Geant4 Basic Tutorials

There are several basic tutorials that introduce the rudiments of Geant4 simulations for proton therapy:

• Monoenergetic Photon Pencil Beam is a simple code which shows the dose deposition in water along the incident monoenergetic photon beam.
• Monoenergetic Proton Pencil Beam is a simple code which shows the dose deposition in water along the incident monoenergetic proton beam.
• Proton Beam With Realistic Geometry is a simple code with realistic geometry of the proton beam. The primary particles are generated with initial energy, position and direction described by Gaussian distributions. Computed is the dose deposition in water along the beam.
• Several Proton Beams With Spread Out Bragg Peaks is a simple code which shows the dose deposition in water from several incident monoenergetic proton beams.
• Electron Beam Using Phase-Space Files is a simple code which shows the dose deposition in water along the incident electron beam using phase-space data files.
