(c) The Geant4-DNA collaboration.
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
Any report or published results obtained using the Geant4-DNA software shall
cite the following Geant4-DNA collaboration publications:
Phys. Med. 31 (2015) 861-874
Med. Phys. 37 (2010) 4692-4708
J. Appl. Phys. 122 (2017) 024303
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 microyz.in.
Livermore and Penelope physics lists can be used as well.
Tracking cut and maximum step size can be selected in the macro
file 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 in the TrackerSD class the radius
of the sphere (5 nm by default).
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.
