Nuclear and Particle Physics simulation software packages

GEANT4 Additional simulation programs that may be used: LISE, MCNP.

1. Installation
   Download from https://geant4.cern.ch, then follow the installation description. Set up the visualization properties. Run to software using prepared input files.

2. Run predefined settings
   getting to know the input and the running steps, getting to know the format of the results and using them, Making figures for the results, to reproduce a figure from a scientific artice

3. Changing Geometry
   The first unit of input is geometry. The aim is to change the detector geometry in a pre-selected way, run the codes with a few new detector geometries, interpret the resulting spectra, and select the defining parameters
   Reproduce Figure 3 from the following publication: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/271920760
   Specifying Detector Material
   Getting to know the format for specifying new materials in the detector, set up a detector system using new materials. Run with new materials, analyze the effects of individual small and large atomic numbers by analyzing certain spectra of results

4. Physics list
   An overview of the options for choosing built-in physical processes. Examining the detector you have made so far, if you allow more and more physical processes. Constructing detectors in which different physical processes play a major role. The interpretation of these spectra.

5. Run Action
   Setting the run parameters. Investigation of different energy, mixed energy and different focusing featured beams in one and more detectors. Characterization of the complete setting parameter space, setting all parameters individually. Running with parameter sets and investigate the response function.

6. Data analysis
   An overview of the options for evaluating data. So far, only the use of spectrum-based assessment, the use of matches, statistical tests and uncertainties are included in the simulation. Write simple data evaluation macros.

7. Simulation of a HPGe detector
   Model a HPGe detector of the Lab of Deptartment of Atomic Physics by specifying the parameters of the detector. Calculate the response function of some high energy gamma sources.

8. Analysing the simulation results of the HPGe detector
   Analyse spectra from running the simulator. Compare results from different runs with variable parameters.

9. Calculate the efficiency of the HPGe
   Evaluate the photopeak and full efficiency of the detector at various energy levels and with different shadowing possibilities.

10. Create a runtime environment
    Create a user interface for batch processing or for evaluating large number of simulations. The interface should allow simulations with several options and methods. The evaluation of data should be automatic even for complex tasks.
