SLAC Geant4 tutorial course
A Geant4 (Version 6.0) tutorial course will take place at
SLAC on March 8th-10th, 2004. The tutorial will be conducted
by instructors at SLAC and will be aimed at novice and mid-level
users and application developers. The classes will consist of
lectures, hands-on tryouts and open discussions.
GEANT4 is a toolkit simulating passage of particles through
matter. It is used in diverse applications, including simulation
of high energy and nuclear physics experiments, radiation
shielding, space radiation transport and effects, and medical
physics. For more information on Geant4, please visit the
collaboration's web page at http://cern.ch/geant4
The tutorial is free of charge. The registration begins on January
15th, and will be limited by space considerations to no more
than 80 registrants. For more information on the tutorial and
registration, please visit the tutorial course web page

The course will deal with GEANT4 on both Linux and Windows
environments. Participants will be expected to bring their
own laptop computers. Both wireless and cabled internet
accesses are provided (cable itself is not provided).
Participants will be expected to install Geant4 Version 6.0,
beforehand. For the installation of Geant4 version 6.0,

On the first day of this tutorial course, each participant
(or group of participants) is encouraged to give a brief
self-introduction presentation with a couple of slides to
explain what they want to do with Geant4. Each presentation
will be no more than 5 minutes, each group will only be given
one time slot. Participation is highly encouraged but not
mandatory.
This tutorial course is being organized by Geant4 team at the
Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
