<para>
Geant4 advanced examples illustrate realistic applications of
Geant4 in typical experimental environments. Most of them also show
the usage of analysis tools (such as histograms, ntuples and plotting),
various visualization features and advanced user interface facilities,
together with the simulation core.

    <ulink url="http://g4advancedexamples.lngs.infn.it/Examples/hadrontherapy">
    <emphasis role="bold">hadrontherapy</emphasis>
    </ulink>
    : it is an advanced tool for people interested in Monte Carlo studies related 
to proton/ion therapy. Hadrontherapy permits the simulation of a typical hadron therapy beam line 
(with all its elements) and the calculation of fundamentals quantities of
interests: 3D dose distributions, fluences, stopping powers, production cross sections 
for the produced secondary particle, etc.; In the near future 
new tools will be added: Hadrontherapy will permit the calculation of LET and RBE for both
proton and ion beams and it will include the possibility to simulate a typical active scanning proton
therapy transport beam line. 
Please contact the authors for more details on the upcoming features.
