General description

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

How to activate chemistry code. How to set minimum time step limits using TimeStepAction.

GEOMETRY DEFINITION

It is a simple sphere which represents a 'semi infinite' homogeneous medium.

Two parameters define the geometry :

  • the material of the sphere,
  • the full size of the sphere.

The default geometry is constructed in DetectorConstruction class.

PHYSICS LIST

The physics list is initialized in G4EmDNAChemistry, together with chemical stage models configuration.

AN EVENT: THE PRIMARY GENERATOR

The primary kinematic consists of a single particle starting at the center of the sphere. The type of the particle and its energy are set in the PrimaryGeneratorAction class, and can be changed via the G4 build-in commands of G4ParticleGun class. The chemistry module is triggered in the StackingAction class when all physical tracks have been processed.

HOW TO START ?

Run the example from this directory. The user interface will be launched. Continue using /run/beamOn 1 command.

OUTPUT <br>

Physics initialization and the defined reaction table are printed. G4ITStepManager processes the chemical stage time step after time step. Chemical reactions are printed. In the GUI window a cummulative trajectory of the chemical species is drawn.

TIME EVOLUTION VISUALIZATION

User can start a visualization of the chemical track evolution in time and space using /control/execute movie.mac. Note, that in default setup the simulation requires machine with 6 GB of RAM. To lower memory requirements, either decrease energy of the incident electron in prep.mac or/and shorten the simulation using SetEndTime setting in src/ActionInitialization.cc.
