisons between simulation and test-beam data for the most relevant calorimeter observables, for different experiments and detector te...

Ongoing investigations for the improvement of Geant4 accuracy and computational performance resulting by refactoring and reengineering parts of the code are discussed. Issues in refactoring that are specific to the domain of physics simulation are identified and their impact is elucidated. Preliminary quantitative results are reported.

Introduction: Ionizing radiation is widely used in industry and medicine; however, it causes a significant health hazard by making microscopic damage to living tissue. Various biological parameters, including cell survival fraction and relative biological effectiveness, are taken into account to assess the severity and extent of biological damages. Microdosimetry suffe...
