Dear geant4 user,
I used the ‘human_cell.mac’ file from the geant4-dna molecular example, configured all the settings to match those in the referenced paper. However, the yields of SSB and DSB obtained are much higher than the data in the literature. Does anyone know why? Could it be related to updates in G4data?(I executed the command in the terminal ./molecular -m humen_cell.mac -p 2)
Thank you!
this is my .mac example
