New techniques in Monte Carlo simulation: experience with a prototype of generic programming application to Geant4 physics processes

An investigation is in progress to evaluate extensively and quantitatively the possible benefits and drawbacks of new programming paradigms in a Monte Carlo simulation environment, namely in the domain of physics modeling. The prototype design and extensive benchmarks, including a variety of rigorous quantitative metrics, are presented. The results of this research project allow the evaluation of new software techniques for their possible adoption in Monte Carlo simulation on objective, quantitative ground.

Conceptual challenges and computational progress in X-ray simulation

Recent developments and validation tests related to the simulation of X-ray fluorescence and PIXE with Geant4 are reviewed. They concern new models for PIXE, which has enabled the first Geant4-based simulation of PIXE in a concrete experimental application, and the experimental validation of the content of the EADL data library relevant to the simulation of X-ray fluorescence. Achievements and open issues in this domain are discussed.

Data libraries as a collaborative tool across Monte Carlo codes

The role of data libraries in Monte Carlo simulation is discussed. A number of data libraries currently in preparation are reviewed; their data are critically examined with respect to the state-of-the-art in the respective fields. Extensive tests with respect to experimental data have been performed for the validation of their content.
