  4. The DMX advanced example • The Dark Matter eXample was released with Geant 4.4.0 and updated with release 4.4.1 (geometry, analysis) • Gives example of Dark Matter type experiment with a scintillator target (LXe), low energy physics interactions, ray tracing of scintillation of photons and time constants introduced to demonstrate discrimination Alex Howard, CERNSlide 4
