Physics Settings for Using the Geant4 Toolkit in Proton Therapy

We simulated electromagnetic and nuclear processes induced by clinical proton beams in order to select the physics setting for the 8.1 version of the Geant4 toolkit. A modular physics list was constructed allowing for alternative processes and models to be invoked in the simulations. We validated th...
