Dear G4 users and developers,
I noticed that there are two different G4_WATER mean excitation energy values in the source code.
One is in “G4NistMaterialBuilder.cc”, line 737, in function “G4NistMaterialBuilder::NistSimpleMaterials”, and the value is 78.0.
The other one is in “G4IonisParamMat.cc”, line 632, in function “G4IonisParamMat::FindMeanExcitationEnergy”, and the value is 75.0. The materials covered in this functions are all compounds. But the chemical formula is still “H_2O”, same as the one in NistSimpleMaterials.
Does anyone by any chance noticed this and know why they have different values?
Best,
Jun
