1	Application of GEANT4 toolkit for simulations of high gradient phenomena Persson, Daniel January 2018 (has links) To study electron emissions and dark currents in the accelerating structures in particle colliders, a test facility with a spectrometer has been constructed at CERN. This spectrometer has been simulated in the C++ toolkit GEANT4 and in this project the simulation has been improved to handle new realistic input data of the emitted electrons. The goal was to find relations between where the electrons are emitted inside the accelerating structure and the energy or position of the particles measured by the spectrometer. The result was that there is a linear relation between the initial position of the electrons and the width in the positions of the particles measured by the spectrometer. It also appears to be a relations between energy the emitted electrons get in the accelerating structure, which is related to the position, and the energy they deposit in the spectrometer. Further studies where the simulations are compared with real measurement data are required to determine whether these relations are true or not, find better reliability in the relations and get a better understanding of the phenomena.
