Physics validation of the simulation packages in a LHC-wide effort

A. Ribon

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

In the framework of the LCG Simulation Physics Validation Project, we present comparison studies between the Geant4 and FLUKA shower packages and LHC subdetector test-beam data.Emphasis is given to the response of LHC calorimeters to electrons, photons, muons and pions.Results of "simple-benchmark" studies, where the above simulation packages are compared to data from nuclear facilities, are also shown.
