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 http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/SLACTutorial04/ 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.
