in electronic form on the ESA Space Weather Web Server

2. Geant4 Low-Energy Electromagnetic Models for Electrons and Photons
*********************************************************
From: P. Nieminen E-mail: pniemine@estec.esa.nl
Dear Colleagues,
Geant4 is a new-generation toolkit for full and fast Monte Carlo particle
transport simulations, intended for a wide range of applications; these
include high energy physics, space and cosmic ray simulations, nuclear and
radiation analysis, and heavy ion and medical applications. A set of physics
models has been developed in Geant4 to describe the electromagnetic
interactions of photons and electrons with matter down to 250 eV. Preliminary
comparisons of the models with experimental data show a good agreement. A
CERN preprint report (CERN-OPEN-99-034) on this activity can be downloaded.
The Geant4 source code is freely
available at http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/geant4/source/source.html.
Further extensions and refinements of these models, as well as low-energy
electromagnetic interaction models for protons and ions, are planned by the
Geant4 collaboration in future.
