Simulation of Dark Bremsstrahlung in GEANT4
arXiv:2211.03873 · doi:10.1016/j.cpc.2023.108690
Abstract
A technique for the simulation of dark bremsstrahlung for electrons and muons in GEANT4 is presented. The total cross section is calculated using the Weizsäcker-Williams approximation and the outgoing kinematics are produced by scaling events produced in MadGraph/MadEvent to lower incident lepton energies, allowing the simulation to account for thick targets and lepton sources without fixed energies. Compared with dedicated samples produced at an arbitrary particle energy, typical precision of better than 5% is achieved.
