GEANT4 Paper is Hot, Hot, Hot
By Richard Mount
According to Elsevier Science Direct, the GEANT4
Collaboration paper from 2003 is number five in the list of hottest
articles in Physics and Astronomy—and the only article in the top 25
that has anything to do with high energy physics. Areas of interest
range from economics to engineering and from biological to physical
sciences.
GEANT4 is a toolkit that simulates the 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.
SLAC has been actively involved in its development and user support
since the launch of the project.
