This example shows the dose distribution in water along the incident electron beam. The volume of the water cube is divided into slices perpendicular to the incident beam. At each slice the deposited dose and energy is computed.

The slices are created using class '''G4PVReplica'''. The energy and dose are scored using classes '''G4UserSteppingAction''' and '''G4UserRunAction'''. The electron beam is generated using '''Varian Clinac 2100 C/D''' [http://www.hep.ucl.ac.uk/pbt/RadiotherapyWorkbook/skins/common/images/ElectronPHSP/phase-spacedata.txt phase-space data] files. The phase-space data files contain detailed description of the particles generated via a Monte-Carlo simulation of the treatment source. You can find more information about phase-space data at the [https://www-nds.iaea.org/phsp/phsp.htmlx IAEA website]. [https://www-nds.iaea.org/phsp/electron1/VarianClinac_2100CD-readme.pdf Here] you can read more about the '''Varian Clinac 2100 C/D''' electron beam. There is an option to chose among several '''EM''' physics lists.
