  3. Introduction The aim of this work is to determine the role of a different physical processes for the formation of a current pulse produced by a hard radiation with a initial gamma energy between 20 keV and 4 MeV. It is necessary for better understanding of detector registration efficiency. • Relativistic electrons • Speed of light of the current propagation in the detector • Secondary physical processes effect JASS, 2006

  4. Actuality Examples: - ALICE- ATLAS- LHCb- Future CBM The actuality is in a possible upgrade of detectors of relativistic charged particles. JASS, 2006

  5. GEANT4 toolkit We consider to simulate interaction of particles and passage through matter with a GEANT4 Software package GEANT4 is an open source toolkit for the simulation of the passage of particles through a matter written on C++ Official GEAN4 web site, http://geant4.cern.ch JASS, 2006

  6. How it works Step 1 of 4. The Volume Space Physical Volume.The matter. We used Air and Water matter to simulate gamma passage through. There are many different volume forms possible to create with the GEANT4. Cubical geometry of a detector was considered. JASS, 2006

  7. How it works Step 2 of 4. Gamma source and detection plane • Setting up: • Gamma beam direction • Number of gamma • Gamma energy (between 20 keV and 4 MeV energy range) • Fixing detection virtual plane position (perpendicular to gamma direction) Physical Volume.The matter. Gamma source Detection plane JASS, 2006 * We were interested by time distribution of secondary electrons at the detection plane and role of the different physical processes for current pulse formation

  8. How it works Step 3 of 4. Physics Physical Volume.The matter. Before we run the simulation we must to determine which physical processes we want to see and what particles are we working with Processes:Photo effect, Compton scattering, Pairing effect Particles: Gamma, Electron, Positron Gamma source Detection plane JASS, 2006

  9. How it works Step 4 of 4. Experiment start-up • GEANT4 show experiment parameters on the screen; we can see particles tracks online GEANT4 graphical output window JASS, 2006

  10. How it works What we are looking for? Current pulse form on detection plane. 1.5 MeV gamma source. Water. Compton Scattering All processes Ionization Effect JASS, 2006

  11. Computer cluster From 30 minutes to several hours needed to perform calculations for one run consisting of 107 events Linearspeedup In our case (full data parallelism) speedup depends linearly on computing nodes (theoretical limit of the Amhdal’s law) We are using high performance clusters for simulations JASS, 2006

  12. Results (Water) The role of different processes in current pulse formation in water Passage of gamma quanta through2 mm water layer 4000 JASS, 2006

  13. Results (Air) The role of a different processes in current pulse formation in the air Passage of gamma quanta through 1 m air layer at atmosphere pressure JASS, 2006

  14. Air Water 20 keV 55 keV Theory GEANT4 120 keV 87 keV Photo electric effect Compton Scattering Pairing effect Results JASS, 2006

  15. Conclusions • The role of different physical processes for the formation of current pulse was defined • The differences between a theory and experiment was detected • The forms of a current produced by a pulse of hard radiation were defined JASS, 2006
