Low Energy Physics Lists

Suggested Physics lists

We suggest the following Low Energy electromagnetic physics lists, implemented in Physics constructors .

These constructors are available in the $G4INSTALL/source/physics_lists/constructors/electromagnetic directory.

They can be used in any user application, see for example $G4INSTALL/examples/extended/electromagnetic/TestEm7.

Other Geant4 recommended Physics lists can be found on this page.

Combination with Standard Electromagnetic Physics models using Physics constructors

The uniform software design adopted since 2008 by both Geant4 electromagnetic physics working groups allows the combination of processes and models.

The above G4EmLivermorePhysics, G4EmLivermorePolarizedPhysics and G4EmPenelopePhysics Physics constructors combine Livermore (unpolarized or polarized models) or Penelope models with Standard Electromagnetic Physics models.

The combination of Geant4-DNA physics processes (adapted to the very low energy domain) with Geant4 Standard electromagnetic processes (adapted to the high energy domain) is shown in the dnaphysics and microdosimetry extended examples ($located in $G4INSTALL/examples/extended/medical/dna/)
