La liste des mécanismes physiques de GEANT
 
Dans la table g2t_vertex la variable ge_proc contient le code du mécanisme de GEANT a l'origine du vertex. La signification de ce code est parfois utile pour comprendre  ce qui c'est réellement passe.  Voici la liste des codes et une brève description. Pour plus d'information il faut consulter le manuel de GEANT (bon courage...) dont d'ailleurs cette table est extraite :
 
code nom description
1 NEXT particle has reached the boundary of current volume
2 MULS multiple scattering
3 LOSS continuous energy loss
4 FIEL bending in magnetic field
5 DCAY particle decay
6 PAIR photon pair-production or muon direct pair production
7 COMP Compton scattering
8 PHOT photoelectric effect
9 BREM bremsstrahlung
10 DRAY delta-ray production
11 ANNI positron annihilation
12 HADR hadronic interaction
13 ECOH hadronic elastic coherent scattering
14 EVAP nuclear evaporation
15 FISS nuclear fission
16 ABSO nuclear absorption
17 ANNH anti-proton annihilation

21 MUNU muon-nuclear interaction
22 TOFM exceeded time of flight cut
23 PFIS nuclear photo-fission
24 SCUT the particle due to bending in magnetic field was unexpectedly crossing volume boundaries and the step has been halved to avoid this
