Abstract :
We summarize recent developments and the current status of the Geant4 standard package of electromagnetic physics. The package provides simulation of electromagnetic interactions of photons, leptons, and hadrons in the energy range from 1 keV to 10 PeV. It also includes a sub-package for optical photons production and interaction. Thus, a complete simulation can be performed using Gean4 electromagnetic package, starting from the beam all the way to the final detector response.
