Abstract
In GEANT4, a Physics List is a consistent set of physics models that is able to cover all combinations of incident particle type, energy, and target material. Various Physics Lists are possible and useful, according to the specific application domains (e.g. high-energy physics, shielding, space-application, medical physics, etc.), and the best compromise between accuracy and CPU time that the user can accept. Users are allowed to write their own preferred Physics List, but several pre-defined ones are available in GEANT4 for convenience, and indeed they are used by the large majority of users. We present here the Physics Lists that are of interest for high-energy physics applications.
