The ILC Detector Simulation FAQ

General

Why are detector simulations needed?

• compare proposed detector technologies (before test beam)
  • calorimeter examples - RPC, GEM, scintillator, Silicon, lead tungstate, hybrid
• compare full detector designs
• compare MC with test beam results to understand both
• compare, test, debug reconstruction and analysis algorithms
• optimize design of subsystems, subdetectors
• understand role of dead material in affecting physics processes
• understand effects of hardware inefficiencies such as cross-talk, dead cells, etc.
• understand effects of backgrounds
• establish an infrastructure for the actual detector experiment(s)

What groups are involved with ILC detector simulations?

...

The weekly LCD software meeting for discussing all aspects of detector simulations and analysis and reconstruction. This meeting takes place every Tuesday at 1:30 PST, unless cancelled.
