- Produced particles and energies in the target Geant4
Dear experts.Which example file in Geant4 can I use to find the particles and energies produced in the target?
For example, when I send to B10 neutron, I want to find the number and energy of alpha particles produced in the target.Vanadium 50 said:What target? And what examples? The ones included with the toolkit have descriptions.
I want to do a bnct therapy example. Is there an example in geant4 about this? What I need is an example that shows the number and energy of new particles created in any target when I send a proton or any particle to any target.Vanadium 50 said:What example are you talking about?
One may wish to contact the author of this paper, Geant4 beam model for boron neutron capture therapy: investigation of neutron dose componentsemilmammadzada said:I want to do a bnct therapy example.

In your step function, you can interrogate the step object what process happened, and if it is of interest you can get further information. Please see this topic in Geant4 forums for further detailsemilmammadzada said:TL;DR Summary: Produced particles and energies in the target Geant4

Geant4 is a software toolkit used for simulating the passage of particles through matter. It is commonly used in high energy physics experiments to study the interactions of particles with matter and to predict the behavior of particles in different materials.
Particles are produced in Geant4 simulations through a process called particle generation. This involves specifying the type of particle, its energy, and direction of travel within the simulation. Geant4 then simulates the particle's interactions with the materials in its path, producing secondary particles as needed.
Yes, Geant4 has the ability to simulate particles with a wide range of energies, from low energy particles to those with energies in the TeV range. This allows for the study of different types of interactions and behaviors of particles at different energy levels.
Geant4 uses a process called energy deposition to track the energy lost by particles as they interact with the target material. This energy is then used to create secondary particles or to produce observable effects such as scintillation or ionization.
The accuracy of particle energies in Geant4 simulations is affected by a number of factors, including the precision of the physics models used, the complexity of the geometry and materials in the simulation, and the accuracy of the input parameters used to define the particles and their interactions.
