Improvement of GEANT4 Simulation in Nuclear Internal Conversion Model

ORAL

Abstract

The internal conversion codes in GEANT4 are corrected. Specifically, we focus on the process of E0 transition of $^{72}Ge(n,n'e)$ which is unable to be actually produced in GEANT4 mainly due to insufficient cross-section information in GEANT4 database. In addition, we also provide an approach to provide this part of data and activate the process in GEANT4 simulation.
