Validation of Geant4 physics models using collision data from the LHC

Journal Article Banerjee, S. - J.Phys.Conf.Ser.

CMS experiment has designed a strategy to validate GEANT4 physics models using collision data from the Large Hadron Collider. Isolated charged particles are measured simultaneously in the tracker as well as in the calorimeters. These events are selected using dedicated triggers and are used to measure the response in the calorimeter. Measurements of mean response, resolution, energy sharing between the electromagnetic and hadron calorimeters, shower shapes are directly compared with predictions from the Monte Carlo. Single particle response is also used in calibrating the calorimeters and in improving jet energy measurements. GEANT4 physics models are also used to understand themore »« less

Accuracy of the photon and electron physics in GEANT4 for radiotherapy applications

Journal Article Poon, Emily ; Verhaegen, Frank - Medical Physics

This work involves a validation of the photon and electron transport of the GEANT4 particle simulation toolkit for radiotherapy physics applications. We examine the cross sections and sampling algorithms of the three electromagnetic physics models in version 4.6.1 of the toolkit: Standard, Low-energy, and Penelope. The depth dose distributions in water for incident monoenergetic and clinical beams are compared to the EGSNRC results. In photon beam simulations, all three models agree with EGSNRC to within 2%, except for the buildup region. Larger deviations are found for incident electron beams, and the differences are affected by user-imposed electron step limitations. Particlemore »« less

Geant4 hadronic physics validation with ATLAS Tile Calorimeter test-beam data

Journal Article Alexa, C. ; Constantinescu, S. ; Dita, S. - AIP Conference Proceedings

We present comparison studies between Geant4 shower packages and ATLAS Tile Calorimeter test-beam data collected at CERN in H8 beam line at the SPS. Emphasis is put on hadronic physics lists and data concerning differences between Tilecal response to pions and protons of same energy. The ratio between the pure hadronic fraction of pion and the pure hadronic fraction of proton F{sub h}{sup {pi}}/F{sub h}{sup p} was estimated with Tilecal test-beam data and compared with Geant4 simulations.

Recent Developments and Validations in Geant4 Hadronic Physics

Journal Article Wright, Dennis H. ; Koi, Tatsumi ; Folger, Gunter ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

The Geant4 hadronic models cover the entire range of energies required by calorimeters in new and planned experiments. The extension and improvement of the elastic, cascade, parameterized and quark-gluon string models will be discussed. Such improvements include the extension to more particle types, a review and correction of cross sections, and a better treatment of energy and momentum conservation. Concurrent with this development has been a validation program which includes comparisons with double differential cross sections. An ongoing hadronic shower validation will also be discussed which includes the examination of longitudinal shower shapes and the performance of the above modelsmore »« less

GEANT4: Applications in High Energy Physics

Journal Article Mahmood, Tariq ; Zafar, Abrar Ahmed ; Hussain, Talib ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

GEANT4 is a detector simulation toolkit aimed at studying, mainly experimental high energy physics. In this paper we will give an overview of this software with special reference to its applications in high energy physics experiments. A brief of process methods is given. Object-oriented nature of the simulation toolkit is highlighted.
