Suggested reading: this is not well described in the book. Chap 9.4.3 in the statistics book
has a few details. Better to follow a class with the world-famous Lund phenomenologists

Today’s topics
• Simulation, Monte Carlo (MC) and why we use it
• MC generators
– Examples
– Different specialities
• Detector simulation
– GEANT
• Performance, some examples

Why simulation?
We want to be able to comparedata to expectations”Virtual experiment”
”Simulation” typically consists of two steps: Event generation ”Monte Carlo”
Calculations, hadronization 4-vectors of final state particles
Detector simulation + digitization The particles’ paths through the detector
material Detector and electronic response

The Monte Carlo method”Monte Carlo” refers to any numerical method that uses random numbers in order to simulate probabilistic processes
Cross section randomly sampled over phase space. Method
governed by the Central Limit Theorem: errors ∝1
N
5*In particle physics applications: Random numbers represent QM choices
Select x at random* according to f(x)
Integral I = x1x2f x dx = (x2-x1)<f(x)>

Detector simulation
• Next step is simulating the particles paths through the detector:
– Tracking chambers, calorimeters, muon system
– but also cables, cooling pipes etc
– and also faulty detector modules/electronics!
• Takes time: need to simulate all interactions, ionization, energy deposits, secondary interactions and decays, scattering …
• Mostly used: GEANT4 a C++ program. Takes as input 4-vectors from event generators and outputs ”raw data”
• Takes up to 10 mins/event! Short-cut Fast simulation: Smear the 4-vectors instead of calorimeter simulation

Digitization
36
Before we are ready to run the same reconstruction algorithms as on data, the GEANT output needs to be digitizedThat is, converting the simulated hits in detectors into signals in read-out electronicsAlso trigger simulation can be done at this level
Time consumption dominated by inner detector (most channels)

Putting it all together
MC is not the truth! – tests/validation necessary
Some features are time-dependent ie amount of pile-up, technical problems with the detector, center of mass energy etc
38
Need to update (and test!) the simulation regularly

Although less meticulous, the fast simulation can be easily tuned to GEANT – or to data!

Summary• Most processes are impractical or impossible to calculate
analytically
– Therefore we use simulation to prepare for analysis
• Two steps: event generation (the physics process) and detector simulation (interaction with materials + electronics)
– Several choices when it comes to event generators. Each have the pros and cons
– Detector simulation = GEANT4 + digitization code
– PYTHIA is a Lund product. You can try it yourself at: http://home.thep.lu.se/~torbjorn/Pythia.html
• It works! Many good comparisons between data and MC gives us confidence that we should notice the first non-SM physics!4646
