50 | GEANT4 is a toolkit for both full and fast Monte Carlo simulation |
---|
51 | of detectors in High Energy Physics. It is also designed to take |
---|
52 | into account the requirements of space and cosmic ray applications, |
---|
53 | nuclear, heavy ion and radiation computations, and medical |
---|
54 | applications. |
---|
55 | <P> |

164 | The second chapter was written for novice users. It provides a |

198 | This document is for those who wish to extend the functionality of the |

199 | Geant4 toolkit. This might include adding a new physics process, adding |

200 | a new particle, and so on. It starts with an explanation of the |
---|
201 | object-oriented analysis and design performed by the original toolkit |
---|
202 | developers. Understanding this design is mandatory for a new toolkit |
---|
203 | developer. Then, guidance on how to extend the functionality of each class |

204 | category is given. |
