Geant4-DNA example applications for track structure simulations in liquid water: A report from the Geant4-DNA Project.

TL;DR: This Special Report presents a description of Geant4-DNA user applications dedicated to the simulation of track structures (TS) in liquid water and associated physical quantities (e.g., range, stopping power, mean free path…) and shows that the most recent sets of physics models available in Geant 4-DNA enable more accurate simulation of stopping powers, dose point kernels, and W-values in liquidWater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diffusion-controlled reactions modeling in Geant4-DNA

TL;DR: A general method of speeding-up chemical reaction simulations in fluids based on the Smoluchowski equation and Monte-Carlo methods, where all molecules are explicitly simulated and the solvent is treated as a continuum, which describes diffusion-controlled reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geant4 Physics Processes for Microdosimetry Simulation: Design Foundation and Implementation of the First Set of Models

TL;DR: The Geant4 Low Energy Electromagnetic package as discussed by the authors is a low energy simulator for microdosimetry simulation of biological systems with a focus on the simulation of radiation effects in biological systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent Improvements in Geant4 Electromagnetic Physics Models and Interfaces

TL;DR: The Geant4 toolkit as mentioned in this paper is a toolkit for the analysis of the electromagnetic (EM) physics of the standard and low-energy models, including relativistic models for bremsstrahlung and e+e-pair production, models of multiple and single scattering, hadron/ion ionization, microdosimetry for very low energies.
