Geant4 - Brachytherapy example
=========================================================
README
---------------------
0. Introduction.
Brachytherapy example simulates energy deposition in a Phantom filled with
soft tissue for:
1) Ir brachytherapy source.
2) I brachytherapy source.
3) Leipzig Applicator.
1.Technical information.
The default source is an Ir source put in the center of the Phantom.
The Phantom is a box (dimension:30cm)
2.How to run the example.
- run "Brachy" executable.
- you can run the example in batch or interative mode.
Default: batch mode with 1000 events
In interative mode, you can choose:
1)Ir source:
idle>/run/beamOn NumberOfEvents and then
idle> exit
2)Leipzig Applicator:
idle>/geom/switch Leipzig
idle>/run/beamOn NumberOfEvents and then
idle> exit
3) I source:
idle>/geom/switch Iodium
idle>/run/energy Iodium
idle>/run/beamOn NumberOfEvents
idle>exit
Before the run you can also change the absorber material of the Phantom:
idle>/detecor/setMaterial name
4)simulation output: brachytherapy.hbk
It contains:
1)1Dhistogram with the primary particle energy
2)2Dhistogram with the distribution of energy in the plane (x,z,energy)
3)Ntuple with the energy deposit in the Phantom
5)the default visualization is with Dawn
A standard Geant4 example GNUmakefile is provided.
