Abstract:This note contains a detailed description of the GEANT performance in energy loss simulations. GEANT versions 3.15 and 3.21 are compared to each other and to various data sets for both P10 and He:Ethane gases. A description of the dE/dx calculation for reconstructed tracks is included along with results from that simulation.
