An overview of recent developments for the Geant4 hadronic modeling is provided with a focus on the start of the LHC experiments. Improvements in Pre-Compound model, Binary and Bertini cascades, models of elastic scattering, quark-gluon string and Fritiof high energy models, and low-energy neutron transport were introduced using validation versus data from thin target experiments. Many of...

We compare two approaches to the combining of signal significances:
the approach, in which the signal significances are considered
as corresponding random variables, and the approach with the using
of confidence distributions. Several signal significances, which are
often used in analysis of data in experimental physics as a measure
of excess of the observed or expected number of...

Radiative corrections to processes of single Z and W boson production
are obtained within the SANC computer system. Interplay of one-loop
QCD and electroweak corrections is studied. Higher order QED final
state radiation is taken into account. Monte Carlo event generators
at the hadronic level are constructed. Matching with general purpose
programs like HERWIG and PYTHIA is performed to...
