Note that the meeting place, usually known as “Salle d’enseignement” is not situated in the main building of the former LAL (b. 200), but in another (small) building (behind the b. 206, see the map).
On Monday morning, we will also pick up participants in front of building 200 ~5 min before the start of the tutorial.
The registration for the PHENIICS participants is organised by the doctoral school.
Due to the health covid-19 crisis the number of participants was reduced and we cannot accept external participants.
The hands on will be done on the classroom computers (MAC OSX) with the Geant4 software already installed. If participants want to work with their laptops, it is necessary to install Geant4 before start of the course. No support for installation will be provided during the course. Also no support will be provided for Windows OS.
More detailed instructions about the necessary Geant4 configuration are available here.
The tutorial will alternate lectures with exercises for development of a user application. The goal is to learn step by step using the Geant4 toolkit and developing of a Geant4 application. The following topics will be covered:
