Abstract :
Recent work on the validation of Geant4 hadronic physics is presented. The focus is mainly on simple thin-target measurements, which allow a clean and detailed study of single hadronic interactions. In particular, two analyses are discussed: neutron production double-differential cross-sections, and pixel tracker test beam.
