The discussion centers on identifying specific example files in Geant4 that demonstrate the particles and energies produced in a target during simulations, particularly for boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT). Users seek guidance on which Geant4 examples to utilize for tracking alpha particles generated by neutron interactions with B10 and other targets. It is recommended to explore the Geant4 example directories and source code for relevant examples, as well as to consult the paper titled "Geant4 beam model for boron neutron capture therapy: investigation of neutron dose components" for additional insights.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for researchers and practitioners in nuclear physics, medical physics, and radiation therapy, particularly those involved in BNCT and utilizing Geant4 for simulation purposes.
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?

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
Dear experts.Which example file in Geant4 can I use to find the particles and energies produced in the target?
