Physics Validation of LHC Simulations
نویسنده
چکیده
A review of the strategy and the results for the physics validation of Geant4 and Fluka detector simulation engines for LHC applications is presented. The main focus is on hadronic physics, where most of the efforts are currently concentrated. In particular, comparisons between simulation and test-beam data for the most relevant calorimeter observables, for different experiments and detector technologies, are discussed.

Development of the EvtGen package for the LHC and ATLAS
The EvtGen package has been developed for the LHC experiments within the LCG project. The adaptation of the package to the LHC context has necessitated effort in both physics and software. Interfaces have been created to enable the use of EvtGen within the simulation and datahandling frameworks of the LHC experiments. Modifications have been made to meet the requirements of simulating beauty ev...
متن کاملB Physics at LHC
Three experiments, among the LHC project, are getting ready to explore the b quark flavour sector. While ATLAS and CMS are general purpose experiments, where the study of B mesons is going to proceed in parallel with the Higgs boson and supersymmetry searches, the LHCb experiment is devoted to B physics studies. The key parameters entering the physics analyses and the performances achieved in a...
متن کاملقیدهای تک Z روی مدل ماده تاریک فرمیونی با واسطه شبه اسکالر در LHC
In this research we study the Mono-Z signature along with dark matter production at the LHC in a renormalizable dark matter model. We look at processes with L+L-+MET in the final state. We simulate signal and background events at central mass energy 14 TeV We then evaluate the LHC sensitivities for some points in the model parameter space for two integrated luminosities L=100 fb-1 and L=1 ab-1 ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo event generator validation and tuning for the LHC
I summarise the motivation for, and the status of, the tools developed by CEDAR/MCnet for validating and tuning Monte Carlo event generators for the LHC against data from previous colliders. I then present selected preliminary results from studies of event shapes and hadronisation observables from ee colliders, and of minimum bias and underlying event observables from the Tevatron, and comment ...
متن کاملOn the maximal use of Monte Carlo samples: re-weighting events at NLO accuracy
Accurate Monte Carlo simulations for high-energy events at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, are very expensive, both from the computing and storage points of view. We describe a method that allows to consistently re-use parton-level samples accurate up to NLO in QCD under different theoretical hypotheses. We implement it in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO and show its validation by applying it to several cases ...
