Electron backscattering simulation in Geant4
/ Dondero, Paolo (SWHARD S.R.L., Genoa) ; Mantero, Alfonso (SWHARD S.R.L., Genoa) ; Ivanchencko, Vladimir (CERN ; Geant4 Assoc. ; Tomsk State U.) ; Lotti, Simone (INAF, IAPS, Rome) ; Mineo, Teresa (IASF, Palermo) ; Fioretti, Valentina (IASF, Bologna)
The backscattering of electrons is a key phenomenon in several physics applications which range from medical therapy to space including AREMBES, the new ESA simulation framework for radiation background effects. The importance of properly reproducing this complex interaction has grown considerably in the last years and the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit, recently upgraded to the version 10.3, is able to comply with the AREMBES requirements in a wide energy range.

Low energy protons (< 300 keV) can enter the field of view of X-ray space telescopes, scatter at small incident angles, and deposit energy on the detector, causing intense background flares at the focal plane or in the most extreme cases, damaging the X-ray detector. A correct modelization of the physics process responsible for the grazing angle scattering processes is mandatory to evaluate the impact of such events on the performance of future X-ray telescopes as the ESA ATHENA mission.

Report on G4‐Med, a Geant4 benchmarking system for medical physics applications developed by the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group
/ Arce, P (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Bolst, D (Wollongong U.) ; Cutajar, D (Wollongong U.) ; Guatelli, S (Wollongong U.) ; Le, A (Wollongong U.) ; Rosenfeld, A B (Wollongong U.) ; Sakata, D (Wollongong U.) ; Bordage, M‐C (CRCT, Toulouse) ; Brown, J M C (KIN, Delft) ; Cirrone, P (INFN, LNS) et al.
Geant4 is a Monte Carlo code extensively used in medical physics for a wide range of applications, such as dosimetry, micro‐ and nano‐ dosimetry, imaging, radiation protection and nuclear medicine. Geant4 is continuously evolving, so it is crucial to have a system that benchmarks this Monte Carlo code for medical physics against reference data and to perform regression testing. [...]
