Geant4 Basic Examples

The set of basic examples is oriented to "novice" users and covering many basic general use-cases typical of an "application"-oriented kind of development.

• Example B1
  • Simple geometry with a few solids
  • Geometry with simple placements (G4PVPlacement)
  • Scoring total dose in a selected volume user action classes
  • Geant4 physics list (QGSP_BIC_EMY)

• Example B2
  • Simplified tracker geometry with global constant magnetic field
  • Geometry with simple placements (G4PVPlacement) and parameterisation (G4PVParameterisation)
  • Scoring within tracker via G4 sensitive detector and hits
  • Geant4 physics list (FTFP_BERT) with step limiter
  • Started from novice/N02 example

• Example B3
  • Schematic Positron Emitted Tomography system
  • Geometry with simple placements with rotation (G4PVPlacement)
  • Radioactive source
  • Scoring within Crystals via G4 scorers
  • Modular physics list built via builders provided in Geant4

• Example B4
  • Simplified calorimeter with layers of two materials
  • Geometry with replica (G4PVReplica)
  • Scoring within layers in four ways: via user actions (a), via user own object (b), via G4 sensitive detector and hits (c) and via scorers (d)
  • Geant4 physics list (FTFP_BERT)
  • Started from novice/N03 example
