Monte Carlo transport codes for use in the space radiation environment

چکیده
Geant4 [ref G1, ref G2] is a simulation toolkit written in C++ using Object-Oriented principles, and re-engineered from the Fortran-based Geant3. As of Geant 3.21, the Fortran code is officially no longer supported. Geant4 is developed and maintained by a world-wide collaboration including centers at CERN, SLAC, FNAL, KEK and others. The code is available without cost at http://geant4.cern.ch, where a source code browser can also be found.

Introduction: Arrays of segmented scintillation crystals are useful in megavoltage x-ray imaging detectors for image-guided radiotherapy. Most previous theoretical studies on these detectors have modelled only ionizing-radiation transport. Scintillation light also affects detector performance. ScintSim1, our previously reported optical Monte Carlo code for such detector...
