Computer simulation of the Standard Model process e+ e− → μ+μ− at the proposed Global Linear Collider (GLC)
Abstract
The performance of the 3-T detector in measuring selected observables in the Standard Model process e+ e− → μ+ μ− at the proposed Asian Global Linear Collider (GLC) is being investigated by computer simulation in this study.
The center-of-mass energy is set at 500 GeV. Electron-positron collisions inside the JLC detector are analyzed using the JLC Study Framework (JSF) and the PhysSim libraries. Event generation is done using the PYTHIA Monte Carlo generator while the JSF Quick Simulator (QuickSim) is used for detector simulation.
Data gathered from the generation and simulation of events are used to formulate event selection criteria for precision calculation of desired observables (forward-backward asymmetry ratio, etc.) in the above-mentioned process. The results of this study are then compared to results of known previous studies for verification. These will be useful in setting new parameters of the GLC detector for future operations.
