Recurso educativo en video para simular un acelerador médico lineal en Geant4

Abstract

The FISINFOR research group in its line of scientific and technological literacy aimed at teachers-researchers, has presented several works on the development of video material to bring this target audience closer to the use, management and development of applications in certain software oriented to the investigation scientific. Following the same line of work of the research group, an audiovisual educational resource is developed to bring the specified audience closer to the design of simulated experiments with Gant4, this in order to reduce the learning curve in the use, management and development of applications in GEANT4 oriented to the work that can be derived from the teaching and research of the professor-researcher. The methodology for making the educational resource is based on the methodology proposed by Mauricio A. Cuesta (Cuesta Amaya, 2018) in which he collects in an example the didactic components for the realization of the audiovisual educational resource. For this work, the simulations presented on which the video resource will be made correspond to the simulation of an example of a linear accelerator for medical applications designed and presented in the work of professors Jorge E. García Farieta, Julián A. Salamanca and Diego J. Rodríguez Patarroyo, which became a book called Radiación-Materia: GEANT4 Hands On !, where the results of formative research on how to structure, design and elaborate a text aimed at research professors on the use and management of scientific software GEANT4 "
