Advanced Examples

Purpose

The Advanced Examples illustrate realistic applications of Geant4 in typical experimental environments. They are developed in collaboration with user groups expert in the corresponding experimental domain. The code of the developed examples can be dowloaded together with the Geant4 toolkit in the directory examples/advanced.

Working plans

Working Plan 2023

  • Release of a new example showing how to import in Geant4 simulations IAEA Phase Space Files (1,2)[*]
  • Further developments of in-silico experimental microdosimetry in the Radioprotection example (1,2)
  • Improve MicroElec example to show the use of novel electron low energy cross sections for solid state materials beyond silicon (1,2)
  • Implementation of pre-clinical, mice PET images to evaluate a dose distribution for new drugs (1,2)
  • Upgrade of the medical_linac example (1,2)
  • Design of realistic phantoms of C. elegans in the stim_pixe_tomography advanced example (1,2)
  • Add a new geometry reproducing some dosimeters used in FLASH radiotherapy in the eFLASH_radiotherapy example (1,2)
  • Add new detectors, SiC and TEPC microdosimeters, in the exp_microdosimetry example (1,2)
  • Improve the Hadrontherapy example in the simulation of proton, carbon ion and helium ion beam irradiation for the calculation of track- and dose- averaged LET(1,2)
  • Maintenance of the webpage (1,2)
  • Maintenance and code review (e.g. implementation of the extended examples coding guidelines and migration to C++17) in selected examples (1,2)

Note:

  • [*] Optional, and subject to the availability of manpower
  • 1: aimed to be done in first semester
  • 2: aimed to be done in second semester
