Description

Full text: A report of the Geant4 activities undertaken in 2008 and early 2009 related to the project has been presented. Several members from Geant4 collaboration have participated in the CRP. We have prepared an open source Geant4 code, to allow its use by non Geant4 members. This open source code acts as a platform for benchmarking and other tasks to be made in the CRP. The code is based on Geant4 Hadrontherapy example prepared by INFN-Catania collaborators and test30 which is originally used for internal validation of Geant4 hadronic models
