X-ray tracing using Geant4
arXiv:0810.1273 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2008.11.002
Abstract
We describe an extension to the Geant4 software package that allows it to be used as a general purpose X-ray tracing package. We demonstrate its use by building a model of the X-ray optics of the XMM-Newton, calculating its effective area, and comparing the results with the published calibration curves.
