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. — 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.
