GEANT - Detector Description and Simulation Tool
The GEANT program describes the passage of elementary particles through
the matter. Originally designed for the High Energy Physics experiments, it
has today found applications also outside this domain in the areas of medical
and biological sciencies, radioprotection and astronautics. The principal
applications of GEANT in High Energy Physics are:
- the tracking of particles through an experimental setup for simulation
of detector response
- the graphical representation of the setup and of the particle
trajectories.
- Documentation in
Postscript,
