Simulation of the 6NM-64
The application is based on Geant4 and aims to the determination of the 6NM-64 detection efficiency for various particle beams (download). Three elements are provided:
- 6NM64 executable for windows
- AssistGenerator_6NM64.bat for the generation of 6NM64Assist.bat file
- Synoptic manual
Please read the manual for user instructions.
* Notice: Geant4 has moved to version 10.However, the application uses Geant4.9.6 and the corresponding datasets.
