General Information
We are pleased to announce that the series of the Geant4 Space Users' Workshop - G4SUW - is continuing, this time in Europe. It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at ESA / ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, for this 16th edition of the G4SUW on 9-10-11 June 2027.
The event will be held right after the SPACEMON 2027 workshop, which is focussing on space environment monitoring including radiation, plasma, electromagnetic fields, dust, micro-particle and atomic species. The first session of the G4SUW, on Geant4 tools and integrations, will be shared with SPACEMON.
The G4SUW is focused on new results on space radiation interaction with components, sensors and shielding analysis, to be confronted with the Geant4-based tools and developments applicable to space missions. The particular topics of interest for this workshop include:
-
Effects on space electronics and science instruments, including Microelectronics micro- & nano-dosimetry, Single Event Effects (SEE) simulation, signal and background estimation, etc
-
Simulation of astronaut radiation hazards, including biological micro- & nanodosimetry
-
Shielding simulations and optimisation
-
Software interfacing Geant4 with space environment and/or effects tools (e.g. SPENVIS, NoM, Fastrad, SpaceSuite)
-
Planetary exploration applications
-
Magnetospheric and atmospheric propagation of galactic cosmic radiation and solar energetic particles
-
AI capabilities and applications in the context of Geant4 simulations in space
-
Geant4 toolkit improvements of significant benefit to space applications (e.g. in physics models, validation, simulation speed, geometry treatment)
This workshop is in person only.
Registration is free but participation must be requested and approved. More information on G4SUW 2027 will be available in due course, as well as the call for abstracts and registration details.
