0009 This examples shows how to compute microdosimetry
0010 distributions y, z in liquid water using exclusively Geant4-DNA
0011 physics processes and models.
0012
0013 This example is provided by the Geant4-DNA collaboration.
0014
0015 These processes and models are further described at:
0016 http://geant4-dna.org
0017
0018 Any report or published results obtained using the Geant4-DNA software shall
0019 cite the following Geant4-DNA collaboration publications: \n

0024 ## Geometry
0025
0026 A box of liquid water.
0027
0028 ## Incident particles
0029
0030 Particles can be selected from the microyz.in macro
0031 as well as their incident energy.
0032 They are shot from the center of the box.
0033
0034 ## Physics
0035
0036 The default Geant4-DNA physics constructor 2 is used in
0037 the PhysicsList class. Alternative constructor can be
0038 selected from the macro file microyz.in
0039
0040 Livermore and Penelope physics lists can be used as well.
0041
0042 Tracking cut and maximum step size can be selected in microyz.in
0043
0044 ## Scoring of enery deposition
0045
0046 Energy depositions are scored in spheres randomly
0047 placed along the incident particle track,
0048 using a weighted sampling.
0049
0050 The user can select the radius of the sphere in microyz.in using the command:
0051 ```
0052 /microyz/det/Radius X unit
0053 ```
0054 where X is the radius value and unit is specified.
0055
0056 ## Run
0057
0058 The code can be run using:
0059 ```
0060 ./microyz microyz.in
0061 ```
0062
0063 ## Results
0064
0065 Results can be analyzed after the run using:
0066 ```
0067 root plot.C
0068 ```
0069
0070 The distribution of y is shown by default.
0071
0072 The following quantities are calculated: yF and yD.
