Description
Summary:Simulation plays an increasingly important role in the design and operation of high energy physics detectors. Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter, developed according to advanced software engineering; it addresses the challenging requirements of new-generation experiments, as well as of other application domains. An overview of Geant4 simulation capabilities is presented.
