Validation of energy deposition simulations for proton and heavy ion losses in the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Monte Carlo shower simulations are essential for understanding and predicting the consequences of beam losses in high-energy proton and ion colliders. Shower simulations are routinely used at CERN for estimating the beam-induced energy deposition, radiation damage, and radioactivity in the Large Had...
