Geant4 Training KitGeant4 Training Kit

Geant4 Training Kit Project at last year’s Workshop

Based on the Training Requirements Document Modular

– Modules for each major Geant4 domain

– Choice of modules at different levels of coverage and complexity Flexible

– Assemble modules to compose training courses matched to specific local requirements

Training Kit delivered in December 2001


Training milestone, 2000Training milestone, 2000

For each module:

Unit 1: Basic introductory course

Unit 2: Computing School course, with hands-on exercises

Unit 3: Academic-style lectures, with examples

Training Milestone

One of the Geant4 milestones for year 2000 is the creation of training kits for Geant4 users. The current proposal for the User Requirements Document for Geant4 training shows the need for several distinct training kits.

Short 1-day training course (first draft, editor: H.Yoshida) School training course (first draft, editor: M.Asai) Academic-style training course (first draft, editor: M.G.Pia)

Lectures on Geant4


Experience in usageExperience in usage

Course at INFN School of Detector Technologies Torino, March 2001 Based on Geant4 Academic Lectures (shortened version)

Courses in Japan Report at Geant4 review Positive outcome

Proposals Geant4 course in Spain (organizer: Begona Quintana) Medical Physics School in Archamps Course at CERN? Interest at NASA?


Future improvementsFuture improvements

Complete missing modules

Lecture notes (as speaker’s aids) for all modules

Recorded course on the web

Specialised courses Geometry CAD interface Physics Visualisation/[G]UI/analysis Application in specific domains (LHC, space, neutrino

experiments, radiation background, medical etc.) etc.


What is most neededWhat is most needed

Courses

Feedback from students to improve the Training Kit

Impact of courses to build user communities

Education to advanced software engineering

Perhaps common efforts with the AIDA gang?
