Modeling Radiation Chemistry in the Geant4 Toolkit

beams: a study with the GEANT4 toolkit

We study the spatial distributions of β-activity produced by therapeutic beams of He and C ions in various tissue-like materials. The calculations were performed within a Monte Carlo model for Heavy-Ion Therapy (MCHIT) based on the GEANT4 toolkit. The contributions from positronemitting nuclei with T1/2 > 10 s, namely 10,11C, N, 14,15O, 17,18F and P, were calculated and compared with experiment...

Introduction to the geant4 simulation toolkit

Geant4 is a Monte Carlo simulation Toolkit, describing the interactions of particles with matter. Geant4 is widely used in radiation physics research, from High Energy Physics, to medical physics and space science, thanks to its sophisticated physics component, coupled with advanced functionality in geometry description. Geant4 is widely used at the Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (CMRP), ...

The Geant4 Object Oriented Simulation Toolkit

Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter, developed with advanced software engineering techniques. Its application areas include high energy and nuclear physics experiments, space physics, medical physics and radiation background studies.
