These ultra low energy photons are emitted for better energy and momentum balances. You can user G4NEUTRONHP_DO_NOT_ADJUST_FINAL_STATE flag for stopping emission of these photons, but the balances will be much worse. Now we are discussing anther methods or applying thresholds for such photons. Tatsumi We make a decision that we will not produce photons for the purpose below the lower limit (1keV) of Geant4 standard EM. This slightly affects conservation level, but we believe it is negligible. We will implement this coming release which planed on 2010 Dec. If anyone wants to make comment about this decision, please let us know. Tatsumi I am sorry I forget to close this. It already passed more than a year. So please make a new report who want to have some comments about this. Thank you very much. Tatsumi |
Created attachment 45 [details] an example of unexpected gamma ray lines I am using a simple geometry which is mainly constituted by natural Germanium and Lead. And 2MeV neutron generated and passed through those materials. I found lots of unexpected gamma ray lines produced in the two materials. The attached file is one of example.
