Recent developments in Geant4

Geant4 is a software toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through matter. It is used by a large number of experiments and projects in a variety of application domains, including high energy physics, astrophysics and space science, medical physics and radiation protection. Over the past several years, major changes have been made to the toolkit in order to accommodate the needs of these user communities, and to efficiently exploit the growth of computing power made available by advances in technology. The adaptation of Geant4 to multithreading, advances in physics, detector modeling and visualization, extensions to the toolkit, including biasing and reverse Monte Carlo, and tools for physics and release validation are discussed here.

Atmospheric Tides Middle Atmosphere Program (ATMAP): Report of the workshop, Kyoto, Japan, December 5-6, 1984

Experimentalists, data analysts, and theoreticians were brought together to study and interpret the results of four solstice campaigns conducted prior to the symposium. Emphasis was placed on campaigns III and V. Topics discussed included: review of the data and evaluation of the consistency with available theoretical models; interpretation of the data; recommendations on how the Atmospheric Tides Middle Atmosphere Program (ATMAP) results should reach the open literature such that the advancement of middle atmosphere science and the proprietary rights of the individual experimenters are best served; and recommendations concerning future campaigns and the future emphasis of ATMAP.

Mesospheric Winds at Jicamaraca, Peru (12 Deg S, 77 Deg SW), November 19-21, 1981

The altitude of mean zonal wind in the mesosphere during the whole daytime observations is given. Positive value refers to eastward. At around 70 km, wind corresponds to summer easterly, and changes to westerly with increasing altitude above about 77 km. These are fairly compatible with known features of zonal wind at this latitude. Contour plot shows local time variations of zonal wind with daytime mean subtracted and averaged over three days. Shaded area designated westward wind with contour level of 2 m/s. The daily variation is almost in phase with altitude in the 65 to 80 km region. Thus the semidiurnal tide with long vertical wavelength is inferred to exist. Above 80 km, phase tilt occurs which indicates the contribution of the propagating diurnal component. Here the combination of dc and 12-hr component is fitted to the data below 80 km. The altitude profiles of the amplitude and phase of this semidiurnal component are shown.
