FERMILAB - Conf - 04 / 053 - AD April 2004 RECENT ENHANCEMENTS TO THE MARS 15 CODE
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MARS code is under continuous development and has recently undergone substantial improvements that further increase its reliability and predictive power in numerous shielding, accelerator, detector and space applications. The major developments and new features of the MARS15 (2004) version described in this paper concern an extended list of elementary particles and arbitrary heavy ions and their interaction cross-sections, inclusive and exclusive nuclear event generators, module for modelling particle electromagnetic interactions, enhanced geometry and histograming options, improved MAD-MARS Beam Line Builder, enhanced Graphical-User Interface, and an MPI-based parallelization of the code. __________________________ Presented paper at the 10 International Conference on Radiation Shielding, Funchal (Madeira), Portugal, May 9-14, 2004.

MAD-MARS Beam-Line Builder (MMBLB) is a tool that helps MARS15 build models of accelerator lattices and beam lines using the MAD-generated optics descriptions. This mode is especially powerful in beam loss, collimation, backgrounds and shielding studies at the existing and new accelerators and beam transport lines. Many applications works using this tool have been performed such as Main Injecto...
متن کاملFERMILAB-Conf-04/056-AD April 2004 ON THE THEORY AND SIMULATION OF MULTIPLE COULOMB SCATTERING OF HEAVY CHARGED PARTICLES
The Moliere theory of multiple Coulomb scattering is modified to take into account difference between scattering off atomic nuclei and electron. A simple analytical expression for angular distribution of charged particles passing through a thick absorber is found. It does not assume any special form for a differential scattering cross section and has wider range of applicability than a Gaussian...
متن کاملB-decays in the heavy-quark expansion
Progress in the theoretical description of B-meson decays, in particular decays to light hadrons, is reviewed. The factorization properties of such decays can be analyzed using the softcollinear effective theory. Applications of the effective theory to both inclusive and exclusive decays are discussed.

متن کاملfastNLO: Fast pQCD Calculations for PDF Fits
We present a method for very fast repeated computations of higher-order cross sections in hadron-induced processes for arbitrary parton density functions. A full implementation of the method for computations of jet cross sections in Deep-Inelastic Scattering and in Hadron-Hadron Collisions is offered by the “fastNLO” project. A web-interface for online calculations and user code can be found at...
