I am embarking on a journey to learn some Geant4. I want to model a specific gamma ray detector with the goal of making summing corrections on the spectra for any isotopes that cascade.
I have no experience in Geant at all and I have heard there are some subtleties between the different versions as well as special low energy gamma packages.
Has anyone done a similar project and can recommend a good starting point? Or knows a good person to talk to?
In general, any suggestions for the best ways to start tackling Geant?
I have not! But there are probably some people who have on this forum. @pablo , do you know any active members who do a lot of detector design? We can also ask Paul Gueye if he has any good resources.
We also have a simulation lab here for our graduate second-year nuclear lab course, so some of our students might be of help with Geant4. I can ask one of my friends who took the lab if they have any good tips too! I think he’s actually in ASCSN as well.
