The Geant4 simulation toolkit is used by several experimental groups for detector design studies and detector beam test assessments. In the present era of increasingly detailed detectors, Geant4 plays a key role. It is required to undergo major improvements in both physics accuracy and computational performance. Calorimeter beam tests involve various particles at different energy scales and...
For the HL-LHC phase, the calorimeter endcap of the CMS detector will be upgraded with a High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), a sampling calorimeter that will use silicon sensors as well as scintillator tiles read out by silicon photomultipliers (SiPMs) as active material (SiPM-on-tile). The design of the SiPM-on-tile section was inspired by the CALICE AHCAL. The complete HGCAL will be...
