|
||
|
||
This examples shows how to compute microdosimetry
|
||
distributions y, z in liquid water using exclusively Geant4-DNA
|
||
physics processes and models.
|
||
|
||
This example is provided by the Geant4-DNA collaboration.
|
||
|
||
These processes and models are further described at:
|
||
http://geant4-dna.org
|
||
and in
|
||
J. Appl. Phys. 122 (2017) 024303
|
||
|
||
Any report or published results obtained using the Geant4-DNA software shall
|
||
cite the following Geant4-DNA collaboration publications:

||

|
||
|
||
1) Geometry
|
||
A box of liquid water.
|
||
|
||
2) Incident particles
|
||
Particles can be selected from the mycroyz.in macro
|
||
as well as their incident energy.
|
||
They are shot from the center of the box.
|
||
|
||
3) Physics
|
||
The default Geant4-DNA physics constructor 2 is used in
|
||
the PhysicsList class. Alternative constructor can be
|
||
selected from the macro file microyz.in.
|
||
|
||
Livermore and Penelope physics lists can be used as well.
|
||
|
||
Tracking cut and maximum step size can be selected in microyz.in
|
||
|
||
4) Scoring of enery deposition
|
||
Energy depositions are scored in spheres randomly
|
||
placed along the incident particle track,
|
||
using a weighted sampling.
|
||
|
||
The user can select the radius of the sphere in microyz.in using the command:
|
||
/microyz/det/Radius X unit
|
||
where X is the radius value and unit is specified.
|
||
|
||
5) The code can be run using:
|
||
./microyz microyz.in
|
||
|
||
6) Results can be analyzed after the run using:
|
||
root plot.C
|
||
|
||
The distribution of y is shown by default.
|
||
|
||
The following quantities are calculated: yF and yD.
