论文摘要
核和粒子物理是全球大多数本科和研究生物理课程的核心组成部分。虽然很少有基本概念与实验室会议串联教授诸如粒子计数和检测器表征，但通常不会广泛教授横截面测量，轨道重建等的先进技术。同时，现代粒子物理实验要求学生在数据的统计处理方面具有先进的技能，这在常规课程中无法详细介绍。已经开发了一种名为Simple的软件来模拟粒子物理实验，基于该软件，可以轻松地赋予粒子物理研究所需的技能。简单基于Geant4库，高能物理界广泛使用以模拟与物质的粒子相互作用。与Geant4不同，Simple被设计为独立应用程序，不需要事先编程知识来运行模拟，并且还避免了耗时的汇编步骤。在本文中，提供了该软件的功能以及少量示例模拟。尽管本文的重点是将简单用作教学辅助工具，但该应用也可以用作粒子物理分析的通用模拟框架。
Nuclear and particle physics are the core components of most undergraduate and postgraduate physics courses worldwide. While few fundamental concepts like particle counting and detector characterisation are taught in tandem with laboratory sessions, advanced techniques like cross-section measurement, track reconstruction, etc., are usually not taught extensively. At the same time, modern particle physics experiments require students to have advanced skills in statistical treatment of data, which cannot be covered in detail in the regular coursework. A software named Simple has been developed to simulate particle physics experiments, based on which, skills necessary for particle physics studies can be easily imparted. Simple is based on Geant4 libraries, widely used by the high energy physics community to simulate particle interactions with matter. Unlike Geant4, Simple is designed to be a standalone application requiring no prior programming knowledge to run a simulation and the time consuming compilation step is also avoided. In this paper, the features of this software along with few sample simulations are presented. Though the emphasis of this paper is on the use of Simple as a pedagogical aid, this application can also be used as a general purpose simulation framework for particle physics analyses.
