XI Seminar on Software for Nuclear, Subnuclear and Applied Physics

25 May 2014, 08:00 → 30 May 2014, 21:00 Europe/Rome

Porto Conte Alghero

The Seminar offers lectures to PHD students, Postdoctoral scholars and young researchers working at Universities or Research Institutes. The Seminar is organized in didactical units on software developed and used in fundamental and applied physics, theoretical and experimental. The lectures also include a series of lessons on the Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation toolkit.  A specific Geant4 course is, in fact, organized and it will include teorethical as well as practical sessions. See the General Information page, for the prerequisite to attend the Geant4 lessons and practical sections.

Instruction for practical exercises are at this page:
