TLDR
The Geant4 simulation toolkit as mentioned in this paper includes a specialised package, implementing a precise treatment of electromagnetic interactions of particles with matter below 1 keV, taking into account detailed features, such as atomic shell effects and charge dependence.Abstract:
The Geant4 simulation toolkit includes a specialised package, implementing a precise treatment of electromagnetic interactions of particles with matter below 1 keV. The Geant4 low energy electromagnetic package provides a variety of models describing the electromagnetic processes of electrons and positrons, photons, charged hadrons and ions, taking into account detailed features, such as atomic shell effects and charge dependence. Those features are relevant to several experimental domains, such as astrophysics, space science and bio-medical research, and have enabled new simulation studies beyond the conventional applications of Geant4 in high energy physics. The design of the package and the physics models implemented are presented.read more

EPDL97: the evaluated photo data library `97 version
Abstract: The Evaluated Photon Data Library, 1997 version (EPLD97), is designed for use in photon transport calculations at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory This library includes photon interaction data for all elements with atomic number between Z = 1 (hydrogne) and 100 (fermium), including: photoionization, photoexcitation, coherent and incoherent scattering, and pair and triplet porduction cross sections For use in applications data is provided for all elements over the energy range 1 eV to 100 GeV This report documents the sources and treatment of the data included inthis library EPDL97 completely supersedes the earlier 1989 version of EPDL and it is highly recommended that useres only use the most recent version of this library
