  23. Responses to Recommendations 18 and 19

  24. Recommendation 18: populate database with relevant experimental data and validations • Number of validations and data sets has grown significantly in last few years • growth will continue • Have succeeded in concentrating all results at two points of access • http:// geant4.fnal.gov/hadronic_validation/validation_plots.htm • http:// cern.ch/vnivanch/tests.shtml • Plan eventually to have a single point of access for all hadronic results 24

  25. Recommendation 18: populate database with relevant experimental data and validations • Test30, test35, test45 • http:// cern.ch/vnivanch/tests.shtml • Low energy, spallation and cascade region validations plus references to all data • medium energy validations from HARP • Validation web page (see Results and Publications on Geant4 web page) • http:// geant4.fnal.gov/hadronic_validation/validation_plots.htm • medium energy validation + data list and references • high energy validations • validations done by ATLAS and CMS 25

  26. Recommendation 19: benchmarking against other Monte Carlo codes • Geant4/FLUKA benchmarking performed as part of LCG simulation validation project • http:// lcgapp.cern.ch/project/simu/validation • Participated in Hadronic Shower Simulation Workshop 2006, planning for 2009 • head-to-head comparisons with MCNPX, Mars, FLUKA, PHITS • Nominally every 1.5 to 2 years, delayed until 2009 • We are participating in IAEA Spallation benchmarks • http:// nds121/iaea.org/alberto/mediawiki-1.6.10/index.php /Main_Page • comparisons with FLUKA, MCNPX, Geant4, among others • could be recurring 26

  27. Recommendation 19: benchmarking against other Monte Carlo codes • We participate in SATIF benchmarking • http://www. nea.fr/html/science/meetings/SATIF-9/satif.html • neutron propagation and shielding benchmarking held every two years • Geant4, MCNPX, FLUKA, PHITS • Preliminary discussions with MCNPX developers to enable head-to-head comparisons with Geant4 • requires method of sharing MCNPX input files • Such meetings are for now the best way to do head-to-head comparisons • do not have sufficient expertise in other codes within collaboration to do comparisons by ourselves • best to have code authors do it 27
