Monte-Carlo Geant4 numerical simulation of experiments at 247-MeV proton microscope
A radiographic setup for an investigation of fast dynamic processes with areal density of targets up to 5 g/cm$^2$ is under development on the basis of high-current proton linear accelerator at the Institute for Nuclear Research (Troitsk, Russia). A virtual model of the proton microscope developed in a software toolkit Geant4 is presented in the article. Full-scale Monte-Carlo numerical simulation of static radiographic experiments at energy of a proton beam 247 MeV was performed. The results of simulation of proton radiography experiments with static model of shock-compressed xenon are presented. The results of visualization of copper and polymethyl methacrylate step wedges static targets also described.
