Plan2006

ELECTROMAGNETIC WORKING GROUP plan for 2006

1) Validation and verification of EM physics as a first priority:

• extension, systematization and atomization of the validation suite;
• introducing histogram comparisons in the suite;
• providing test for current XTR models against test beam data;
• providing test for synchrotron radiation process;
• providing web page for verification results.

2) Publications related to the Urban’s model of Multiple Scattering.

3) Further update of ionization processes:

• spin and mass effects for pions, muons, kaons;
• tuning and verification of corrections for hadron and ion ionization;
• provide a possibility to plug in user data for stopping powers;
• improve the kinematics of final state sampling of PAI models.

4) Develop a process of the elastic Coulomb scattering

5) Provide alternative msc processes for different particle types: e+,e-, muons, hadrons, and ions.

6) Review of the bremsstrahlung models including LPM effect.

7) Extend e+ annihilation to hadrons : add 3pi and K+K- production.

8) Introduce K-L shell X-rays in the photoElectric process.

9) Optical processes updates:

• micro Facet Extension :
• introduce virtual base class BoundaryMicrofacetModel;
• include new LIP (Lisboa) micro facet model;
• unified model extension :
• allow a specular as well as diffuse component for the transmitted photon;
• Fresnel Lens (LIP Lisboa) as a new advanced example;
• attached Surfaces (the aim is succinctly model the optical transport in volumes with different optical treatments on different sides/faces);
• extend the usage of optical processes to G4Boolean Solids
