Democratizing Geant4: From Expert Tool to Accessible Platform
Geant4, a cornerstone in particle physics simulation, has demonstrated remarkable versatility across diverse fields, including medical physics, space exploration, and beyond. However, its reliance on C++ programming and command-line operation has hindered its accessibility to a broader audience.
To address this challenge, we propose a paradigm shift in Geant4 deployment. By encapsulating the complex simulation engine within a user-friendly, web-based interface, we aim to create a powerful yet accessible platform. This democratization of Geant4 will empower researchers, students, and professionals from various disciplines to harness its capabilities without the need for extensive C++ expertise.
Furthermore, integrating immersive visualization techniques, such as virtual reality, can transform the way we interact with and communicate simulation results. This approach not only enhances the user experience but also opens new avenues for engaging the general public with the wonders of science.
By lowering the barrier to entry and expanding the user base, we envision Geant4 as a ubiquitous tool, driving innovation and discovery across multiple sectors.
