EM Physics
- Fermilab
Geant4 provides a comprehensive set of electromagnetic (EM) processes and models for electron/positron, gamma and long-lived charged particles, spanning energies from 100 eV to 100 TeV. Covering diverse energy regions often requires multiple models, which can be constructed using pre-packaged or user-defined EM physics constructors. Geant4 also supports detailed low-energy EM physics through models like Livermore, Penelope, and ICRU73, offering extensive data for elements across a wide energy range (250 eV–100 GeV). Application domains include space, medical, and radiobiology simulations. Additionally, Geant4 provides robust options for simulating complex optical photon production and transportation processes, enhancing its versatility in physics research and applications.
