G3 to G4
Muon nuclear interaction
Total cross section and Mean free path
- Geant3
Cross section from Gheisha.
- Geant4
S(E,Z): starting from the recent theoretical
differential cross section,
the total cross section is computed by numerical integration.
Energy range: from ~1 GeV to 1000 PeV
Final state
- Geant3
from Gheisha.
- Geant4
The energy and scattering angle of the muon are sampled according the
theoretical differential cross section.
The hadronic part of the final state is generated by the hadronic
processes, taking into account the 4-momentum conservation.
