Abstract

As the scale and complexity of High Energy Physics experiments increase, simulation studies require more and more care and become essential to design and optimise the detectors, develop and test the reconstruction and analysis programs, and interpret the experimental data. GEANT is a system of detector description and simulation tools that help physicists in such studies.
