XIX Seminar on Software for Nuclear, Subnuclear and Applied Physics
Hotel Porto Conte
This event is organized by INFN, University of Sassari and by the SNAKE (Sharing Software Knowledge) non-profit organisation. The Seminar offers lectures to Ph.D. students, medical physicists and young researchers working at Universities or Research Institutes.
The lectures also include a full official basic course on the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit. Lectures will cover all aspects of the toolkit from basic installation through advanced topics and will be interspersed with examples that build a progressively more complex application, extensible to real space and medical use.
On the last day of the School, students will have the opportunity to test their learning achievements through a written exam. The successful outcome of the test will be reported on a written certificate for those interested, to be requested on arrival, at the registration desk. A simple attendance certificate will also be available on request.
This year the school will host a cycle of seminars on particle detectors, a course on machine learning fundamentals and application in physics and a course on Python programming language.
Staying at Hotel Porto Conte is mandatory for all the participants: due to the limited room availability at the Hotel, a maximum number of 45 participants can be admitted. Registration is closed, as the maximum number of participants has been reached. A waiting list is available.
All participants must comply with the Italian regulations against COVID-19.

You can indicate your preferred room-mate in the Special Requirement section, in case you select the double accommodation.
Virtual machine instructions
Participants are recommended to bring their own laptop. A virtual machine with Linux-CentOS and a ready-to-use Geant4 and python installation is available (with the instructions) at this link.
All students are invited to download and test in advance that the Virtual Machine is working (the network at the hotel has a limited badnwidth). It is recommended to keep a backup copy of the .zip or .tar.gz archive of the VM to restore the VM to its initial state in case of need.
