Angular distributions of charged particles obtained with Geant4 simulation are compared with experimental data and with the Highland parametrisation.

Abstract The estimate of the total electron yield is fundamental for our understanding test-mass charging associated with cosmic rays in Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) Pathfinder mission and forthcoming gravitational wave observatory LISA. To unveil role low energy electrons this process owing to galactic solar energetic particle events, work we study interaction keV sub-keV a gold s...

The energy deposition on the ISIS muon target and the temperature profiles are analysed in this paper. The thermal modelling is performed using the GEANT4 Monte Carlo code. Heat deposition patterns are also simulated for alternative target geometries. Energy deposition in the collimators is also discussed.

Using Geant4 Monte-Carlo simulations the potential of the Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy (LENA) liquid scintillator detector for the investigation of a possible proton decay within the channel p → Kν is discussed. Special emphasis is given to the study of background events.

In this paper we present the results of GEANT4 simulations of the production of surface muons as a function of energy of the incident protons on a graphite target. A validation of the GEANT4 hadronic physics models has been performed by comparing the results with experimental data from the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, United States. Considering the ISIS muon target as a reference, simulations...

The need for proliferation-resistance, longer fuel cycles, higher burn up and improvedwaste form characteristics has led to a renewed worldwide interest in thorium-based fuels and fuel cycles. In this paper the GEANT4 Monte Carlo code has been used to simulate the Thorium-Uranium fuel cycle. The accelerator driven fertile to fissile conversion rates have been calculated for various geometries. ...

An algorithm has been developed for the GEANT4 Monte-Carlo package for the efficient computation of screened Coulomb interatomic scattering. It explicitly integrates the classical equations of motion for scattering events, resulting in precise tracking of both the projectile and the recoil target nucleus. The algorithm permits the user to plug in an arbitrary screening function, such as Lens-Je...

We discuss several features of hadronic showers recorded in the high granularity CALICE Si-W ECAL and scintillator-tile HCAL and confront them with several Geant4 physics models. The first measurements of the time-structure of hadronic showers in a tungsten scintillator calorimeter are presented. The high granularity of the CALICE calorimeters allows a software compensation which improves the e...
