DESCRIPTION:\nThis course is meant for those interested to begin to use th
 e Geant4 toolkit to create or improve applications for High Energy or Nucl
 ear Physics detectors and other domains including medical imaging\, partic
 le therapy and the effects of radiation on electronics. It will be a hands
 -on tutorial based on Geant4 version 11.4.\nLectures will cover the key as
 pects of Geant4 from the basic building blocks for all applications throu
 gh intermediate topics. Practical sessions will guide each participant to 
 build an example Geant4 application that is progressively extended to demo
 nstrate a realistic use case.\nThe course is intended for novices and thos
 e with limited familiarity with Geant4. Participants are expected to have 
 a basic knowledge of C++.\nWe encourage participation in person for CERN\,
  for those who are local or able to travel.  If you do not have a CERN af
 filiation or access card\, you will be asked for further information to en
 able access to the CERN site.\nParticipation via videoconference will also
  be possible.\nRegistration \nRegistration opened on March 9th for those 
 involved in CERN experiments and projects. \nGeneral registration will op
 en on March 16th.\nPriority for in person attendance will given to CERN pa
 rticipants\, but places for others are expected to be available.\nPreinsta
 llation of Geant4 is Required\nUsers must setup a desktop or laptop capabl
 e of running Geant4\, equipped with an internet connection. Minimum requi
 red free disk space to install the Geant4 Virtual Machine is about 25 GB\;
  the recommended amount of RAM is 4 GB or over.\nThe Geant4 Virtual Machin
 e (see instructions) is the only supported installation of Geant4. Users
  must have this installed on their machine\, to undertake the exercises in
  an environment which supports all necessary functionality. We will organ
 ise a dedicated Zoom session for those participants who face difficulties
  installing or have questions about it.\nUsers are encouraged to create an
  additional installation on their system with native compilers\, to facil
 itate long-term use\, if they are knowledgeable about their operating syst
 em (typically using Linux\, macOS or Windows). Supported systems and C++ c
 ompilers for these are listed in the Geant4 Installation Guide. If you hav
 e questions about whether your machine is appropriate\, or problems about 
 installing Geant4\, see the Geant4 Installation Guide\, and/or the Geant4 
 Installation and Configuration Discussion Forum.\nPre-requisites: \n\nBas
 ic knowledge of the C++ language \nBasic knowledge of Monte Carlo simula
 tion techniques \nAvailability of a machine with Virtual Machine pre-inst
 alled\n\nObjectives: \n\nAcquire basic understanding of particle transpor
 t Monte Carlo\nAcquire basic knowledge and first experience in using the G
 eant4 simulation toolkit\n\n\nhttps://indico.cern.ch/event/1657768/
