GEANT4 vs. Experimental Data

  • Benchmarking of monte carlo simulation of bremsstrahlung from thick targets at radiotherapy energies

B. A. Faddegon, M. Asai, J. Perl, C. Ross, J. Sempau, J. Tinslay, and F. Salvat. Med. Phys. 35 (2008) 4308 media:MedPhys.35.4308.pdf


GEANT4 Geometry

  • The example geometry is shown here:

  • GEANT4 Photon-Inelastic Model: CHIPS Gamma Nuclear has this cross section for our reaction:

  • To-do List:
  1. Reminder: We already have a group desk: /group/bubble/
  2. Use github.com to manage the simulation software.
  3. Encode the geometry in GDML, an XML based format that Geant4 reads in.
  4. Include the Bubble Chamber geometry using the Bubble Chamber STEP file (change .txt to .stp): media:BubbleChamber.txt.
  5. The beamline STEP file will be ready very soon.
  6. GEANT4 uses models that calculate wrong photo–nuclear cross sections (see above). GEANT4 does not allow for user’s cross sections. What to do?
    1. Use GEANT4 to produce the photon spectra impinging on the superheated liquid.
    2. Fold the above photon spectra with our cross sections in stand-alone codes.
