Electron Forward Scattering

Source Data

All simulation data was obtained from geant-val for elements Be, C, Al, Ti, Cu, Ta and Au. However, only Be, C, Ti and Au are shown here as these are the only ones with available experimental data. The experimental datasets were obtained from the Geant4 11.2 distribution in examples/extended/medical/electronScattering/data.

Results

Absolute

The absolute plots are shown below for each material:

Figure 1: Fluence of electrons from each target.

Ratio

There is a great difference between simulation and experimental data leading to a large range of ratios:

Regression Statistics

The regression plots for each target is shown below:
