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…
New techniques in Monte Carlo simulation: experience with a prototype of generic programming application to Geant4 physics processes
Maria Grazia Pia, Mauro Augelli, Marcia Begalli +5
An investigation is in progress to evaluate extensively and quantitatively the possible benefits and drawbacks of new programming paradigms in a Monte Carlo simulation environment,…
Quantifying the Unknown
Maria Grazia Pia, Matej Batič, Marcia Begalli +3
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…
Atomic Parameters for Monte Carlo Transport Simulation: Survey, Validation and Induced Systematic Effects
H. Seo, M. G. Pia, L. Quintieri +3
A wide survey has been performed, concerning atomic binding energies and ionization energies used by well- known general purpose Monte Carlo codes and a few specialized electromagn…
Data libraries as a collaborative tool across Monte Carlo codes
Mauro Augelli, Marcia Begalli, Mincheol Han +10
The role of data libraries in Monte Carlo simulation is discussed. A number of data libraries currently in preparation are reviewed; their data are critically examined with respect…
