Description
Geant4 Low Energy Electromagnetic package provides a precise treatment of electromagnetic interactions of particles with matter down to very low energies (250 eV for electrons and photons, <1 keV for hadrons and ions). It includes a variety of models for the electromagnetic processes of electrons, photons, hadrons and ions, taking into account advance features, such as shell effects and effects due to charge dependence. The comprehensive set of particle types it can handle, the variety of modeling approaches and the extended coverage of energy range make this package a unique tool among Monte Carlo codes on the market, and of relevance to several experimental domains in HEP, astroparticle physics, space science and biomedical studies
