• How to execute a program in the Geant4? I have tried both in windows and linux. This interface allows you to describe your simulation via scripts much easier than geant4 C.
• Hey everyone, My impression from my failed attempt with Windows, and from another previous post, is that Geant4 is not installable with Windows Visual Studio 2019, only with VS 2017.

Nov 10, 2016  Dev-C is an integrated development environment (IDE) for the C programming language. It presents a feature-rich environment, tools for writing and debugging, as well as a compiler to provide you with all the tools necessary to program software in C. The program is a fork of the Bloodshed Dev-C environment, designed for advanced programmers looking to create applications.

The aim of this Get Started series is to teach you how to write a desktop program in C++ using Win32 and COM APIs.

In the first module, you'll learn step-by-step how to create and show a window. Later modules will introduce the Component Object Model (COM), graphics and text, and user input.

For this series, it is assumed that you have a good working knowledge of C++ programming. No previous experience with Windows programming is assumed. If you are new to C++, you can find learning material at the Visual C++ Developer Center. (This resource may not be available in some languages and countries.)

Geant4^[1][2][3][4] (for GEometry ANd Tracking) is a platform for 'the simulation of the passage of particles through matter' using Monte Carlo methods. It is the successor of the GEANT series of software toolkits developed by The Geant4 collaboration, and the first to use object oriented programming (in C++). Its development, maintenance and user support are taken care by the international Geant4 Collaboration. Application areas include high energy physics and nuclearexperiments, medical, accelerator and space physics studies.^[3] The software is used by a number of research projects around the world.

The Geant4 software and source code is freely available from the project web site; until version 8.1 (released June 30, 2006), no specific software license for its use existed; Geant4 is now provided under the Geant4 Software License.

Features[edit]

Geant4 includes facilities for handling geometry, tracking, detector response, run management, visualization and user interface. For many physics simulations, this means less time needs to be spent on the low level details, and researchers can start immediately on the more important aspects of the simulation.

Following is a summary of each of the facilities listed above:

• Geometry is an analysis of the physical layout of the experiment, including detectors, absorbers, etc., and considering how this layout will affect the path of particles in the experiment.
• Tracking is simulating the passage of a particle through matter. This involves considering possible interactions and decay processes.
• Detector response is recording when a particle passes through the volume of a detector, and approximating how a real detector would respond.
• Run management is recording the details of each run (a set of events), as well as setting up the experiment in different configurations between runs.
• Geant4 offers a number of options for visualization, including OpenGL, and a familiar user interface, based on Tcsh.

Geant4 can also perform basic histogramming; it requires external analysis tools or software that implements the AIDA framework for exploiting advanced histogramming features.

Since release 10.0, Geant4 implements multithreading,^[4] making use of thread-local storage to allow for efficient generation of simulated events in parallel. There is not yet support for multithreading under Windows; GEANT4 must be installed under a Unix-based operating system such as MacOS or Ubuntu if multithreading is required.

Some high energy physics experiments using Geant4[edit]

• BES III at BEPCII
• BaBar and GLAST at SLAC
• ATLAS, CMS and LHCb at LHC, CERN
• COMPASS at SPS, CERN
• Borexino at Gran Sasso Laboratory
• DUNE, MINOS, and Mu2e at Fermilab
• Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO)
• Dark Matter Detectors: SuperCDMS, LUX, XENON

Applications outside high energy physics[edit]

Because of its general purpose nature, Geant4 is well suited for development of computational tools for analysing interactions of particle with matter in many areas. These include:

• Space applications where it is used to study interactions between the natural space radiation environment and space hardware or astronauts;
• Medical applications where interactions of radiations used for treatment are simulated.
• Radiation effects in microelectronics where ionizing effects on semiconductor devices are modeled.
• Nuclear physics

• Methodical Accelerator Design, for modelling the charged particles in the rest of the accelerator.
