Work Plan for 2026

Novice & Extended Examples Working Group

Version 1.0

New examples:
- New example demonstrating Julia bindings
- New gflash example for sampling calorimeter
- New example with ion Geant4-DNA XS
Existing examples improvements:
- Parameterisation:
  - gflasha: Add flexibility for changing geometry between runs
- Medical/dna:
  - icsd
    - manage different geometries (shape, dimensions, materials) because propane cross sections are expected
  - microtrack
    - Incorporation of the calculation of (weighted) energy imparted to the site per proton collision. This is needed to get a quantity named delta_2, which Kellerer’s theory uses to connect dose-mean lineal energy with dose-averaged LET.
    - Improvement of post-processing ROOT script.
  - molcounters:
    - Improve G4MoleculeCounterManagerMessenger utility
    - Improve molcounters example visualization and use through parameter file
  - neuron
    - To continue studies of DNA damage using intermediate-Z ions (He, Li, N, Ne) and validation of the new detailed chromatin/chromosome geometries. (1)/(2)
  - scavenger
    - Update the example for different time-step models (IRT-syn, SBS)
  - wholeNuclearDNA
    - Code refactoring
  - UHDR
    - Update the example for multipe pulse, benchmarking
Common tasks:
- Coding guidelines:
  - Review the status and open a GitLab issue with the violations
- Existing examples maintenance
