Galet-LSC, A Geant4 Application Templet and its Application for Liquid Scintillation Counter

摘要

Geant4 is a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit to simulate interactions of particles with matter. It is widely used in various science field such as high energy physics, nuclear physics, space and medicine. Since Geant4 only provides users with a series of class libraries, users need to develop their own code for target application. It requires user's expertise in application software developments and deep knowledge of Geant4 classes. In order to minimize such efforts in Geant4 application developments, we have proposed a Geant4 application templet (Galet), that is a skeleton Geant4 application program for primer As one of integrated software based on the Galet, a simulation for liquid scintillation counter system (Galet-LSC) has been developed. It modeled two LSC systems, LSC-5100 and LSC-LB7 manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. The simulator aims to study characteristics of counting efficiency in various system configurations as well as liquid scintillation properties. In this paper, firstly, the concept and design of Galet are briefly described. Secondly the functions of Galet-LSC is presented. Thirdly, some preliminary results in Galet-LSC are demonstrated.
