Introduction
The dnaphysics example is a simple application that simulates the track of a
1 keV electrons particle in
liquid water using very low energy electromagnetic
Geant4 DNA processes. These processes are defined (for now) in liquid water only. See details about the
Geant4-DNA project at:
this link
Simulated experimental setup
The electron beam is at the centre of a liquid water box, made of G4_WATER material.
Physics
The
PhysicsList.cc file explains easily how to use the
G4EmDNAPhysics physics builder.
How to install and run the example
Please, look at the
README file provided with the example.
Simulation results
The output results consists in a ROOT file (
http://root.cern.ch
), containing an ntuple with:
- the type of particle at each simulation step
- the type of process at each step
- the track position at each step (in nanometers)
- the energy deposit at each step (in eV)
This file can be easily analyzed using the provided ROOT macro file plot.C. The macro gives the following graphical output:
The naming scheme of particles and processes used is described in SteppingAction.cc.
