The harsh radiation environment in which detectors will have to operate during the High Luminosity phase of The electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL) of the CMS experiment at the LHC is a homogeneous calorimeter made of 75848 lead tungstate (PbWO_4) scintillating crystals, designed for high precision electron and photon energy measurements in hadron collisions at the TeV scale. The detailed...
The design and optimization of the Electromagnetic Calorimeter(ECAL) are crucial for the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) project, a proposed Higgs/Z factory with the total circumference of 100km. Following the reference design of the International Large Detector, a set of silicon-tungsten and scintillator-tungsten sampling ECAL geometries have been implemented into the Geant4...
The Geant4 Collaboration released a new generation of the Geant4 simulation toolkit (version 10) in December 2013. Since then, the Collaboration continues to improve its physics and computing performance and usability. This presentation will survey the major improvements made since version 10.0. On the physics side, it includes new multiple scattering models, Auger atomic de-excitation cascade...
We report on recent progress in the Geant4 electromagnetic (EM) physics sub-packages.
New interfaces and models introduced in Geant4 10.3 (December, 2016) are already
tried in LHC applications and may be useful for any type of Monte Carlo simulation.
Additional developments for EM physics are already available with the recent public
version Geant4 10.4beta (June, 2017) and will be included in...
The CALICE Semi-Digital Hadronic Calorimeter technological prototype is a sampling calorimeter using Glass Resistive Plate Chamber detectors with a three-threshold readout as the active medium. This technology is one of the two options proposed for the hadronic calorimeter of the International Large Detector for the International Linear Collider. The prototype was exposed to beams of muons,...
The Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector at the India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is a proposed 50 kton magnetised iron detector optimised for the detection of atmospheric muon neutrinos (and anti-neutrinos). These neutrinos interact with the target iron via both charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) interactions. The CC interactions produce a muon and hadrons in the final state,...
Ever increasing collision energies in current and future colliders demand for radiation hard calorimeters. Calorimeters based on secondary electron emission process from dynode metals was proposed in 1990s as radiation hard alternative to overcome this difficulty. Since the discovery of secondary emission of electrons from metal surfaces, there has been many approaches to quantify this process...
