Geant4: A Simulation Toolkit
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter.
|
|
Its areas of application include high energy, nuclear and accelerator physics, as well
|
|
as studies in medical and space science.
|
|
|
|
For more information about how to use Geant4 and its application domains, please visit
|
|
`the Geant4 website <https://cern.ch/geant4>`_
