Abstract

The Geant4 collaboration regularly performs validation and regression tests. The results are stored in a central repository and can be easily accessed via a web application. In this article we describe the Geant4 physics validation repository which consists of a relational database storing experimental data and Geant4 test results, a java API and a web application. Lastly, the functionality of these components and the technology choices we made are also described

Software aspects of the Geant4 validation repository

Journal Article Dotti, Andrea ; Wenzel, Hans ; Elvira, Daniel ; ... - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

The Geant4, GeantV and GENIE collaborations regularly perform validation and regression tests for simulation results. DoSSiER (Database of Scientic Simulation and Experimental Results) is being developed as a central repository to store the simulation results as well as the experimental data used for validation. DoSSiER is easily accessible via a web application. In addition, a web service allows for programmatic access to the repository to extract records in JSON or XML exchange formats. In this article, we describe the functionality and the current status of various components of DoSSiER as well as the technology choices we made.

Report on G4-Med, a Geant4 benchmarking system for medical physics applications developed by the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group

Journal Article Arce, P. ; Bolst, D. ; Bordage, M. ‐C. ; ... - Medical Physics

Geant4 is a Monte Carlo code extensively used in medical physics for a wide range of applications, such as dosimetry, micro- and nanodosimetry, imaging, radiation protection, and nuclear medicine. Geant4 is continuously evolving, so it is crucial to have a system that benchmarks this Monte Carlo code for medical physics against reference data and to perform regression testing. In this work, to respond to these needs, we developed G4-Med, a benchmarking and regression testing system of Geant4 for medical physics. G4-Med currently includes 18 tests. They range from the benchmarking of fundamental physics quantities to the testing of Monte Carlomore »« less

Final Report on Atomic Database Project

Technical Report Yuan, J., Gui, Z., and Moses, G.A.

Atomic physics in hot dense plasmas is essential for understanding the radiative properties of plasmas either produced terrestrially such as in fusion energy research or in space such as the study of the core of the sun. Various kinds of atomic data are needed for spectrum analysis or for radiation hydrodynamics simulations. There are many atomic databases accessible publicly through the web, such as CHIANTI (an atomic database for spectroscopic diagnostics for astrophysical plasmas) from Naval Research Laboratory [1], collaborative development of TOPbase (The Opacity Project for astrophysically abundant elements) [2], NIST atomic spectra database from NIST [3], TOPS Opacitiesmore »« less

Validation of Physics Models of Geant4 using Data from CMS Experiment

Journal Article Banerjee, Sunanda - Journal of Physics. Conference Series

CMS has tuned its simulation program and has chosen a specific physics model of GEANT4 by comparing the simulation results with dedicated test beam experiments. CMS continues to validate the physics models inside GEANT4 using the test beam data as well as collision data. Several physics lists (collection of physics models) inside the most recent version of GEANT4 provide good agreement of the energy response, resolution of pions and protons. The validation results from these studies are used to make the choice of physics list and GEANT4 version for the CMS experiment.
