MICE performance predicted using the cooling formula (CF):
G4MICE ≠ CF
(see prev CMs)
Simulation disagrees with C.F by up to 20%.
MS calc. typically approx.:
CF uses Rossi-Greisen (1941).
Somewhat crude.

SCATTERING IN SIMULATION CODE
Geant4: several different scattering models!
Urban (default), Wentzel-VI & CoulombScattering model
Compared with MuScat in *, Urban ‘worst’ of the 3.
Urban used by LHC sim. exps., quoted as 1% precision.
Used by MAUS – now builds with the latest version G4.9.5.p01.
ELMS
Uses knowledge of photoabsorption cooeffs to describe atomic structure.
Only for LH2, only useable through ICOOL at present...
Can we build a Monte Carlo using the Wentzel-Moliere Z-section?

* Geant4 models for simulation of multiple scattering V N Ivanchenko et al 2010 J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 219 032045
YES!
COBB-CARLISLE MODEL
New Monte Carlo Model, based on Wentzel-Moliere X-section
Simulates muons fired through block of absorber material.
Predicts .
Integrate over angle and thickness
Gives Nnucleus & Nelectron scatters.
E.g. for 10.9cm LH2 ~ 36,000 scatters (total).
Nuclear scattering angles distributed as:
Integrate over angle, solve:
Sum for all collisions = total scat. angle.
Can compare with MuScat results...

SUMMARY
Longstanding disagreement between Geant4/ICOOL & CF.
New Monte Carlo model. Simple, uses 4 parameters. Doesn’t incl. energy loss correlations (unlike
ELMS).
V. good agreement with LH2, less so at higher Z.
Unclear why! Thomas-Fermi model less accurate at low Z...
Need to explain atomic structure better encapsulated by .
Eq. Emittance lower than CF, ~20% less for LH2 – consistent with Geant4.
New Geant4.9.5.p01 to be tested shortly. How close to MuScat?
Step Length dependencies fixed?
Step IV can & should measure MS. Complement MuScat measurements.
Test of physics models.
Resolution covered @ CM32 – to be revisited.
