Linear Collider Physics List

Last modified :


Description

The linear collider physics list contains the physics processes, both electromagnetic and hadronic, required to run a linear collider detector simulation. The initial high-energy event must be provided by an event generator chosen by the user. This list represents the current best guess as to the appropriate models and processes for such detectors. As new or improved models become available the physics list will be updated.

A more detailed description of the physics list is available.

Getting the Physics List

The physics list directory can be downloaded as follows:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.freehep.org:/cvs/lcd co LCPhys

Test Modules (not yet implemented)

Several modules are provided as regression tests in order to compare physics results from release to release of Geant4. These modules are based on simplified detector geometries.

Validation (not yet implemented)

Validation tests are provided to compare physics results from experiments and test beams. These are based on realistic detector geometries. For each test a set of comparison plots are maintained.
