ABOUT
ParticleCounter is an application for Monte Carlo simulation of radiation detectors based on the Geant4 toolkit.
ParticleCounter is an application for Monte Carlo simulation of radiation detectors based on the Geant4 toolkit.
The ParticleCounter application (version 5.1) has been tested on Geant4 version 10.1 (patch-03) using Ubuntu 18.04 or later.

ParticleCounter is currently focused on simulations with 3He-filled neutron counters. Simulation of other kinds of radiation detectors, such as HPGe or silicon, is also possible by extracting track information from the Monte Carlo simulation.

Description
Description
- Realistic implementation of different commercial detectors.
- Internal definition of different materials.
- “User friendly” parametric implementation of geometries, detectors and materials.
- User access to track information from the Monte Carlo transport.
- Particle source based on the G4GeneralParticleSource (GPS) provided by the Geant4 toolkit.
- Scoring based on the internally defined scorers of ParticleCounter or the command-based scoring functionality provided by the Geant4 toolkit.
- Previous versions of the code have been described in: PoS(XLASNPA)068, 2013 & JINST 12 (2017) P04006.
