For example, when I send to B10 neutron, I want to find the number and energy of alpha particles produced in the target.Vanadium 50 said:What target? And what examples? The ones included with the toolkit have descriptions.
I want to do a bnct therapy example. Is there an example in geant4 about this? What I need is an example that shows the number and energy of new particles created in any target when I send a proton or any particle to any target.Vanadium 50 said:What example are you talking about?

In your step function, you can interrogate the step object what process happened, and if it is of interest you can get further information. Please see this topic in Geant4 forums for further detailsemilmammadzada said:TL;DR Summary: Produced particles and energies in the target Geant4
Dear experts.Which example file in Geant4 can I use to find the particles and energies produced in the target?
Geant4 (Geometry and Tracking) is a software toolkit used for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is widely used in high energy physics, medical physics, and space science for modeling particle interactions and detector responses.
In Geant4, a target material can be defined using the G4Material class. You can specify the target's chemical composition, density, and other properties. This is typically done in the DetectorConstruction class of your Geant4 application, where you also define the geometry of the target.
Geant4 can simulate the production of a wide range of particles, including electrons, positrons, photons, protons, neutrons, and various ions. The specific particles produced depend on the interactions and processes defined in your physics list and the energy of the incident particles.
You can record the energies of particles produced in the target by using sensitive detectors and hit collections in Geant4. By implementing a sensitive detector class and attaching it to your target volume, you can collect information about the energy deposition, particle types, and other relevant data during the simulation.
Geant4 includes a comprehensive set of physics processes that govern particle interactions, such as electromagnetic processes (e.g., ionization, bremsstrahlung), hadronic processes (e.g., elastic and inelastic scattering), and decay processes. The choice of physics processes and models can be tailored to the specific requirements of your simulation through the use of physics lists.
