J. T. Moscicki CERN DIANE provides a generic workflow management layer above the GRID for easy development and deployment of parallel analysis, simulation and data processing applications. DIANE is application and language-neutral so it may be useful in various areas of physics research . Advanced error recovery and fault tolerance strategies are provided as well as online monitoring and job control tools. Applications run in a master-worker mode and are totally insulated from the underlying middleware by a uniform software facade. Without changes to the source code, applications may, depending on the requirements and context, be distributed on the WAN using generic GRID services or they may be executed in parallel on local clusters in a pre-configured and optimized environment. A number of distributed Geant-4 applications have been deployed and tested, ranging from interactive radiotheraphy treatment planning using dedicated clusters in hospitals, to globally-distributed simulations of astrophysics experiments using the European Data Grid middleware. |

E. Luppi Universita' di Ferrara, Dipartimento di Fisica and INFN - Ferrara Computing Elements (CE), Storage Elements (SE) and Worker Nodes (WN) have been installed at SLAC and in various European sites. A BaBar Virtual Organization (VO) and a test Replica Catalogue (RC) are maintained in Manchester, and the experiment is using three EDG test-bed Resource Brokers (RB) in the UK and in Italy. First analysis tests were performed under the assumption that a standard BaBar software release was available in the Grid target sites, using RC to register information about the executable and the produced Ntuples. Hundreds of analysis jobs accessing either Objectivity or Root data files ran on the Grid. We tested the Monte Carlo simulation production using a farm of the INFN-Grid test-bed customized to install an Objectivity database and run BaBar simulation software. First simulation production tests were performed using standard JDL commands and the output files were written on the closest Storage Element. A package that can be officially distributed to Grid sites not specifically customized for BaBar has been prepared. We are studing the possibility to add a user friendly interface to access Grid services for BaBar. |

K. Murakami1, K. Amako1, M. Asai2, H. Hirayama1, T. Koi2, Y. Namito1, T. Sasaki1 1KEK 2SLAC We focused on interfacing EGS4 with Geant4 in this paper. EGS4 is one of the most well-known simulation packages for electromagnetic physics and widely used particularly in medical research area. Taking advantage of the capability of Geant4 as a framework, we developed a plug-in interface for using EGS4 as a module of Geant4 physics process. By means of this interface, users can make applications on which the two different simulation systems can co-work in an easy and proper way. This is useful and important for making comparisons between EGS4 and Geant4, especially in users’ application level. In addition, EGS4 users can share Geant4 powerful resources, such as geometry description, tracking etc. In this paper, we describe our approach of design and implementation of the interface. And also, through some basic comparison tests, the feasibility and usefulness of our plug-in approach can be shown. |

V. M.M.DO. Amaral1, S. Helmer2, G. Moerkotte2 1LIP 2University of Mannheim In order to tackle this problem we propose introducing a new abstraction layer between the end users and the current interfaces. We go further in our approach by proposing to perform the mass event selection by the usage of a visual language that expresses the physics analysis queries in a declarative way. Through our solution we can express complex decay queries easily with no programming efforts, abstracting the storage and optimization details, and reducing the need to deal with the normal framework intricacies. We describe the methodology used designing and implementing the new abstraction layer. Many thanks to the portuguese LIP (Laboratório de Instrumentação e Física Experimental de Partículas) and FCT (Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia) for the financial support. |

J-F Carrier1,2, L. Archambault1,2, R. Roy2, B. Luc1,2 1Hotel-Dieu, CHUQ, Universite Laval 2Universite Laval We conducted a study to validate GEANT4 for medical physics applications. In this study, comparisons between the GEANT4 code and selected Monte Carlo codes for both electron and photon beams (or sources) were performed. Different geometries were tested, such as a multilayer medium irradiated by a monoenergetic 20 MeV electron beam, a 6 MeV realistic Varian Clinac 2100C electron beam in a water phantom, a multi-slab phantom irradiated by a monoenergetic 20 MV photon point source and a multi-slab medium irradiated by a realistic clinical 18 MV photon beam. Overall, the validation shows that GEANT4 seems as good as many other Monte Carlo toolkits currently used in medical physics. Thus, GEANT4 can be used for dosimetry calculations to simulate radioactive sources and radiation beams used for therapy. |

The purpose of the MUID procedure is to associate tracks found in the Muon Spectrometer with the corresponding Inner Detector track and calorimeter information in order to identify muons at their production vertex with optimum parameter resolution. The performance of these two combined systems has been evaluated with single muons of fixed transverse momentum and with full physics events. on behalf of the ATLAS Collaboration |

The program uses a highly modular component based framework which allows it to be customized for a particular problem domain by addition, replacement or removal of modules. The JAS team is also an active partner in the AIDA working group, and JAS3 makes extensive use of the AIDA interfaces. JAS is currently used by Babar, Glast, US Linear Collider group, and many other individuals and groups. Features of JAS3 include: - Easy to learn GUI for performing common analysis tasks (plotting, ntuple-analysis, fitting etc.). - Support for a variety of scripting languages (pnuts, jython, etc.), and for writing Java "analysis modules". - High quality print output and export of plots in a variety of formats including PS, EPS, PDF, SVG, GIF, PNG. - Fitting (binned or unbinned) using an extensible set of fitting methods and optimizers. - Able to read data in a variety of formats including: SQL databases and text-files. - Customizable event display based on WIRED4. - Support for client-server, distributed, and Grid based interactive data analysis. - Support for online monitoring and control applications.

Geant4 Simulation of the Influence of Electron’s
Multiply Scattering Processes in Studies of the Angular Resolution of the
Satellite Spectrometer-Telescope Results of computer simulation using Geant4 of electrons passage through the detectors of the satellite
spectrometer-telescope of high-energy charged particles “STEP” are presented. The device consists of a
detector unit and of a digital data processing unit. The detector unit contains two identical silicon
position-sensitive matrix detectors, and two scintillator crystals viewed by large-area photodiodes and a
photomultiplier tube. Each element of the silicon matrix is an autonomous semiconductor detector and has its
own analogue signal-shaping amplifier. The instrument identifies the incident particles and determines their
kinetic energies, and simultaneously determines the trajectories of the particles by using the coordinates
obtained from the position-sensitive matrix detectors. The visualization module is included into the programs
package in order to have a full presentation of the space distribution particles at the passing through the
detectors. The visualization functions have additional components for the user’s convenience. As a result of
the carried out simulation it turned out that it is possible the simple determination of the particle incident
direction for the primary electrons with the energy ~4.5MeV and more. The determination of the particle
incident direction becomes difficult for the electrons with lower energy in consequence of multiple scattering
processes taking place in elements matter. |
