Test & Analysis Prototype

Test & Analysis is a project to develop a statistical analysis system for usage in Geant4 testing.
A prototype has been developed to address some initial risks, by exploring:
The prototype has explored a simple use case: Comparison between simulation results and a reference database

In the plot above, range of electrons in Be: difference (%) between Geant4 standard/ LowE simulation and NIST reference data; the straight lines represent the error affecting the reference data, depending on the energy interval.
The prototype has confirmed the validity of the choice of Python, which allows powerful manipulations of data, in a simple and user-friendly development environment.
Concerns have emerged about the availability of tools for statistical analysis in the Anaphe toolkit, such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The close collaboration established with the Anaphe team makes us confident that such requirements will be addressed; this should be the topic of a discussion with Anaphe developers during the Geant4 Workshop.
