Photon Energy deposition in a pure Ge crystal

Here are is the mass attenuation cross sections for Germanium --- Massattenuation.gif

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.

Energy Deposition

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.

Change units on Y-axis to Energy (eV?)

"No Backscattering" Do another plot with momentum cut Pz>0

Add 9000 to Z-position to start Ge barrier at zero
