Undergrad Can Geant4 Simulate Alpha Particles in a Bragg Chamber?

Click For Summary
Geant4 is identified as a potential software for simulating alpha particles in a Bragg chamber filled with Argon and CH4. While it can effectively model the situation, users note that it has a steep learning curve. The availability of examples is limited compared to the range of applications, which may complicate the learning process. Users seeking alternatives may consider other simulation tools, but Geant4 remains a strong option. Mastering Geant4 could provide valuable insights for analyzing data from the Bragg chamber.

TL;DR
Programs for simulation of a Bragg chamber
Me and my colleagues need to analyse data from a Bragg chamber. We have sources of Cm244, Am241, Np237 sending alpha particles in the chamber which is fill with Argon and CH4 at 1%.
Is there any software that can simulate di situation ?
I downloaded SRIM but i’m not sure it is the best one for our pourposes.
Thank you

Geant.

However, it is not trivial to learn. There are examples, but the number of applications vastly exceeds the number of examples.
