SIMDET - Version 4 A Parametric Monte Carlo for a TESLA Detector
نویسنده
چکیده
A new release of the parametric detector Monte Carlo program SIMDET (version 4.01) is now available. We describe the principles of operation and the usage of this program to simulate the response of a detector for the TESLA linear collider. The detector components are implemented according to the TESLA Technical Design Report. All detector component responses are treated in a realistic way using a parametrisation of results from the ab initio Monte Carlo program BRAHMS. Pattern recognition is emulated using a complete cross reference between generated particles and detector response. Also, for charged particles, the covariance matrix and dE/dx information are made available. An idealised energy flow algorithm defines the output of the program, consisting of particles generically classified as electrons, photons, muons, charged and neutral hadrons as well as unresolved clusters. The program parameters adjustable by the user are described in detail. User hooks inside the program and the output data structure are documented.

W-pair production in ee annihilation at 500 GeV is studied using different Monte Carlo generators and the proposed detector for the Linear Collider in its TESLA version. Semileptonic W decays are used to give hints for the detector optimization and to determine the expected accuracy of the W mass determination and the measurement of the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings. With an expected l...

Introduction: Crosstalk is a leakage of X-ray or light produced in a matrix of X-ray detectors or array of photodiodes in one element to other elements affecting on image contrast and spatial resolution. In this study, we assessed X-ray crosstalk in a computed tomography (CT) scanner with small detector elements to estimate the effect of various parameters such as X-ray tube voltage, detector e...
