Abstract :
Two topics concerning the validation of electromagnetic processes in the Geant4 simulation toolkit relevant at low energies are reported. A comparison of energy deposit profiles produced by Geant4-based simulations against calorimetric measurements is documented, specifically addressing the low energy range. Results concerning the validation of fluorescence transition probabilities in the relaxation of excited atoms are also documented.
