Detector and Beamline Simulation for Next-Generation High Energy Physics Experiments

The success of high energy physics programs relies heavily on accurate detector simulations and beam interaction modeling. The increasingly complex detector geometries and beam dynamics require sophisticated techniques in order to meet the demands of current and future experiments. Common software tools used today are unable to fully utilize modern computational resources, while data-recording rates are often orders of magnitude larger than what can be produced via simulation. In this paper, we describe the state, current and future needs of high energy physics detector and beamline simulations and related challenges, and we propose a number of possible ways to address them.

The Mu2e Experiment at Fermilab

The Mu2e collaboration has proposed an experiment to search for the coherent, neutrino-less conversion of a muon into an electron in the Coulomb field of a nucleus with an expected sensitivity of $R_{μe}<6.0\times 10^{-17}$, at the 90% confidence level. Mu2e has received CD-0 approval from the US Department of Energy. If all resources are made available as required, the experiment could begin taking data as early as 2018.

Charmed Meson Spectroscopy

In the two years since HQL02, the long sought $j_{\ell}=1/2$ states have been observed. In the charmed non-strange sector, these states have the expected properties but, in the charmed strange sector, the states have masses below threshold for the otherwise dominant decay modes, allowing their observation in suppressed modes. Improved measurements of the masses and widths of the well established P-wave charm states have also been published.

The BTeV Software Tutorial Suite

The BTeV Collaboration is starting to develop its C++ based offline software suite, an integral part of which is a series of tutorials. These tutorials are targeted at a diverse audience, including new graduate students, experienced physicists with little or no C++ experience, those with just enough C++ to be dangerous, and experts who need only an overview of the available tools. The tutorials must both teach C++ in general and the BTeV specific tools in particular. Finally, they must teach physicists how to find and use the detailed documentation. This report will review the status of the BTeV experiment, give an overview of the plans for and the state of the software and will then describe the plans for the tutorial suite.
