Geant4 Beginner Course, Belfast January 21 - 24, 2013

21 Jan 2013, 14:30 → 24 Jan 2013, 18:00 Europe/Rome

Queen's University - Belfast (Northern Ireland)

Francesco Romano (BA), Luciano Pandola (LNGS), Marco Borghesi

A four day hands-on course based on Geant4 last version will be held at Queen's University in Belfast (UK).
The tutorial will cover both high energy/nuclear physics and medical applications. 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 or medical use.

For any information on the Geant4 course please contact:
Prof. Marco Borghesi, Dr. Luciano Pandola, Dr. Francesco Romano
