Dear experts,
The Geant4 documentation [1] does not explicitly specify the projectile particles for which the PAI model is applicable. In the paper describing the PAI model implementation [2], it is stated that:
It allows us to calculate the ionisation energy loss distribution produced by relativistic charged particles in very thin layers of any material consisting of elements with Z = 1-100.
Additionally, a presentation at the 2015 collaboration meeting [3] lists e+/-, mu+/-, pi+/-, protons, and gammas as applicable particle types.
How can I confirm if the PAI model, once enabled in a region, also applies to other particle types, such as kaons?
Thank you for your time.
Best,
Alvaro
