Geant4 Training Kit

• Geant4 Training Kit Project at last years
  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

3
Training 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

Experience 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?

11
Future improvements

• Complete missing modules
• Lecture notes (as speakers aids) for all modules
• Recorded course on the web
• Specialised courses
• Geometry
• CAD interface
• Physics
• Visualisation/GUI/analysis
• Application in specific domains (LHC, space,
  neutrino experiments, radiation background,
  medical etc.)
• etc.

What 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?
