Description
The Geant4 simulation toolkit is widely used in particle physics experiments, including the LHC major ones. In this talk, we will present the first results of a one-year-old validation program carried out by the Geant4 Collaboration based on calorimeters test-beam data. The Monte Carlo ability to reproduce several hadronic and electromagnetic shower features has been tested against results from the ATLAS hadronic end-cap calorimeter, the CALICE silicon-tungsten calorimeter and the bucatini-based Dual-Readout calorimeter. This work targets results deployment within geant-val, the Geant4 validation and testing suite that allows to openly share any test with the particle physics community. The geant-val main features, the instructions for contributing to it and the next steps for Geant4 validation will be presented as well.
