Description
We present an implementation of crystal lattices and phonon transport using the Geant4 toolkit. We discuss basic phonon transport physics as and detailed implementation methods within Geant4 as well as results of our verification and validation effort.
The code discussed is capable of tracking acoustic phonons in arbitrary cryogenic crystals, as well as simulate isotope scattering, mode mixing and anharmonic down conversion processes.
The physics processes presented are implemented as an extended example available with Geant4 v9.6.
