Dear Colleagues,

A 5 day Geant4 tutorial course was held a few weeks ago at SLAC.
The instructional materials from this course are all available online
and may be of interest to you, your students or your colleagues.
These materials (lectures and exercises) comprise to most complete
and up to date set of lessons on the use of Geant4.

The materials can all be found from the tutorial's agenda page at:
http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/SLACTutorial07/agenda.html

Of particular interest to medical physicists are slides 21 and 22
Makoto Asai's lecture, "Kernel III",
which can be found near the very bottom of the above agenda page.
Beginning with the frank admission that "There is no silver bullet,"
these slides procede to point out the current best practices for
using Geant4 in complex, voxel geometries.

On that same day of the agenda there is also a useful summary talk by
Jane Tinslay about event biasing (variance reduction) techniques.

Best Regards,

Joseph
