This page is intended to list and discuss the abstract that the BeamTest team want to submit to conferences
5th Geant4 Space Users' Workshop, Tokio 13-15 February 2008 (web)
Proposed abstract (on behalf of the GLAST LAT CA group)
Validation of Geant4 Simulation of the GLAST LAT Telescope
GLAST is an international mission to study the high energy gamma-ray sky.
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a pair conversion instrument dedicated
to the stody of the sky from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV. GLAST is
expected to launch in May 08. Its performance has been evaluated using a
detailed G4 simulation included in a complex software framework.
The validation of the electromagnetic and hadronic processes was done on
an extensive beam test at CERN in 2006. Results and concerns are presented.
