In this work, the simulation of optical photons is carried out in an antineutrino detector module consisting of a plastic scintillator connected to light guides and photomultipliers on both ends, which is considered to be used for remote…

This study develops and validates a patient-specific Monte Carlo (MC) dosimetry framework for propagation-based phase-contrast breast CT (BCT) at the Imaging and Medical Beamline (IMBL), ANSTO Australian Synchrotron, for accurate mean…

The Geant4 toolkit is the leading software for the simulation of particle transport through matter, widely used in nuclear physics, high-energy physics, and medical physics. However, the initial learning curve for new developers can be…

A R&D project has been launched in 2009 to address fundamental methods in radiation transport simulation and revisit Geant4 kernel design to cope with new experimental requirements. The project focuses on simulation at different scales in…

X-ray fluorescence computed tomography based on sheet-beam can save a huge amount of time to obtain a whole set of projections using synchrotron. However, it is clearly unpractical for most biomedical research laboratories. In this paper,…

Monte Carlo radiative transfer (MCRT) simulations are a powerful tool for determining the appearance of astrophysical objects, analyzing the prevalent physical conditions within them, and inferring their properties on the basis of real…

UCGretina, a GEANT4 simulation of the GRETINA gamma-ray tracking array of highly-segmented high-purity germanium detectors is described. We have developed a model of the array, in particular of the Quad Module and the capsules, that gives…

Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is one of the most influential diagnostic methods. In clinical reconstruction, an effective energy is used instead of total X-ray spectrum. This approximation causes an accuracy decline. To increase the…

Monte Carlo simulations are widely used in nuclear physics to model experimental systems. In cases where there are significant unknown quantities, such as energies of states, an iterative process of simulating and fitting is often required…

The neutron sensitivity of the C$_6$D$_6$ detector setup used at n_TOF for capture measurements has been studied by means of detailed GEANT4 simulations. A realistic software replica of the entire n_TOF experimental hall, including the…

Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for breast imaging has potential to replace conventional mammograms. However, concerns over dose and image quality prevent CBBCT systems from the clinical trial phase to next stage. The time of flight…

The upcoming Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) ground-based gamma-ray observatory will open up our view of the very high energy Universe, offering an improvement in sensitivity of 5-10 times that of previous experiments. NectarCAM is one of…

Recently, X-ray imaging dose from computed tomography (CT) or cone beam CT (CBCT) scans has become a serious concern. Patient-specific imaging dose calculation has been proposed for the purpose of dose management. While Monte Carlo (MC)…

We describe the results of detailed 3-D Monte Carlo simulations of a "CZT calorimeter" that can be used to detect photons in the keV to several MeV range. Several astrophysics applications require the detection of photons in the energy…

Radioactive decays are of concern in a wide variety of applications using Monte-Carlo simulations. In order to properly estimate the quality of such simulations, knowledge of the accuracy of the decay simulation is required. We present a…

This paper presents studies on application of convolutional neural network (CNN) to GEANT4 optical simulation data generated with a scintillator detector subdivided into 1 cubic cm, which is designed for the long-baseline neutrino…

The measurement of the time of flight of the two 511 keV gammas recorded in coincidence in a PET scanner provides an effective way of reducing the random background and therefore increases the scanner sensitivity, provided that the…

The high cost and low image quality traditionally associated with proton computed tomography (pCT) have prevented it from seeing significant use in clinical settings. A cheap, compact, high-density scintillating glass detector capable of…

De-excitation $\gamma$ cascades from neutron captures form a dominant background to MeV-scale signals. The Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit is widely used to model backgrounds in nuclear and particle physics experiments. While its…
