چکیده
This paper presents the status of Monte Carlo simulation of one of the luminosity detectors considered for the future e + e − International Linear Collider (ILC). The detector consists of a tungsten/silicon sandwich calorimeter with pad readout. The study was performed for Bhabha scattering events assuming a zero crossing angle for the beams.

Search for 4th family quarks with the ATLAS detector
The pair production of heavy fourth-generation quarks, which are predicted under the hypothesis of flavor democracy, is studied using tree-level Monte Carlo generators and fast detector simulation. Two heavy-quark mass values, 500 and 750GeV, are considered with the assumption that the fourth family mixes primarily with the two light families. It is shown that a clear signature will be observed...

W-pair production in ee annihilation at 500 GeV is studied using different Monte Carlo generators and the proposed detector for the Linear Collider in its TESLA version. Semileptonic W decays are used to give hints for the detector optimization and to determine the expected accuracy of the W mass determination and the measurement of the anomalous triple gauge boson couplings. With an expected l...
متن کاملA Study of the Top Quark Production Threshold at a Future Electron-Positron Linear Collider
One of the most important physics targets for any future electron positron linear collider will be the precision measurements of the top quark properties, and especially the top quark mass. Top-antitop production at threshold provides the ideal environment for making such measurements but is complicated by the machine’s luminosity spectrum and thus needs to be carefully studied to understand th...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Study for Photoneutron Dose Estimations around the High-Energy Linacs
Background: High-energy linear accelerator (linac) is a valuable tool and the most commonly device for external beam radiation treatments in cancer patients. In the linac head, high-energy photons with energies above the threshold of interaction produce photoneutrons. These photoneutrons deliver the extra dose to the patients in the planning treatment and increase the risk of secondary cancer.O...

The contribution gives an overview of the LCFIVertex package, providing software tools for high-level event reconstruction at the International Linear Collider using vertexdetector information. The package was validated using a fast Monte Carlo simulation. Performance obtained with a more realistic GEANT4-based detector simulation and realistic tracking code is presented. The influence of hadro...
