2. # 30: Manpower and resource plans Recommendation: “We recommend that Geant4 develop manpower and resource plans for the next five years. They should be consistent with timely delivery of features and capabilities to the user community.” Response: Plans for 2009 and 2010-12 have been drafted for maintenance, development and validation in ElectroMagnetic, Hadronic and Geometry areas.Geometry Preparing working plans for 2009 and 2010-12 – Identifying areas where missing or additional manpower is required for timely delivery of new models, capabilities, for validation or improvements.

3. #30 (cont.) Profile of Geant4 Collaboration Institutions – HEP Labs: CERN, KEK/Japan Univ., SLAC, TRIUMF – and FNAL – HEP Funding agency grouped: IN2P3, INFN, STFC – ESA – Institutes / Universities HIP, LIP - and Sevilla Individual members – Contributors from additional institutions/labs CIEMAT, DESY (Zeuthen), – Contributors from existing ‘tools’ INCL team: Liege, CEA

4. #30 Considerations – Contributors profile – Contribution type

5. #31: Seeking manpower Recommendation 31: “We recommend that Geant4 seek the additional support implied by the manpower and resource plans from all available sources.” Response: US proposals – A proposal is being readied to submit to the US DoE for funding for Geant4 development and maintenance for HEP applications. – Pursuing funding for Geant4 medical physics applications from US NIH. – Pursuing funding for head-to-head comparison between Geant4 and MCNPX from US DHS. Participation of CERN in EU-funded projects: obtained 2 PhD students – Effect of neutrons on gas detectors (including validation of key neutron physics) ( MC-PAD project “ESR”=early stage researcher) – Validation for hadrontherapy (PARTNER). 3 ESA technology programs for 2009-10 Support for sub-micrometer dosimetry / Geant4-DNA – Funded for 2009 by Region Acquiataine and CNRS (France) – Further future funding being sought (2 proposals) FJPPL: France – Japan Particle Physics Laboratory (started in 2007) – collaboration for travel, brief stays.
