PHYSICS PROCESSES AND PHYSICS MODELS IMPLEMENTATION
|
||||
===================================================
|
||||
|
||||
Physics models in 'hadrontherapy', following the Geant4 organization, can be defined using four different approaches:
|
||||
Using the builder concepts of Geant4 we assembled (and tested) two different
|
||||
Physics Lists that are particuilarly suited for Hadronterapy applications:
|
||||
|
||||
Particular care is addressed to the simulation of the physics processes.
|
||||
Three different approaches can be used for the choose of the physic models.
|
||||
'HADRONTHERAPY_1' is more suited for protons only
|
||||
'HADRONTHERAPY_2' is suggested for better precision with ions
|
||||
|
||||
Approach 1:
|
||||
Using the macro command:
|
||||
/physic/addPhysics/<physics List name>.
|
||||
NOTE: to activate the "_HP" physics you have to set the G4PARTICLEHPDATA environment
|
||||
variable pointing to the external dataset named "G4TENDL".
|
||||
|
||||
In this case, the models (for electromagnetic, hadronic elastic and hadronic inelastic) can be
|
||||
activated directly calling the name of the Physics Lists that are available inside the
|
||||
Geant4 kernel in the directory:
|
||||
The Reference physics lists (already present in the Geant4 kernel) can
|
||||
be used as well. In this case the more suitable "Reference physics lists" are:
|
||||
"QBBC", "QGSP_BIC", "Shielding", "QGSP_BERT",
|
||||
"QGSP_BIC_AllHP" and "QGSP_BIC_HP"
|
||||
|
||||
$G4INSTALL/source/physics_lists/builders/include
|
||||
|
||||
An example of the use of the Physics List can be found in the macro files:
|
||||
default_macro.mac and carbon_beamline.mac
|
||||
|
||||
Approach 2:
|
||||
|
||||
A set of built-in physic lists are also defined and included in the class HadrontherapyPhisicsList.cc and can be activated by macro command:
|
||||
|
||||
/physic/addPhysics/<name>.
|
||||
|
||||
Two different physics lists can be selected using this approach:
|
||||
- HADRONTHERAPY_1: include HP hadronic physics models
|
||||
- HADRONTHERAPY_2: HP physics models are switched off
|
||||
|
||||
Approach 3:
|
||||
We developed this approach in order to simplify the choice of the physic models to
|
||||
be used in the application.
|
||||
With this approach the user must only insert a command line in his/her .mac file using the: /physics/addPackage <PACKAGE_NAME>
|
||||
This permits to switch-on an already built physics package.
|
||||
Various packages are already present in the Geant4 tree: they are in the directory: geant4/source/physics_lists/lists/include
|
||||
|
||||
Approach 4:
|
||||
Directly call a reference physics list by setting the variable PHYSLIST. Ex.:
|
||||
export PHYSLIST=QGSP_BIC_EMY
|
||||
and the export QGSP_BIC_EMY reference physics list will be setted
|
||||
All the lists can be activated inside any macro file using the command:
|
||||
/Physics/addPhysics
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of usage are:
|
||||
/Physics/addPhysics HADRONTHERAPY_1 or /Physics/addPhysics QGSP_BIC_HP
