This example shows the dose distribution in water along the incident photon beam. The beam hits the water cube surface and deposits a dose under the surface of the water. 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. | This example shows the dose distribution in water along the incident photon beam.

| - | The slices are created using class '''G4PVReplica'''. The energy and dose are scored using classes '''G4UserSteppingAction''' and '''G4UserRunAction'''. Photons are generated using '''G4ParticleGun''' class. There is an option to chose among several EM physics lists. | + | The slices are created using class '''G4PVReplica'''.
