Abstract

Four different Geant4 physics packages, Livermore, Penelope, Emstandard Opt4 and Emstandard Opt1, have been benchmarked against real data in the low-energy region ≤18.6 keV, with regard to β-decay induced X-ray spectrometry (BIXS) applications. The tritium data of two different BIXS experiments have been compared against the calculated detection efficiencies and spectral shapes. All four physics package results showed the main features of the experimentally obtained spectra. The spectral shape was reproduced best by the Penelope physics package. Regarding the detection efficiency, the current data set showed the best agreement with Emstandard Opt1 output, while the maximum deviation of ≤24% was given by the Emstandard Opt4 result.
