Geant 4是模拟辐射通过物质传输的工具包。该工具包具有灵活的内核和不同的物理模型选择，可满足广泛的应用需求。使用该工具包，用户可以描述装置或探测器的几何形状和材料，在其中导航，使用物理引擎、基础物理截面和模型模拟物理相互作用，可视化和存储结果。提供了描述电磁和强子相互作用的物理模型，以及光子的衰变和过程。多种型号，具有不同的精度和性能，可用于许多过程。该工具包包括连贯的物理模型配置，称为物理列表。用户可以选择现有的物理列表或创建自己的物理列表，这取决于他们的要求和应用领域。清晰的结构和可读的代码，使用户能够调查物理结果的来源。
Geant4 is a toolkit for the simulation of the transport of radiation through matter. With a flexible kernel and choices between different physics modeling choices, it has been tailored to the requirements of a wide range of applications.With the toolkit a user can describe a setup’s or detector’s geometry and materials, navigate inside it, simulate the physical interactions using a choice of physics engines, underlying physics cross‐sections and models, visualise and store results.Physics models describing electromagnetic and hadronic interactions are provided, as are decays and processes for optical photons. Several models, with different precision and performance are available for many processes. The toolkit includes coherent physics model configurations, which are called physics lists. Users can choose an existing physics list or create their own, depending on their requirements and the application area. A clear structure and readable code, enable the user to investigate the origin of physics results.A...
