Advanced Examples

Purpose

The Advanced Examples illustrate realistic applications of Geant4 in typical experimental environments. They are developed in collaboration with user groups expert in the corresponding experimental domain. The code of the developed examples can be dowloaded together with the Geant4 toolkit in the directory examples/advanced.
