Plan of work 2025

Ongoing actions, to be completed in 2025

  • Collect and document all existing regression tests, validation applications and benchmarks; assess coverage/observable and sensitivity
  • Define a list of requirements to integrate new tests (precission, sensitivity/observable, regression/validation)
  • Document methodology, tests results and the infrastructure itself (how to run add a test)
  • Establish workflow and responsibilities: WG may run their own tests, but the tests and the results may be accessible to other Geant4 members

Long term plan

  • Reach out external users who perform independent validations, explore synnergy with FLUKA
  • Investigate the possibility of adding some tests to CI for key validations. The best candidates are the smallest and fastest tests; e.g., to check cross sections, material factory, geometry
