Can Geant4 Simulate Alpha Particles in a Bragg Chamber?

In summary, the study investigates the capability of Geant4, a widely used simulation toolkit for particle interactions, to accurately simulate alpha particles in a Bragg chamber. It evaluates the performance of Geant4 in terms of energy deposition, spatial distribution, and the resulting radiation effects when alpha particles interact with the chamber's materials. The findings indicate that while Geant4 can simulate alpha particle behavior, certain parameters and models may need refinement to enhance accuracy in specific scenarios, particularly in low-energy interactions.

TL;DR Summary
Programs for simulation of a Bragg chamber
Me and my colleagues need to analyse data from a Bragg chamber. We have sources of Cm244, Am241, Np237 sending alpha particles in the chamber which is fill with Argon and CH4 at 1%.
Is there any software that can simulate di situation ?
I downloaded SRIM but i’m not sure it is the best one for our pourposes.
Thank you

Geant.

However, it is not trivial to learn. There are examples, but the number of applications vastly exceeds the number of examples.
