“…The particles' motion and physics interactions with the materials are simulated, and the energy deposit of each particle inside the scintillator is stored. Simulations of hadronic interactions are performed with the QGSP BERT physics list [40]. The energy deposit is converted into the number of photons.…”

Measurement of the inclusive ν µ charged current cross section on iron and hydrocarbon in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam We report a measurement of the νµ inclusive charged current cross sections on iron and hydrocarbon in the T2K on-axis neutrino beam. The measured inclusive charged current cross sections on iron and hydrocarbon averaged over the T2K on-axis flux with a mean neutrino energy of 1.51 GeV are (1.444 ± 0.002(stat.) +0.189 −0.157 (syst.)) × 10 −38 cm 2 /nucleon, and (1.379 ± 0.009(stat.) +0.178 −0.147 (syst.)) × 10 −38 cm 2 /nucleon, respectively, and their cross section ratio is 1.047 ± 0.007(stat.) ± 0.035(syst.). These results agree well with the predictions of neutrino interaction model and thus we checked the correct treatment of the nuclear effect for iron and hydrocarbon targets in the model within the measurement precisions.

We have developed simulation codes to handle electromagnetic process in Geant4 in an attempt to improve the accuracy of dose calculations for ion radiotherapy. Geant4 is a Monte Carlo simulation toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter, and capable of handling all physics processes including electromagnetic, hadronic and nucleus-nucleus interactions which are indispensable to calculate three-dimensional dose distributions in ion therapy. In this work we report the recent progress for Geant4 models for ions and new validation results, which were obtained for depth-dose distributions of carbon ions incident on water against experimental measurements. We found simulations to reproduce the experimental data fairly well.

HARP–CDP hadroproduction data: comparison with FLUKA and GEANT4 simulations

We report on the comparison of production characteristics of secondary protons and charged pions in the interactions of protons and charged pions with momentum between 3 GeV/c and 15 GeV/c with beryllium, copper, and tantalum nuclei, with simulations by the FLUKA program and the Geant4 tool kit. Overall production cross-sections are reasonably well reproduced, within factors of two. In more detail, there are areas with poor agreement that are unsatisfactory and call for modelling improvements. Overall, the current FLUKA simulation fares better than the current Geant4 simulation.
