2015 Workplan

This expected workplan for the Low Energy EM WG has been prepared by both electromagnetic working groups.

(1) - June 2015
(2) - December 2015
(*) limited manpower
[STD] - in collaboration with the Standard EM working group

1) Livermore models
- creation of a version of sub-cutoff processor (1) 
- migration of Livermore electron ionisation (2) (*)
- modeling of pair production in the electron field (2)
- migration of polarized gamma models to same software design as non-polarized Livermore models [STD] (*)

2) Penelope models
- update and management of physics processes (2)
- testing and validation (2)

3) Monash U. models
- G4LowEPComptonModel polarisation extension (2)
- migration of Monash U. models to standard EM interfaces and tools (2) (*)

4) Geant4-DNA models
- cross section models for other biological materials and incident particles [STD] (2) 

5) MicroElec models
- update to more easily implement different materials [STD] (2) (*)

6) Atomic deexcitation
- expansion of M protons and alpha-particle ionization cross-sections approximation up to 1.0 GeV (2)

7) Validation
