The FastCaloSim calorimeter simulation was developed to provide a reasonably accurate but still fast simulation of the ATLAS calorimeter system. Parameterizations of electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter showers are used to deposit particle energies in the detailed calorimeter structure. In the present document a short overview of the fast calorimeter simulation principle is presented. This ...

Performance-based design of the timber structures' fire resistance is often based on reduced cross section and thus relying empirical numerical assessment charring propagation. The current work aims to construct models for pyrolysis spruce pinewoods allow coupled simulations cross-section reduction burning rate in models. Kinetic are formulated thermogravimetric data supported by heats combusti...

An improved weighting algorithm applied to hadron showers has been developed for a fine grained LAr calorimeter. The new method uses tabulated weights which depend on the density of energy deposited in individual cells and in a surrounding cone whose symmetry axis connects the interaction vertex with the highest energy cluster in the shower induced by a hadron. The weighting of the visible ener...
