How the course will proceed
Technical aspects -- using Zoom breakout rooms to interact with lecturers during hands-on session
Interacting via Mattermost for questions 'online'
Exercise follow up
The toolkit / library 'nature' of Geant4 and how differ from radiation transport tools ?
Is there is no Geant4 'executable' ? If not, why ?
Variety of existing Geant4-based application / tools.
How do you use Geant4 ?
Goals:
- Familiarise with program main, contents of directories, compiling and running an executable
How to get the exercise material
You can follow these instructions from the gitlab site of the exercises below "How to get the exercises"
Copied below also (in case of gitlab unavailability)
First create a directory for all our work (examples & exercises) :
