Course Information
Course Contents/Program
This mini-workshop (basic level) is mainly aimed at graduate students in the fields of
nuclear and particle physics and any field that deals with radiation and particle detection.
The goal is to learn step by step using the Geant4 toolkit and developing a Geant4 application.
The program will consist of lectures and hands-on activities. It is highly recommended that
the participants have at least a basic level of understanding of C++ and UNIX like operating systems.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own laptops (VMware player software already installed).
The HGS-HIRe PEP is targeted at an audience of doctoral students interested in the topic and
advanced undergraduate students. The focus of the PEP is strongly on educational aspects to
enhance the research toolbox of the participants rather than on a scientific discussion about
the results and outcomes of the simulation and analyses.

Each day of this workshop will consist of a mixture of lectures and hands-on sessions (see below).
