A Proof-of-concept Study on Integrating GEANT4 and MATLAB to Develop a Simulation Capability for Testing Radiological Source Localisation Algorithms

Abstract

This report describes a proof-of-concept study on integrating a Monte Carlo particle simulation package called GEANT4 with MATLAB technical computing software to build a radiological simulation capability to test and evaluate radiological source localisation algorithms developed in MATLAB. The purpose of this report is to document what was learnt during this project, including alternative approaches that were considered; useful instructions and tips; and bugs and pitfalls, so that these can benefit anyone who is undertaking to extend this work.
