Overview of Geant4 Physics
- Fermilab
Geant4 is a powerful toolkit for simulating particle interactions across a wide energy range (0 to ~TeV). It offers comprehensive physics processes for various particle types, allowing users to define custom processes using the G4VProcess interface. Major categories include electromagnetic, hadronic, decay, parameterized processes, and transportation. A critical feature is the PhysicsList, which specifies particles and processes for simulations. Users can choose between G4VUserPhysicsList for simpler environments or G4VModularPhysicsList for more complex scenarios, leveraging pre-defined or custom G4VPhysicsConstructors. Additionally, Geant4 provides reference physics lists and the G4PhysicsListFactory for well-established applications, facilitating simulation development in diverse domains.
