Electromagnetic Physics: Model Approach
● Current status:– ionization, bremsstrahlung, multiple scattering are coupled due
to reliance on pre-calculated energy loss tables ● Goal:
– de-couple them by abstracting common behavior– allow multiple physics models to be applied to each process – allow models to be defined for given geometric region or energy
● Example:– can choose G4MollerBhabhaModel for energy loss and
production of deltas by e+/e-– Or G4PAIModel for delta production by heavy charged particles

Electromagnetic Physics: Multiple Scattering
● Migration to Model Approach was to have been transparent to user, but bugs were introduced in Geant4 6.0
● width of angular distribution in MS became too large by 30%
● only muons and hadrons were affected
● electrons OK
● other bugs as well:
● mu ionization cross section 10% too small
● infinite loop for particles stopping in very low density gas
● Problems fixed by Geant4 6.1 => don't use 6.0!

Electromagnetic Physics: Multiple Scattering
● New features:
● improved transformation between geometric and true path length
● use Highland formula for Gaussian part of angular distribution for electrons
● option to allow backscattering at boundaries
● Plans:
● Develop MS processes which are specific to muons and ions

Electromagnetic Physics: Other Processes
● Mu ionization– addition of radiative corrections for energies above 1 GeV– accurarcy of energy loss at high energy improved from 10% to 2%
● Mu pair production– updated parameterizations for E > 1 TeV– Precision of diff. cross section parameterization improved from
30% to 5%● New processes:
– above 1 TeV)
– e+e- (high energy)
● Old EM processes kept in 52

Hadronic Physics Lists
● Choosing the right combination of models is a complex task: – many models to choose from
– must mix and match according to physics goals
● Hadronic physics lists developed to make the job easier– really just educated guesses
– meant as starting point for user to develop tailored physics list
● 24 hadronic physics lists currently provided– 19 physics lists categorized according to 14 use cases
– url: http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/~hpw/GHAD/HomePage/
– all can be downloaded and installed as part of toolkit in directory parallel to source

– full setup tests (full physics and full geometry)
Statistical testing– Too early, many models still under development
Regression– Some tests done currently, more are planned
