CMS HCAL Testbeam Results and Comparison with GEANT 4 Simulation
A study of the CMS hadron calorimeter has been performed using pions, protons, electrons, and muons in the H2 test beam in the North Area at CERN in 2004. We present some of the measured properties of...

The Geant4 hadronic models cover the entire range of energies required by calorimeters in new and planned experiments. The extension and improvement of the elastic, cascade, parameterized and quark-gluon string models will be discussed. Such improvements include the extension to more particle types, a review and correction of cross sections, and a better treatment of energy and momentum conservation. Concurrent with this development has been a validation program which includes comparisons with double differential cross sections. An ongoing hadronic shower validation will also be discussed which includes the examination of longitudinal shower shapes and the performance of the above models as well as their interaction with electromagnetic processes such as multiple scattering. ©2006 American Institute of Physics
