Objectives

The tutorial will alternate lectures with exercises for development of a user application. The goal is to learn step by step using the Geant4 toolkit and developing of a Geant4 application. The following topics will be covered:

• Definition of geometry and materials
• Definition the primary particles sources
• Definition of physical processes and selection of a physics list
• User interfaces, macros, visualization
• Accounting physical quantities (« scoring »), analysis
• Multithreading
• Biasing

Instructions The instructions for participants (in French) are available here.

Requirements Basic level of C++ programming language is required :

• basic/syntax: if statements, loop constructs functions, pointers, references, passing function arguments
• classes: class definition and implementation, class data members and member functions/methods, static data members, member functions/methods, base class and derived class, pure virtual function/method
• standard template library: iostream, vector
