This examples shows how to compute microdosimetry distributions y, z in liquid water using exclusively Geant4-DNA physics processes and models.
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 J. Appl. Phys. 122 (2017) 024303
A box of liquid water.
Particles can be selected from the mycroyz.in macro as well as their incident energy. They are shot from the center of the box.
The default Geant4-DNA physics constructor 2 is used in the PhysicsList class. Alternative constructor can be selected from microyz.in
Energy depositions are scored in spheres randomly placed along the incident particle track, using a weighted sampling.
The user can select in the TrackerSD class the radius of the sphere (5 nm by default)
The code can be run using:
./microyz microyz.in
Results can be analyzed after the run using:
root plot.C
The distribution of y is shown by default.
The following quantities are calculated: yF and yD.
