14. GRAS implementation of the Geant4 Reverse Monte Carlo status report

Marco Vuolo (ESA)

Science missions are demanding progressively more detailed simulations increasing the computational time due to the complexity of the 3D geometrical models. Generally, in space dosimetry calculations, the sensitive part of the electronic components is significantly small compared to spacecraft size. In such cases the reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) method, also known as the adjoint Monte Carlo, can...

8. SoftWare for Optimization of Radiation Detectors for space applications

Dr Wade Duvall (Naval Research Laboratory)

SoftWare for Optimization of Radiation Detectors (SWORD) is a CAD-like development tool and front end for several radiation transport codes. By default, SWORD ships with Geant4. SWORD also supports MCNP (radiation transport Monte Carlo developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory) and Denovo (deterministic discrete solver developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory), both of which must be...

15. Geant4 applications in space missions like HXMT and active galactic nucleus

As China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, Insight-HXMT (Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope) successfully launched on Jun 15, 2017. HXMT carries three main payloads onboard: the High Energy X-ray telescope (HE, 20-250 keV, NaI(Tl)/CsI(Na)), the Medium Energy X-ray Telescope (ME, 5-30 keV, Si-Pin) and the Low Energy X-ray telescope (LE, 1-15 keV, SCD). The response function and efficient areas...

3. The MPEXS series, a CUDA code based on Geant4

Dr Shogo Okada (KEK), Prof. Takashi Sasaki (KEK)

The MPEXS series is yet another software toolkit to simulate interactions between particles and matter. MPEXS was designed and built from scratch for GPU in the CUDA language, but still, algorithms and data necessary are taken from Geant4. MPEXS, the major part of the MPEXS series including handlers of geometry, material, incident particles, particle transportation, Electro-Magnetic physics,...

9. Translation of Penelope 2018 to C++ and its interface to Geant4

Makoto ASAI (SLAC)

30/11/2018, 10:20

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...
