Advances in Low-Energy Electromagnetic Physics: Geant4 Models for Space Applications

This document presents key advancements in low-energy electromagnetic physics and modeling, particularly in the context of the Geant4 framework. It discusses the development and implementation of models for photons, electrons, positrons, and hadrons, tailored for applications in space, medical physics, and neutrino experiments. The models leverage experimental data and theoretical approaches for energies ranging from 250 eV to 100 GeV. Additionally, it highlights the importance of X-ray emissions as indicators of target composition in missions such as BepiColombo to Mercury.
