Abstract: 
Geant4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection. Over the past several years, major changes have been made to the toolkit in order to accommodate the needs of these user communities, and to efficiently exploit the growth of computing power made available by advances in technology. The adaptation of Geant4 to multithreading, advances in physics, detector modeling and visualization, extensions to the toolkit, including biasing and reverse Monte Carlo, and tools for physics and release validation are discussed here.

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

Sebastien Incerti, +23 more
- 01 Aug 2018 - 
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.
