Ifyou are new to Geant4, we recommend that you read this documentfirst. The first part of the document provides a step-by-steptutorial in the use of Geant4; this is for a novice user. The secondpart describes the usage of the toolkit for practical applications,with a lot of example codes. After reading this part, you will beable to start to write a detector simulation program for mostapplications/experiments. The third part is for those who want tomake more advanced use of the toolkit.

This document is for those who want to contribute to the extensionof the functionality to the Geant4 toolkit - for example, to add anew physics process, to add a new particle, etc. It starts with theexplanation of the object-oriented analysis and design performed bythe original toolkit developers. Understanding this design ismandatory for a new toolkit developer. Then guidance on how toextend the functionality of each class category is given.


The Physics Reference Manual contains gaps in documentation whichcorrespond to un-implemented interactions. There are also a fewsections in which documentation is slight. Improvements in thesesections are expected by the next release.


If you have additional questions, please contact the Physics Student Services Office. Instructor assignments are subject to change. Please check the online schedule of classes on a regular basis for updates. Compare programs and find detailed degree requirements at the Academic Guide. View our course archives for previous years' classes and textbooks.


Discussion Section Switches

The Physics Department will not perform manual discussion section switches for students; we do not have the resources to accommodate these requests. Students must use CalCentral to perform the switch on their own.


This is the laboratory manual for the first course in the General Physics sequence. The course covers classical mechanics and is required of all students in science and engineering programs at Illinois Tech. All of the manuals are in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). Departmental policy is that these documents can be viewed but not printed in the laboratory rooms, so please print the manual beforehand.


These are documents that will help students with their preparation for the Physics 123 laboratory and with the completion of laboratory reports. All of the documents are in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF).


I was a graduate student when I taught my first class, a physics lab. There's nothing unusual in this; university physics departments often hand labs over to graduate students. It's a win-win, really. Departments need teachers, and grad students need experience.


The iOLab Manual for Scientists and Engineers provides 22 ready to use experiments, complete with video tutorials, for the first and second semester of a Calculus-based Physics course. Originally created by Tom Hemmick at SUNY Stonybrook to support distance learning for online University Physics Lab courses, the iOLab e-manual makes it easy for instructors to begin using the iOLab device in their online, hybrid, or face-to-face physics lab course.


This Guide is intended to provide a concise overview of the requirements and procedures of our graduate program in Physics and Astronomy. It is not intended to supplant in any way the regulations or requirements that are spelled out in LSU's General Catalog and Graduate Bulletin. Graduate students are expected to know and comply with the regulations of the Graduate School. In any instance where this Guide is in conflict with the Catalog or Bulletin, the Catalog or Bulletin information takes precedence. The Catalog and the Bulletin are available online at the web site of the LSU Graduate School.


The graduate program is designed to provide a general post-graduate education in Physics and/or Astronomy. At the PhD level, the goal of the program is to develop a professional-level competence in creative research. At the Master's level, the program is intended to provide a general competence in Physics and/or Astronomy suitable either for teaching or for technical employment in a related field. The department also offers a Masters Degree in Medical Physics and Health Physics, as well as a Medical Physics concentration for the PhD Degree, described in Appendix B and in much more detail on the Medical and Health Physics web pages.


The program has three phases. In the first phase, the emphasis is on coursework and the comprehensive Qualifying Examination. During this first phase, students are encouraged to participate in research, but are at the same time cautioned to observe the time limitations imposed by other requirements, including especially examination preparation.


Passing the Qualifying Examination allows the student to move into the second phase of their Ph.D. and focus more intensively on research under the direction of a major professor (also know as research advisor) who will be chosen by mutual consent, not assigned by the department. Typically, some advanced courses are still being taken at this point. The end of the second phase is marked by the passing of the General Examination, which includes an examination in the student's chosen field of study as well as the defense of a dissertation proposal. Coursework has usually been completed by the time of the General Examination. In the final phase, a student focuses their efforts on scholarly research leading to the thesis. A student concludes his degree program with a final defense in which the student defends their dissertation--the dissertation being the formal, written culmination of the student's research effort.


Most students receive support in the form of teaching assistantships, service assistantships, research assistantships, or fellowships. The purpose of these is to allow students to pursue full time studies in Physics and Astronomy without the distraction of seeking outside support, and to provide research and teaching experience. In the later stages of a student's career, a research assistantship or fellowship is intended to allow the student to devote full time to thesis research. Assistantships should not serve as impediments to the progress of a graduate student toward their degree. Likewise, graduate students should not think of assistantships as providing semi-permanent employment.


The procedures, regulations, and required standards of performance are described below under the headings of course-work, examinations, and research. Students interested in astronomy should read Appendix A of this guide, which describes the requirements of the astronomy program. Students interested in medical physics should read Appendix B of this guide but should also consult the Medical and Health Physics Trainee Handbook which takes precedence over this document in many respects.


Students seeking admission into the department should have at least thirty hours of fundamental undergraduate courses in physics including General Physics, Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, and more advanced topics such as Quantum Mechanics (two semesters), Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics, Atomic Physics, and Nuclear Physics. Courses in mathematics through differential equations and linear algebra are also required. Students with gaps in their physics or mathematics preparation should take undergraduate courses as necessary to fill in these gaps before proceeding to the corresponding graduate level courses.


To be considered full-time, a student must be registered for at least 9 credit hours, of which at least 6 must be at the "graduate level", numbered 4000 or higher. Students on academic probation may be subject to stricter requirements.


No student on an assistantship or fellowship from Physics and Astronomy may register for more than one course per semester (2 per year) outside the department without special approval from the major professor and Departmental Graduate Advisor (not including required English courses for foreign students). At any point in the student's career, the cumulative number of courses outside the department will always be expected to be less than the number of courses the students have taken in Physics and Astronomy.


Students who enter our program after successfully completing graduate courses in Physics at another US university with an A or B grade may petition to have such courses used to partially fulfill our department's course requirements, provided the courses have substantially the same content. The student must provide a full description of the course and the textbook used. Such petitions will be handled on a case-by-case basis and will be decided by the Graduate Student Advisor and the Department Associate Chair.


There is a set of basic Physics courses (Core courses) that students are required to take. These courses constitute a general introduction to graduate-level physics. Students are urged to take them at their earliest opportunity:


Prereq.: PHYS 2203 or 4141. Nuclear and particle properties, abundance and stability of nuclei, strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, nuclear instrumentation, particle accelerators and detectors, nuclear reactions, and particle and nuclear astrophysics.


Prereq.: PHYS 7211. PHYS 7411 is prerequisite for PHYS 7412. Basic numerical techniques for solution of mathematical equations, including coupled linear algebraic and differential equations, and numerical simulation techniques; emphasis on application to physical problems.


For the PhD degree in physics, the department requires that a student pass the Qualifying Examination, General Examination, and Final Defense. The student must take the Qualifying Exam (described in the next section below) at least once in the first year of graduate study. They must pass the Qualifying Exam by the end of the fourth semester completed at LSU with a 60% or higher grade. They also must fulfill these course requirements: (1) 22 hours of core courses that carry numbers greater than 7000. Exceptionally, courses from outside the department (for example chemistry or engineering) may be substituted for the advanced course requirement.
