Validation of Geant4 (V4.2) for GLAST-LAT • Comparison with Theory, Beam Test Data and EGS4 – • S. Ogata, T. Mizuno, H. Mizushima (Hiroshima/SLAC) • P. Valtersson, M. Sjogren (Royal Inst. of Tech/SLAC) • T. Kamae, H. Tajima (SLAC) • (Note) • This report covers the work done between Dec. 2000 to Nov. 2001 at SLAC. Note that similar work has been in progress in Italy. • Our focus has been in the electromagnetic processes. • (Contents) • Comparison with Theory • Comparison with Results of Beam Test Engineering Model • Comparison with EGS4
Bethe-Bloch Formula Default Geant4 parameters used in the study (exception: EM shower study)
Multiple Scattering (G4 vs. BTEM: Proton) No.1
Multiple Scattering (G4 vs. BTEM: Proton) No.2
No. Hits (G4 vs. BTEM) Positron at 0 deg)
No. Hits (G4 vs. BTEM) Positron at 30 deg)
EM Shower (G4 vs EGS4): Energy Leakage after 20RL
Conclusion • Validation of Geant4 (V4.2) for GLAST-LAT • Comparison with Theory, Beam Test Data and EGS4 – • (Note) • This report covers the work done between Dec. 2000 to Nov. 2001 at SLAC. Note that similar work has been in progress in Italy. • Our focus has been in the electromagnetic processes. • (Conclusion) • Geant4 is as good as any existing EM simulator now • Implement in BFEM G4 and study effects of proposed fixes (angular distr.)
