Abstract

We summarize the recent developments and the current status of the Geant4 standard package of electromagnetic physics (G4StEm). The package provides simulation of electromagnetic (EM) interactions of leptons and hadrons in the energy range from 1 keV to 10 PeV. It also includes the simulation of optical photons production and interaction. Thus, a complete simulation can be performed using G4StEm, starting from the beam all the way to the final detector response.
