Description
Geant4 has become an established tool, in production for the majority of LHC
experiments during the past two years, and in use in many other HEP experiments and
for applications in medical, space and other fields. Improvements and extensions to
its capabilities continue, while its physics modeling are refined and results are
accumulating for its validation for a variety uses. An overview of recent
developments in diverse areas of the toolkit is discussed. These include
developments that enable coupled propagation of charged particles in multiple
geometries, improvements and refinements in EM physics and an overview of the
evolution of the physics modelling. The progress in physics performance continues
with a validation effort and physics comparisons with data in collaboration with
different of experiments and user groups. We review briefly also the progress in the
validation suites for Geant4 releases.
