Geant4 2010 Workplan

This workplan for the LowE EM WG has been prepared by both electromagnetic working groups.

(1) is for June 2010

(2) is for December 2010

1. Physics

• Penelope 2008
  • (1) photon processes : Gamma Conversion, Rayleigh Scattering and PhotoElectric Effect
  • (2) e+/- processes
• pair production in the electron electric field (2)
• radiative correction for pair production in the nuclear field (2)
• reimplementation of anti-proton model of ionisation (2) (+Std EM)
• feasibility study to improve low-energy parameterizations for bremsstrahlung (2) (+Std EM)
• validation effort allowing comparison of models between Low Energy and Standard EM (2) (+Std EM)
• web interface for validation (after publication of results) (2) (+Std EM)
• review of atomic shell energies (2) (+Std EM)

2. Software architecture

• general code review (2)
