An Updated Description of Heavy-Hadron Interactions in Geant-4

چکیده
Exotic stable massive particles (SMP) are proposed in a number of scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model. It is important that LHC experiments are able both to detect and extract the quantum numbers of any SMP with masses around the TeV scale. To do this, an understanding of the interactions of SMPs in matter is required. In this paper a Regge-based model of R-hadron scattering is extended and implemented in Geant-4. In addition, the implications of R-hadron scattering for collider searches are discussed. PACS. 24.10.Lx Monte Carlo simulations – 14.80.Ly Supersymmetric partners of known particles.

Signatures of long-lived colored sparticles
In this paper an updated Geant-4 simulation toolkit is presented describing the interactions in matter of heavy hadrons containing long-lived squarks and gluinos. Generic signatures are derived that are applicable at the Large Hadron Collider, and the problem of theoretical uncertainties arising from model dependence is addressed. For a more detailed description of the assumptions and technique...

متن کاملScattering of Heavy Stable Exotic Hadrons
The observation of exotic stable massive particles (SMPs) with electric, magnetic or colour charge (or combinations thereof) would be of fundamental significance. Searches are therefore routinely made for SMPs bound in matter, and for SMPs at cosmic ray and collider experiments [1, 2, 3, 4]. Furthermore, SMPs with masses at the TeV scale are anticipated in a number of beyond-the-Standard-Model ...
متن کاملSecondary Particles Produced by Hadron Therapy
Introduction Use of hadron therapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique is increasing. In this method, secondary particles are produced through primary beam interactions with the beam-transport system and the patient’s body. In this study, Monte Carlo simulations were employed to determine the dose of produced secondary particles, particularly neutrons during treatment. Materials and Methods I...
متن کاملHadron Therapy in Iran: Patient Indication Estimation and Challenges Ahead
Introduction: Radiotherapy with heavy charged particles such as protons and carbon ions (hadron therapy) has been recognized as an advanced technique for the treatment of various cancers. For some indications such as pediatric and radio-resistant tumors, it is considered the preferred method. However, despite its remarkable benefits, development of hadron therapy centers in the...
