Geant4 advanced examples illustrate realistic applications of Geant4 in
typical experimental environments. Most of them also show the usage of
analysis
tools (such as histograms, ntuples and plotting), various visualization
features and advanced user interface facilities, together with the simulation
core. Note: Maintenance and updates of the code is under the responsibility
of the authors. These applications are therefore not subject to
regular system testing and no guarantee can be provided.
The advanced examples include:
air_shower,
a simulation of the ULTRA detector with Fresnel lenses for UV and charged
particles detection in cosmic rays.
brachytherapy,
illustrating a typical medical physics application simulating energy deposit
in a Phantom filled with soft tissue.
hadrontherapy,
illustrating a application simulating an hadron therapy beam line for
medical physics.
human_phantom,
implementing an Anthropomorphic Phantom body built importing the description from
a GDML representation.
medical_linac,
illustrating a typical medical physics application simulating energy deposit
in a Phantom filled with water for a typical linac used for intensity modulated
radiation therapy. The experimental set-up is very similar to one used in
clinical practice.
microbeam,
simulates the cellular irradiation beam line installed on the AIFIRA electrostatic
accelerator facility located at CENBG, Bordeaux-Gradignan, France.
purging_magnet,
illustrating an application that simulates electrons traveling through a 3D
magnetic field; used in a medical environment for simulating a strong purging
magnet in a treatment head.
radiation_monitor,
illustrating an application for the study of the effects of a chip carrier on silicon
radiation monitoring devices used in the LHC environment.
radioprotection,
illustrating an application to evaluate the dose in astronauts, in vehicle
concepts and Moon surface habitat configurations, in a defined interplanetary
space radiation environment.
gammaray_telescope,
illustrating an application to typical gamma ray telescopes with a flexible
configuration.
xray_telescope,
illustrating an application for the study of the radiation background in
a typical X-ray telescope.
xray_fluorescence,
illustrating the emission of X-ray fluorescence and PIXE.
underground_physics,
illustrating an underground detector for dark matter searches.
cosmicray_charging,
illustrating an application aimed at simulating the electrostatic charging of
isolated test masses in the LISA mission by galactic cosmic ray protons and
helium nuclei.
lAr_calorimeter,
simulating the Forward Liquid Argon Calorimeter (FCAL) of the ATLAS
Detector at LHC.
raredecay_calorimetry,
illustrating how to estimate importance of photonuclear reactions for photon inefficiency
of calorimeters and compare effectiveness of different absorbers in order to reduce it.
Rich,
simulating the TestBeam Setup of the Rich detector at the LHCb experiment,
testing the performance of the aerogel radiator
Tiara,
a simulation of the neutron shielding experiment TIARA providing a
realistic example for applying geometrical importance sampling
