An Updated Description of Heavy-Hadron Interactions in Geant-4

Understand

Exotic stable massive particles (SMP) are proposed in a number of scenarios of physics beyond the Standard Model.

• It is important that LHC experiments are able both to detect and extract the quantum numbers of any SMP with masses around the TeV scale.
• To do this, an understanding of the interactions of SMPs in matter is required.
• In this paper a Regge-based model of R-hadron scattering is extended and implemented in Geant-4.
