Description
Monitoring radiation background is a crucial task for the operation of LHC
experiments. A project is in progress at CERN for the optimisation of the radiation
monitors for LHC experiments. A general, flexibly configurable simulation system
based on Geant4, designed to assist the engineering optimisation of LHC radiation
monitor detectors, is presented. Various detector packaging configurations are
studied through their Geant4-based simulation, and their behaviour is compared. A
quantitative validation of Geant4 electromagnetic and hadronic models relevant to LHC
radiation background monitoring is presented; the results are based on rigorous
statistical methods applied to the comparison of Geant4 simulatin results and
experimental data from dedicated test-beams.
