Photon Energy deposition in a pure Ge crystal
Here are is the mass attenuation cross sections for Germanium ---
Here are is the total photon attenuation for Germanium ---
Here is the range of electrons in Ge as a function of energy ---
Determine the deposition of photons ranging in energy from 10 eV to 3 MeV in a pure Germanium crystal assuming an infinite block.
Attenuation coefficient about 1/5.323 cm = 0.19 cm or about 2 mm to maybe 2 cm?
Create file containing Photon Energy, ProcessID, step #, Energy Lost, Position for each step a photon takes through the Germanium crystal.

Results of energy loss in Germanium
Why do SN>1 photons loose energy at Z = -9000?

Send photons from inside an infinite crystal at 100, 500, 1000,3000 keV energy. Add up all the energy loss and see if you get delta functions or a delta + tail because GEANT4 stopped taking the photon and thus the energy is not accounted for.

"No Backscattering" Do another plot with momentum cut Pz>0
Add 9000 to Z-position to start Ge barrier at zero
Initial verification - The first gamma interaction distribution is consistent with the published Ge mass attenuation coefficient at 500keV (0.08212) and a Ge density of 5.323.
Are the 2-D plots energy weights (normalized)? Set the Z-axis color range by hand in cold.
