尽管其实用性和适用性，模拟NRF技术的能力目前不包括在GEANT 4中。在这里，我们描述的发展，验证和测试的NRF在GEANT4的10个独立的同位素。一个名为G4NRF的NRF类被开发来处理NRF物理。模拟的验证进行基准测试，它对实验测量的伽马射线散射在水和金属样品中的测量计数。验证结果表明，NRF峰的出现模拟和实验光谱之间的协议。我们已经开始将NRF模拟应用于医学研究，我们正在寻求在未来的版本中将NRF物理代码提供给GEANT4社区。
Despite its utility and applicability, the ability to simulate the NRF technique is not currently included in GEANT4. Here we describe the development, validation and testing of NRF in GEANT4 for 10 separate isotopes. An NRF class named G4NRF was developed to handle NRF physics. Validation of the simulation was performed by benchmarking it against experimental measurements for measured counts from gamma-ray scattering in water and metallic samples. The validation results show agreement between the simulation and experimental spectra for the appearance of the NRF peak. We have begun applying the NRF simulation for medical research, and we are seeking to make the NRF physics code available to the GEANT4 community in a future release.
