/ Sytov, Alexei (INFN, Ferrara ; KISTI, Daejeon) ; Bandiera, Laura (INFN, Ferrara) ; Cho, Kihyeon (KISTI, Daejeon) ; Hwang, Soonwook (KISTI, Daejeon) ; Cirrone, Giuseppe Antonio Pablo (INFN, LNS) ; Pandola, Luciano (INFN, LNS) ; Guatelli, Susanna (Wollongong U.) ; Rosenfeld, Anatoly (Wollongong U.) ; Haurylavets, Viktar (Minsk, Inst. Nucl. Problems) ; Tikhomirov, Victor (Minsk, Inst. Nucl. Problems) et al.
Electromagnetic processes of charged particles interaction with oriented crystals provide a wide variety of innovative applications such as beam steering, crystal-based extraction/collimation of leptons and hadrons in an accelerator, a fixed-target experiment on magnetic and electric dipole moment measurement, X-ray and gamma radiation source for radiotherapy and nuclear physics and a positron source for lepton and muon colliders, a compact crystalline calorimeter as well as plasma acceleration in the crystal media. One of the main challenges is to develop an up-to-date, universal and fast simulation tool to simulate these applications. [...]

Report on G4‐Med, a Geant4 benchmarking system for medical physics applications developed by the Geant4 Medical Simulation Benchmarking Group
/ Arce, P (Madrid, CIEMAT) ; Bolst, D (Wollongong U.) ; Cutajar, D (Wollongong U.) ; Guatelli, S (Wollongong U.) ; Le, A (Wollongong U.) ; Rosenfeld, A B (Wollongong U.) ; Sakata, D (Wollongong U.) ; Bordage, M‐C (CRCT, Toulouse) ; Brown, J M C (KIN, Delft) ; Cirrone, P (INFN, LNS) et al.
Geant4 is a Monte Carlo code extensively used in medical physics for a wide range of applications, such as dosimetry, micro‐ and nano‐ dosimetry, imaging, radiation protection and nuclear medicine. Geant4 is continuously evolving, so it is crucial to have a system that benchmarks this Monte Carlo code for medical physics against reference data and to perform regression testing. [...]
