@amandalund Great idea, but we may want to consider both options since with a custom process the Celeritas imported materials and dn/dx calculator are used rather than Geant4 (could be...
Yep, great point!
## Discussion from Slack on 15 July @whokion: > In principle, we can implement custom optical generation processes for scintillation and Cherenkov processes, replacing the standard G4Scintillation and G4Cerenkov processes...
Thanks @whokion for your thoughts! > I still believe the cleaner solution is to send an optical photon track along with the relevant metadata (e.g., user track information such as...
I still don't understand why one stacked secondary per step (especially since it sounds like it has to "abuse" the user data) is preferable to directly offloading to celeritas. Is...

> This approach is somewhat awkward, as it requires interfacing with Celeritas code and using data structures within Geant4 processes (even though there is no technical issue for doing that)...
See https://github.com/celeritas-project/celeritas/issues/886#issuecomment-1875974225 - This issue is the Opticks-like approach where we send "gensteps" from a stepping action - Another issue could be added for @whokion 's Geant4 11.4 QuasiPhoton integration;...
See #1877
@davidsgr This is the base issue for the RNG work we're doing; I'll split that part off into a sub-issue.
