The course will cover Geant4 basics for creating applications in any domain, but with extra emphasis on topics most relevant to experiments in High Energy or Nuclear Physics. Exercises will be based on Geant4 10.4 and the latest version 10.5.

Lectures will cover all aspects of Geant4 from the basic building blocks of Geant4 through intermediate topics, interspersed with examples that build a simple application demonstrating a realistic use case.

The course is expected to be of interest to novices and those with basic or partial familiarity with Geant4. Participants are expected to have a reasonable knowledge of C++. A follow-up course is planned in March with intermediate / advanced topics.

The cost for the course is 100 CHF and registration is required. A limited number of places are currently available, to fill seats not taken up by CERN experiment users. These places are available on a first-come first-serve basis to qualified applicants. A waiting list for the course will be active when the registration slots are full.
