Dear developers,
I would like to simulate proton (and other light ions) induced nuclear reactions, especially radiative capture, at low (<1MeV) energy. I am using geant version 10.05.p01. As I understand, ParticleHP uses mainly theoretical cross sections from TENDL for inelastic process down to 1 MeV, and the capture process is not available. Also, ParticleHP cross sections are not quite user-friendly. Therefore, I was thinking to use ParticleXS framework and its human-readable cross sections possibly more easily extensible by users. I understand that the cross sections can be found under G4PARTICLEXS1.1 directory but G4IonPhysicsXS does not seem to use it for proton. So my questions would be: (1) How can I correctly use (activate in PhysicsList) ParticleXS cross sections for protons? (2) What is your suggestion for the extension of the ParticleXS framework for capture reactions? Process, model or cross section?
Best regards,
Zoltan
