Hello！ I used the G4EmstandardPhysics_option4(1,2 3) physics list to simulate the interaction between alpha particle and plastic, and I want to know the energy distribution of the secondary electron. But I cannot find any electron, when I use step-GetTrack()->GetParticleDefinition()->GetParticleName() == “e-” code to find them.

Is the secondary electron was ignored in the G4EmstandardPhysics_option4 or there are some other potential errors in my simulation?

Looking forward to your help, and thank you very much!

use this header
include “G4Electron.hh”

Thanks for your suggestion!

When I increase the energy of alpha particle, the secondary electrons appear. Now I think the secondary electron was not ignored for the low energy alpha particle in G4EmstandardPhysics_option4(1,2 3) physics list.
