Description
The Julia programming language, renowned for its speed and ease of development, has emerged as a powerful tool for scientific computing and numerical simulations. In this paper, we introduce Geant4.jl, a Julia package that offers bindings for the Geant4 toolkit. Geant4, a widely utilised framework in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, medical physics, and space science, is characterised by its extensive library comprising thousands of C++ classes and intricate design. Our primary objective in developing Geant4.jl is to provide a user-friendly interface tailored specifically for simulation application developers. This interface not only enhances usability but also ensures optimal computational performance, leveraging features such as multi-threading. We underscore the substantial advantages offered by this streamlined toolkit, particularly when compared to the intricacies of the C++ interface, which occasional users often contend with when developing customised simulations.
