Recent Improvements on the Description of Hadronic Interactions in Geant4

OSTI ID:1042663

We present an overview of recent improvements of hadronic models in Geant4 for the physics configurations (Physics Lists) relevant to applications in high energy experiments. During last year the improvements have concentrated on the study of unphysical discontinuities in calorimeter observables in the transition regions between the models used in Physics Lists. The microscopic origin of these have been investigated, and possible improvements of Geant4 code are currently under validation. In this paper we discuss the status of the latest version of Geant4 with emphasis on the most promising new developments, namely the Fritiof based and CHIPS Physics Lists.
