Geant4 2011 Workplan
This workplan for the Low Energy EM WG has been prepared by both electromagnetic working groups.
(1) - June 2011
(2) - December 2011
[STD] - in collaboration with the Standard EM working group
(?) - manpower not yet assigned
[!] - part of the Collaboration goal
1) New Physics and additional processes
- finish new Penelope 2008 upgrade (2) (Luciano)
- finish Livermore polarized photon processes and triple conversion (2) (Francesco, Gerardo)
- full handling of fluorescence & Auger through UI commands [STD] (2) (Alfonso, Luciano, Paul, Sebastien)
- new Geant4-DNA processes (2) (Alfonso, Hoang, Mathieu, Sebastien, Ziad) [!]
---> alternative models for electrons and ions in liquid water and biological materials
---> prototype processes for water radiolysis modeling (as an advanced example)
---> associated examples for users
- new microdosimetry processes for Si (2) (Audrey, JEtienne, Melanie)
- polarized processes for electrons (2) (Paul)
2) Validation and verification of EM physics:
