Product Cross Section For Zn66 in Geant4

Dear experts, I want to calculate the cross section (Product Crosssection) of the Ga66 element produced by sending deuteron to the Zn 66 element, which is my target in Geant 4.Is there a Geant4 sample file where I can do this calculation, so in which sample file can I calculate it? Do I need to make changes in the source files with C++ coding?

Hello,

Thank you for your question. In order to calculate the product cross section for Zn66 in Geant4, you will need to use the appropriate cross section data and implement it in your simulation code.

There are a few different ways you can approach this calculation, depending on your specific needs and the level of detail you require. One option is to use the G4NucleiProperties class, which provides access to various nuclear properties including cross sections. You can also use the G4HadronInelasticProcess class to calculate the cross sections for inelastic processes involving Zn66.

As for sample files, there are several Geant4 examples that involve calculating cross sections, such as "hadronElastic" and "hadronInelastic". These can serve as a starting point for your calculation and can be found in the examples/basic/ directory of your Geant4 installation.

In terms of coding, you may need to make some changes to the source files in order to properly implement the cross section calculation. This will depend on your specific simulation and how you choose to incorporate the cross section data. We recommend consulting the Geant4 user documentation for more information on how to implement cross sections in your simulation.

We hope this helps and wish you success in your calculations.
