The Accuracy of Cerenkov Photons Simulation in Geant4/Gate Depends on the Parameterization of Primary Electron Propagation
Energetic electrons traveling in a dispersive medium can produce Cerenkov radiation. Cerenkov photons’ prompt emission, combined with their predominantly forward emission direction with respect to the parent electron, makes them extremely promising to improve radiation detector timing resolution. Tr...
