AI Thread Summary

Defining FLIBE as a target in Geant4 can be challenging, especially for users struggling with the complexity of the software. The TestEm11 example defaults to G4_Si, which may not be suitable for FLIBE. Users are encouraged to refer to the provided documentation on defining new materials from elemental compositions. Understanding the process of material definition is crucial for accurate simulations. Mastering these steps will enhance the effectiveness of particle transport simulations in Geant4.

I find GEANT4 really really difficult to follow, but the material seems to be set to G4_Si in TestEm11.in

That document seems to describe how to define a new material from the elements.

Thread 'Energy Spectrum Attenuation'

Hello, I'm currently trying to compare theoretical results with an MCNP simulation. I'm using two discrete sets of data, intensity (probability) and linear attenuation coefficient, both functions of energy, to produce an attenuated energy spectrum after x-rays have passed through a thin layer of lead. I've been running through the calculations and I'm getting a higher average attenuated energy (~74 keV) than initial average energy (~33 keV). My guess is I'm doing something wrong somewhere...
