This is a tutorial about applications of GEANT4 to medical physics. The GEANT4 is installed on the HEP Linux cluster at UCL. You will need an account on that cluster to be able to use this software, run example tutorials and create your own applications. | This is a tutorial about applications of GEANT4 to medical physics.

GEANT4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. The user creates his/her own simulation application using GEANT4 tools. The tools are base classes. There are eight base classes. | GEANT4 is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter. The user creates his/her own simulation application using GEANT4 tools.

You can create your own classes which are derived from the base classes. All of them should be registered with the G4RunManager. In function main() which is the skeleton of your simulation code you instantiate G4RunManager and notify it of your mandatory and optional classes. | You can create your own classes which are derived from the base classes.
