Assembling a Geant4 application on the basis of Geant4 classes
This course aims to acquire basic notions to carry out Monte Carlo simulations using the GEANT4 toolkit. GEANT4 allows the simulation of complex geometry and models the interactions of particles (charged or uncharged) with matter. The toolkit can be used for microscopic dosimetry calculations or to model the beam of a cyclotron. This approach makes it possible to monitor the particles through the analysis of the processes incurred (ionization, diffusion, etc.), to evaluate the energy or position spectra. This supposes a prior knowledge of a programming language (Fortran or Matlab). The first lessons of the course will address the C ++ specifications.
