Electromagnetic Physics I
Joseph PerlSLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
(strongly based on Michel Maire's slides)
Geant4 v9.3.p01
Standard EM package
Outline
● EM physics processes available
● How to invoke them in a physics list ● Important sampling processes
– Compton scattering
– ionization
– multiple scattering ● Energy-range relation and stepping
Summary● Standard EM physics processes are available for gammas
and charged particles from 1 keV and up
● EM processes must be ordered in the physics list ● EM processes are based on theoretical cross sections with
corrections. During simulation, quantities are taken from tables calculated at initialization time
● Multiple scattering is handled by model functions which represent fits to Lewis transport theory results (not Moliere)
● Energy-range relation is used to compute energy loss, and to control step lengths and secondary production
