EXO
I'm pretty sure EXO is not a high-energy experiment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.224.118.158 (talk) 23:40, 28 December 2009 (UTC)


 * EXO searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay. Although that is a nuclear process, it is a process that can only occur if the neutrino is a Majorana particle, which is a prediction of some high-energy theories. So it a high-energy experiment in the sense that it's chief goal is to test high-energy theories. Jasondet (talk) 23:15, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Merge or not?
Maybe one should not write an article for a specific version of GEANT, but rather GEANT itself. – Ylai 01:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Geant4 itself is a separate product (a library of classes), not a version of GeantX. It has versions like Geant4 v.6.0. There exists also Geant3 that was written in Fortran, whereas Geant4 is written in C++ and is absolutely different from the point of view of programming technology. The physics inside is (almost) the same, but it is not surprising: we have only one version of the nature. V1adis1av 13:46, 22 December 2005 (UTC)


 * The trouble is however, that GEANT (program) also (and actually mostly) covers Geant4. Therefore there is redundancy, or GEANT (program) should be rewritten to cover only Fortran GEANT. &mdash; Ylai 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Geant (disambiguation). Problem solved, all rejoice. :) Add there references that I omitted, please... --Yuriy Lapitskiy 22:20, 27 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've tried to reduce the redundancy a bit by moving the "Some experiments using Geant4" section from GEANT (program) to Geant4. --128.112.85.122 14:59, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Please read the Geant4 web page, http://cern.ch/geant4, before writing anything. The brand name of Geant4 is "Geant4", but not "GEANT 4". And Geant4 is developed by the international collaboration, not by CERN itself.


 * The problem is still that GEANT (program) redirects to GEANT-3. There it sounds like it just an earlier version of the same program, which is why a merge might make sense. Better to have one article with citations so it would survive a deletion request. But perhaps the older code is still in use by Fortran users? I do see http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/scientific6/cert/sub/pkgGEANT3.shtml perhaps. So any other opinions on if they should stay separate? One issue I have is that the European Internet consortium also seems to share the same acronym, see GÉANT. W Nowicki (talk) 17:51, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Rewritten in C++
Is this a suitable candidate for Category:Software that was rewritten in C++? Of course, the predecessor GEANT-3 was not written in C, but in Fortran 77 – but so was PYTHIA, which is also a member of said category. --2001:16B8:171C:D300:95A3:D60:11A4:D3C5 (talk) 23:21, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
