Quantifying the unknown: issues in simulation validation and their experimental impact
M. G. Pia, M. Batic, G. Hoff +10
The assessment of the reliability of Monte Carlo simulations is discussed, with emphasis on uncertainty quantification and the related impact on experimental results. Methods and t…
Epistemic and systematic uncertainties in Monte Carlo simulation: an investigation in proton Bragg peak simulation
Maria Grazia Pia, Marcia Begalli, Anton Lechner +2
The issue of how epistemic uncertainties affect the outcome of Monte Carlo simulation is discussed by means of a concrete use case: the simulation of the longitudinal energy deposi…
Conceptual challenges and computational progress in X-ray simulation
Maria Grazia Pia, Mauro Augelli, Marcia Begalli +7
Recent developments and validation tests related to the simulation of X-ray fluorescence and PIXE with Geant4 are reviewed. They concern new models for PIXE, which has enabled the…
