The following is a list of Geant4-related Presentations and Posters for the AAPM 52nd Annual Meeting at Philadelphia

The list is not comprehensive; some presentations have likely been missed.  Additions and corrections are welcome (email to perl@slac.stanford.edu).

The list was made by querying the G4NAMU mailing list then searching abstracts by title (content search is not possible) for key words (Geant4, Geant4, Monte, Simulat, GATE, Proton, Carbon and Neutron) and then reading abstracts, individually querying some of the authors where necessary.  Past experience indicates a handful of talks may have evaded detection.
