Description
The Fortran code system Penelope performs Monte Carlo simulation of coupled electron-photon transport in arbitrary materials for a wide energy range. Penelope implements the most reliable interaction models that are currently available, limited only by the required generality, and gives results in good agreement with a variety of experimental data. We present a translation of the latest Penelope 2018 physics routines to C++ that is designed to be used with the Geant4 toolkit with multithreading capabilities. This program effectively uses the available computational resources, giving results equivalent to those from the original Penelope programs with a much shorter running time, which is roughly inversely proportional to number of threads used.
