Object oriented design and implementation of an intra-nuclear transport model
The Hadron Kinetic Model is part of the Geant4 Toolkit; it covers the simulation of hadronic interactions in the intermediate energy range. Its role in the context of Geant4 hadronic models is outlined with emphasis on the physics content, and its Object Oriented design is illustrated.
متن کاملMonte Carlo transport codes for use in the space radiation environment
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, ...
متن کاملA General-purpose Dosimetric System for Brachytherapy
A general-purpose, object oriented software system has been developed for the simulation and dosimetric analysis of brachytherapy applications. The flexible object-oriented design makes this system very versatile, offering the possibility to configure it for different types of brachytherapy techniques (such as I-125 or Ir-192, for instance). The dosimetric system is based on the Geant4 Simulati...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Interface for Using EGS4 Physics Processes in Geant4
As simulation system, the variety of physics processes implemented is one of the most important functionalities. In that sense, Geant4 is one of the most powerful simulation toolkit s. Its flexibility and expansibility brought by object-oriented approach make it possible for us to easily assimilate external simulation packages into the Geant4 system as modules of physics processes. We developed...
متن کاملObject Oriented Design of Anthropomorphic Phantoms and Geant4-based Implementations
Various models of anthropomorphic phantoms have been developed in the past decades for usage in Monte Carlo simulation for radiation protection and other medical physics applications; they adopt two alternative approaches, either modelling the body components through analytical geometrical representations or through voxelized geometries. An original system has been developed associated with the...
