Geant4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the interaction of particles with matter, developed and maintained by a world-wide collaboration of physicists and computer scientists. Its application areas include high energy physics experiments, astrophysics and astroparticle physics, nuclear physics, space science, medical physics and medical imaging, radiation protection etc.
It exploits software engineering techniques and the object oriented technology to achieve transparency of the physics implementation, as well as openness to extension and evolution. The toolkit provides functionality for all the typical domains of detector simulation, such as Geometry modeling, detector response, run and event management, tracking, visualization and user interface. An abundant set of Physics Processes handles the different interactions of particles with matter across a wide energy range, as required by Geant4 multi-disciplinary nature; for many physics processes a choice among different models is available.
The Geant4 source code and libraries are freely available, accompanied by an extensive set of user documentation. These seminars provide an overview of Geant4 capabilities and teach how to simulate an experimental set-up.
