Multiple Coulomb Scattering Monte Carlo Simulation Model Comparison — •Kevin Dojan¹, Ingrid-Maria Gregor^1,2, Simon Spannagel², Paul Schütze², and Hakan Wennlöf² — ¹Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms Universität Bonn — ²Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY)

Monte-Carlo simulations are a powerful tool in high-energy physics to simulate particle interactions, among others for simulating the traversal of particles through matter. This is particularly important when simulating particle detectors where the dominant factor for the momentum resolution is multiple Coulomb scattering. The standard toolkit for particle-matter interactions is GEANT4. It offers different models to simulate multiple scattering behaviours in numerous applications. The characteristics of multiple Coulomb scattering will be compared for these models.
