EXO[edit]

I'm pretty sure EXO is not a high-energy experiment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.118.158 (talk) 23:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

EXO searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Although that is a nuclear process, it is a process that can only occur if the neutrino is a Majorana particle, which is a prediction of some high-energy theories. So it a high-energy experiment in the sense that it's chief goal is to test high-energy theories. Jasondet (talk) 23:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or not?[edit]

Maybe one should not write an article for a specific version of GEANT, but rather GEANT itself. – Ylai 01:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Geant4 itself is a separate product (a library of classes), not a version of GeantX. It has versions like Geant4 v.6.0. There exists also Geant3 that was written in Fortran, whereas Geant4 is written in C++ and is absolutely different from the point of view of programming technology. The physics inside is (almost) the same, but it is not surprising: we have only one version of the nature. V1adis1av 13:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The trouble is however, that GEANT (program) also (and actually mostly) covers Geant4. Therefore there is redundancy, or GEANT (program) should be rewritten to cover only Fortran GEANT. — Ylai 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Geant (disambiguation). Problem solved, all rejoice. :) Add there references that I omitted, please... --Yuriy Lapitskiy 22:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to reduce the redundancy a bit by moving the "Some experiments using Geant4" section from GEANT (program) to Geant4. --128.112.85.122 14:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the Geant4 web page, http://cern.ch/geant4, before writing anything. The brand name of Geant4 is "Geant4", but not "GEANT 4". And Geant4 is developed by the international collaboration, not by CERN itself.

The problem is still that GEANT (program) redirects to GEANT-3. There it sounds like it just an earlier version of the same program, which is why a merge might make sense. Better to have one article with citations so it would survive a deletion request. But perhaps the older code is still in use by Fortran users? I do see http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific6/cert/sub/pkgGEANT3.shtml perhaps. So any other opinions on if they should stay separate? One issue I have is that the European Internet consortium also seems to share the same acronym, see GÉANT. W Nowicki (talk) 17:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Rewritten in C++[edit]

Is this a suitable candidate for Category:Software that was rewritten in C++? Of course, the predecessor GEANT-3 was not written in C, but in Fortran 77 – but so was PYTHIA, which is also a member of said category. --2001:16B8:171C:D300:95A3:D60:11A4:D3C5 (talk) 23:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
