Description
The extension of Geant4 simulation capabilities down to the electronvolt scale
is required for precision studies of radiation effects on electronics and
detector components, and for micro-/nano-dosimetry studies in various
experimental environments.
A project is in progress to extend the coverage of Geant4 physics to this energy
range. The complexity of the problem domain is discussed - such as, for
instance, the fact that in this energy range process models are
material-dependent. The physics models of new processes implemented in the
Geant4 Toolkit are presented: elastic scattering, charge increase/decrease,
excitation, ionisation. A new approach to policy-based process design in Geant4
is described. Results concerning various processes at the electronvolt scale are
presented.
