  • G3toG4 (rztog4+call list interpreter) provides a mechanism to instantiate G4 geometries using information obtained from G3 data structures.

    • many bugs in G4 geometry code were discovered and fixed using this tools
    • no known mechanism to retrieve components of mixtures from G3 data banks, so mixtures cannot built up from their components on the G4 side using the rztog4 ? call list interpreter (mixtures problem)
  • EucIntfce abstract Geant interface is a useful G3/G4 validation tool requiring some C++ coding, but does not suffer from the mixtures problem

  • Areas needing work:

    • handling of divided volumes (G3toG4)
    • sensitive detectors and hits (G3toG4)
    • shapes in G3 missing in G4 (eg, HYPE)
    • booleans
