- | * <span style="color:#ff0000"> dnaphysics </span>: This example | + | * <span style="color:#ff0000"> dnaphysics </span>: This example simulates track structures in 100-micron side cube made of liquid water. Particles are shot from the center of the volume. The physics processes are defined using class '''G4EmDNAPhysics'''. You can find more information about the different physics process which are used to build the class '''G4EmDNAPhysics''' [http://geant4-dna.in2p3.fr/styled-3/styled-8/index.html here]. [http://geant4-dna.in2p3.fr/styled-3/styled-9/index.html Here] you can find how to build your own '''G4EmDNAPhysics''' class. The output of this tutorial is ntuple with type of particle, type of process, energy deposit and energy loss for every simulation step. |

The output is ntuple with type of particle, type of process, energy deposit and energy loss for every simulation step. |

This | + | * <span style="color:#ff0000"> microbeam </span>: This example simulates the cellular irradiation beam line installed on the [http://www.cenbg.in2p3.fr/-AIFIRA-Home-?lang=en AIFIRA] electrostatic accelerator facility located at [http://www.cenbg.in2p3.fr/ CENBG], Bordeaux-Gradignan, France. This accelerator is mainly used to investigate the effects of low dose irradiation on living cells. A realistic cell phantom is obtained from confocal microscopy and from ion beam anlysis techniques. Alpha particles of 3 MeV are incident on this phantom. The output is the dose deposited in the cell cytoplasm and in the cell nucleus. |
