Abstract
The paper considers the lepton pair production by muons using the Geant4 toolkit for the Monte Carlo simulation of the high energy muon transport. The new Geant4 process is described for the muon pair production. It is shown, that during the high-energy muon pair production, the cross section is about 10−5 of the electron-positron pair production cross section, but this process may provide a background to rare processes studied in LHC and FCC experiments.
期刊介绍:
Russian Physics Journal covers the broad spectrum of specialized research in applied physics, with emphasis on work with practical applications in solid-state physics, optics, and magnetism. Particularly interesting results are reported in connection with: electroluminescence and crystal phospors; semiconductors; phase transformations in solids; superconductivity; properties of thin films; and magnetomechanical phenomena.
