Geant4 at Fermilab

What is Geant4?

Geant4 is a toolkit for the modelling of the passage of particles through matter.
It is a successor of the Geant3 simulation package, that has been world-standard toolkit for the HEP detector simulation since early 1980's and throughout modern days. Geant4 is one of the first successful attempts to re-design a major package of HEP software for the next generation of experiments using an Object-Oriented environment.
The toolkit is being designed, developed and maintained by an international collaboration formed by individuals from a number of cooperating institutes, HEP experiments, and universities. Its headquarter is located at CERN.

The Geant4 application areas include high energy physics and nuclear experiments, medical, accelerator and space physics.
In particular, the toolkit has recently become very popular among experiments and project at Fermilab.
The Computing Division CEPA-PSM group offers through these pages a set of hands-on instructions and tips for getting started in the use of Geant4 at Fermilab, as well as useful links to projects, documents, and related web sites.
