Abstract

Current status of the Standard electro-magnetic (EM) package of the Geant4 toolkit is described. We report on the stability of results with respect to variation of production threshold and Physics List. This illustrates the trade between CPU time and precision of simulation predictions. New comparisons of the Geant4 simulation with the experimental data are shown. The CPU benchmark results are discussed.
