Dear Geant4 Community,
I am working on a simulation where I send monoenergetic electrons (initially 20 keV, but potentially within the 0–50 keV range) into a target material with varying thickness. My goal is to investigate the energy loss of these electrons as a function of material thickness.
Could you please advise on which physics list is most appropriate for modeling electron-material interactions in the low-energy (0–50 keV) range?
Specifically, I am interested in:
- Accurate modeling of energy loss (including inelastic scattering, ionization, and possible backscattering)
Would something like G4EmLivermorePhysics or G4EmPenelopePhysics be more suitable for such low-energy applications? and which example should i be using suitable for my task in mind?
Any recommendations on production cuts or additional considerations would also be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your guidance.
