Software Process Improvement in Geant4

Applying a Software Process Improvement (SPI) program to GEANT4 [1] represents a rather challenging task, both in terms of software development and organisational matters. The complexity of the software involved, the wide areas of application of the software product, the huge amount of code and Category complexity, and the size and distributed nature of the Collaboration itself are all ingredie...

ALICE experience with GEANT4

Since its release in 1999, the LHC experiments have been evaluating Geant4 in view of adopting it as a replacement for the obsolescent Geant3 transport MonteCarlo. The ALICE collaboration has decided to perform a detailed physics validation of elementary hadronic processes against experimental data already used in international benchmarks. In one test, proton interactions on different nuclear t...

The Geant4 Visualisation System

The Geant4 Visualisation System is a multi-driver graphics system designed to serve the Geant4 Simulation Toolkit. It is aimed at the visualization of Geant4 data, primarily detector descriptions and simulated particle trajectories and hits. It can handle a variety of graphical technologies simultaneously and interchangeably, allowing the user to choose the visual representation most appropriat...

Geant4 Status and Results

GEANT4 is a detector simulation toolkit designed for the new generation of High Energy Physics experiments as well as for nuclear physics, astrophysics, medical and space applications and radiation background studies. An overview of its main features is presented, with emphasis on the most recent enhancements and a selection of results from Geant4-based simulations in various experimental envir...
