Work Plan for 2025

Version 1.0

  • New examples:

    • New example demonstrating Julia bindings
    • Start work on new medical example on laser-plasma topic

  • Existing examples improvements:

    • Biasing:
      • Investigate the possibility of adding histograms in GBXX examples
      • Resolve the overlap between generic biaising and geometrical biasing
      • Illustrate options that may be developed this year (charged particles biasing, DXTRAN)
    • Parameterisation:
      • Finish gflashb
      • Extension of the Par04 extended example with the new machine learning model, CaloDiT, a pre-trained generalised model
    • RunAndEvent:
      • Enhance examples for sub-event parallelism and improve drawing of scores
    • Visualization:
      • General oversight of exploitation of UI and Vis in all examples
    • Medical:
      • radiobiology:
        • Implement reading of an external phase space file (generated by other codes or a clinical Treatment Planning System) for source generation
      • DICOM:
        • Develop an example for medical imaging by modifying DICOM example adding gps part, and detector part
    • Medical/dna:
      • neuron:
        • Add UI commands to the macro input file to calculate water radiolysis products in specific regions of interest
        • Studies of DNA damage using intermediate-Z ions (He, Li, N, Ne) and validation of the new detailed chromatin/chromosome geometries
      • dnaphysics and microdosimetry:
        • Update ion physics information in the SteppingAction class, README file, and analysis scripts
        • Demonstrate Auger and G4DNA Processes on an existing example (maybe dnaphysics): provide macro files and histograms
        • Demonstrate G4DNA and Hadronic Physics by modifying the dnaphysics example to include mixed processes and validate existing PhysicsLists
      • UHDR:
        • Update multiple-pulse function
      • AuNP:
        • Update chemistry function
      • Updates of Geant4-DNA extended examples for new Geant4-DNA physics models coming in 2025

  • Common tasks:

    • Coding guidelines:
      • Review the status and open a GitLab issue with the violations
    • Existing examples maintenance
