Goals of WP-2: Electromagnetic physics
- Compare electron and muon test-beam data of the LHC experiments to G4/FLUKA/(G3). All relevant sub-detectors should be tested
- Interact and iterate with G4 and FLUKA physics experts until required precision is achieved (see WP-1)
- Return uncertainties and discrepancies to WP-1
- Understand strengths and weaknesses of G4 vs FLUKA
- Define one or more "optmised and recommended" physics lists and parameters (e.g. range cuts, etc.) for the various LHC detector types, as a result of technical performance vs physics performance
- Compare G4/FLUKA for simple benchmark geometries and materials and single incident particles of various energies
