Beam Tools
Geant4 is a tool kit developed by a collaboration of physicists and
computer professionals in the High Energy Physics field for simulation of
the passage of particles through matter. The motivation for the development
of the Beam Tools is to extend the Geant4 applications to
accelerator physics. Although there are many computer programs for beam
physics simulations, Geant4 is ideal to model a beam going through
material or a system with a beam line integrated to a complex detector.
There are many examples in the current international High Energy Physics
programs, such as studies related to a future Neutrino Factory, a Linear
Collider, and a very Large Hadron Collider.
Beam Tools News:
March 1, 2003: Version 1.41 (BT-v1.41) for Geant4.4.1 with patch
01 has been released. It replaces BT-v1.0. Changes and fixes: units bug
in magnetic field (BTGlobalEMField.cc), improvement in time performance by
reducing the number of calls to mysplz[jj](zPS) in BTSolenoid.cc,
particle trajectories are now displayed in the MuCool example,
several unitialized variables fixed, pow function eliminated from squares
to improve performance.
March 1, 2003: Version 1.50 (BT-v1.50) for Geant4.5.0 with patch
01 has been released. Same as 1.41 but ported
to G4.5.0 with patch01.
Once you have setup or installed Geant4 in your system, you can make use
of the Beam Tools within the Geant4 framework. Just download the files below
following the directions in the user's guide (section "Installing the
Beam Tools"). Please read the installation directions before you download any
file.
