【 摘 要 】

A small experiment must devote its limited computing expertise to writing physics code directly applicable to the experiment. A software "framework" is essential for providing an infrastructure that makes writing the physics-relevant code easy. In this paper, we describe a highly modular and easy to use framework for writing Geant4 based simulations called "artg4". This framework is a layer on top of the art framework.
