Detector Simulation

The detector geometry is defined by ASCII files in the XML format. ( The dtd can be found here. )

For the purpose of comparison, three reference detectors are currently being simulated:

  • LDMar01-a large tracking-volume detector. [LDMar01.xml]
  • SDMar01-a silicon tracking detector. [SDMar01.xml]
  • PDMar01-a detector intended for precision physics studies at the Z-pole. [PDMar01.xml]
  • SDJan03-an updated silicon tracking detector. [SDJan03.xml]

    Diagrams for the tracker designs and plots for expected momentum resolutions can be found at the Tracker Information Page.
    The following information is provided for historical reasons only:

  • L2 - a large tracking-volume detector. [ LargeDetector.txt] [largeParms2.xml]
  • SD - a silicon tracking detector. [SD.xml]
  • P - a detector intended for precision studies at the Z pole [P.htm]
  • S2 - a small tracking-volume detector [SmallDetector.txt] [smallParms2.xml]

  • The LCD detector simulation package currently uses Gismo. The following documents describe how to install and run LCD Gismo.
  • Installing Gismo
  • Running Gismo

  • The LCD detectors can also be simulated using GEANT4. The current implementation uses ROOT for persistence. The following documents describe how to install and run LCDRoot.
  • Installing LCDROOT
  • Running LCDROOT
