You can change the physics process, incident proton energy and number of slices etc. by

modifying the macro proton.mac. In addition, you can configure the particle source by using '''/gps/''' commands.

In this macro the proton beam has Guassian energy distribution. The beam characteristics are the same as the ones used at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (INFN) in Catania, Italy. Have a look [https://geant4.web.cern.ch/geant4/UserDocumentation/UsersGuides/ForApplicationDeveloper/html/ch02s07.html here] to find out the meaning of all /gps/ commands.
