GEANT4是一个软件工具包，用于模拟粒子通过物质的过程。它被用于各种应用领域的大量实验和项目，包括高能物理、天体物理和空间科学、医学物理和辐射防护。在过去几年中，对工具包进行了重大修改，以适应这些用户群体的需要，并有效地利用技术进步带来的计算能力的增长。这里讨论了GEANT4对多线程的适应、物理、探测器建模和可视化方面的进展、工具包的扩展，包括偏置和反向蒙特卡罗，以及用于物理和版本验证的工具。(C)2016年提交人。爱思唯尔出版公司(Elsevier B.V.)
GEANT4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection. Over the past several years, major changes have been made to the toolkit in order to accommodate the needs of these user communities, and to efficiently exploit the growth of computing power made available by advances in technology. The adaptation of GEANT4 to multithreading, advances in physics, detector modeling and visualization, extensions to the toolkit, including biasing and reverse Monte Carlo, and tools for physics and release validation are discussed here.
