Geant4 (GEometry ANd Tracking) is a toolkit for the simulation of the
passage of particles through matter. It was designed for the
next-generation of High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments, with primary
requirements from the LHC, the CP violation and heavy ion experiments. Its
application areas include HEP and nuclear experiments, medical, accelerator
and space physics studies. Geant4 exploits advanced software engineering
techniques and object-oriented technology to achieve the transparency of
the physics implementation, and hence provide the possibility of validating
the physics results. It was developed by RD44, a worldwide collaboration of
about 100 scientists from over 40 institutions and laboratories
participating in more than 10 experiments in Europe, Russia, Japan, Canada
and the United States.
