Geant4 - X-Ray Telescope Example
Introduction
XrayTel is an advanced Geant4 example based on a realistic simulation of an X-ray Telescope. It is based on work carried out by a team of Geant4 experts to simulate the interaction between X-ray Telescopes XMM-Newton and Chandra with low energy protons present in the orbital radiation background. The X-ray mirrors are designed to collect x-ray photons at grazing-incidence angles and focus them onto detectors at the focal plane. However, this mechanism also seems to work for low energy protons which, if they reach the detectors in sufficient numbers, can cause damage. In this example, the geometry has been simplified by using a single mirror shell and no baffles, but all the dimensions and materials are realistic.

Geant4 - an Object-Oriented Toolkit for Simulation in HEP
Advanced Examples
In this directory one can find examples of real complete applications used for different simulation studies. The applications included here may require third party products for handling of the data produced (visualization, analysis or persistency tools). Refer to the README and documentation provided in each example for the details. These application are made part of the official GEANT4 distribution, however their maintenance and updates is under responsibility of the authors.
