geant
Toolkit for simulation of passage of particles through matter
Geant simulates the passage of subatomic particles through matter, for instance, particle detectors. Geant 3 simulations are performed by linking Fortran code supplied by the user with the Geant libraries, then running the resulting executable. This package includes gxint, the script used to perform this linking step. Geant 4 is a complete rewrite in C++ with addition of other modern features and detectors.

Versions & arches
Use flags of 4.11.4.1
- +data Add a lot of standard physics data files for geant4
- debug Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
- doc Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
