Matter deviation of 45 GeV muons in GEANT3 and GEANT4: a comparison with L3 data

We have studied the deviation of muons traversing the L3 detector due to the multiple scattering and the production of secondaries. We have analysed LEP I e+e- -> Z/gamma -> mu+mu- events from 1994 and 1995 data. We have compared the data with the predictions of GEANT3.15 and GEANT4.0....

Sumario:We have studied the deviation of muons traversing the L3 detector due to the multiple scattering and the production of secondaries. We have analysed LEP I e+e- -> Z/gamma -> mu+mu- events from 1994 and 1995 data. We have compared the data with the predictions of GEANT3.15 and GEANT4.0.1 and we have seen some disagreement in the case GEANT3 but a good matching to the data in the case of GEANT4.
