Low Energy Electromagnetic Physics

Draft Work plan 2007

(subject to discussion in the Working Group)

Until end of April 2007

Publication of past developments and validation results
Preparation of material for the Geant4 Review

From May 2007

• Refinement of existing Geant4-DNA physics models (contribution from Geant4-DNA project)
• New Geant4-DNA  physics models (contribution from Geant4-DNA  project)
• New Geant4-DNA  biological models: cell survival (contribution from Geant4-DNA  project)
• New Geant4-DNA  biological models: first development cycle of other processes (contribution from Geant4-DNA  project)
• New physics models at the eV scale for other materials than water (contribution associated to Qinetiq sub-contract)
• Extension of the pilot project design elaborated for Geant4-DNA  processes to other sub-domains of the lowenergy package
• Design iteration in final state generation domain of Compton scattering for Doppler broadening reuse between alternative Compton scattering models (contribution associated to Qinetiq sub-contract)
• Restoring original design of hadron/ion domain
• Upgrade and extension of unit tests
• Design and code review of integration tests, documentation of undocumented test17, improvements deriving from the review, extension of coverage of the tests
• Validation of Geant4-DNA models (contribution from Geant4-DNA  project)
• Validation of atomic relaxation: second cycle
• Validation of quantum harmonic oscillator model
• Validation projects in Physics Book context: emphasis on  physics distributions relevant to INFN experiments (contribution associated to INFN project) and other projects relevant to Working Group members' institutes
• Reuse of published validation code and reference data for regression testing
• Publication of all new models
• Publication of validation results
