On the design of experiments based on plastic scintillators using GEANT4 simulations
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-12)
Plastic scintillators are widely used as particle detectors in many fields, mainly, medicine, particle physics and astrophysics. Traditionally, they are coupled to a photo-multiplier (PMT) but now silicon photo-multipliers ...
Geant4 simulation of the solar neutron telescope at Sierra Negra, Mexico
(Elsevier Science, 2010-02)
The solar neutron telescope (SNT) at Sierra Negra (19.0°N, 97.3°W and 4580 m.a.s.l) is part of a worldwide network of similar detectors (Valdés-Galicia et al., (2004) [1]). This SNT has an area of 4 m2; it is composed by ...
Efficient discrete-event based particle tracking simulation for high energy physics
(Elsevier Science, 2021-01)
This work presents novel discrete event-based simulation algorithms based on the Quantized State System (QSS) numerical methods. QSS provides attractive features for particle transportation processes, in particular a very ...
Modeling scintillator and WLS fiber signals for fast Monte Carlo simulations
(Elsevier Science, 2010-03)
In this work we present a fast, robust and flexible procedure to simulate electronic signals of scintillator units: plastic scintillator material embedded with a wavelength shifter optical fiber coupled to a photo-multiplier ...
A co-simulation technique for efficient particle tracking using hybrid numerical methods with application in high energy physics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2018)
Particle tracking in physical systems is a well known simulation challenge in many domains. In particular, High Energy Physics (HEP) demand efficient simulations of charged particles moving throughout complex detector ...
Application of State Quantization-Based Methods in HEP Particle Transport Simulation
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017-11)
Simulation of particle-matter interactions in complex geometries is one of the main tasks in high energy physics (HEP) research. An essential aspect of it is an accurate and efficient particle transportation in a non-uniform ...
Simulation of 500 MeV neutrons by using NaCl doped Water Cherenkov detector
(Elsevier, 2020-05)
In this work we show the capabilities of a water Cherenkov detector (WCD) to detect high energy neutrons. We present the simulation of the response of a doped WCD to 500 MeV monochromatic neutrons using Geant4. To do this, ...
Analysis of x-ray emission and electron dynamics in a capillary-guided laser wakefield accelerator
(American Physical Society, 2014-05-19)
The dynamics of electron acceleration driven by laser wakefield inside a 30.5 mm long dielectric capillary tube is analyzed using radiation emitted in the x-ray range. 3D particle-in-cell simulations, performed with ...
The mass composition of cosmic rays near 1018 eV as deduced from measurements made at Volcano Ranch
(Elsevier Science, 2004-09)
Linsley used the Volcano Ranch array to collect data on the lateral distribution of showers produced by cosmic rays at energies above 1017 eV. Very precise measurements of the steepness of the lateral distribution function ...
