MDI: Machine-Detector Interface

The machine detector interface refers to the topics and regions where the beamlines of the acceler- ator overlap with the physics experiment’s detector. Key elements include mechanical support of final beamline elements, luminosity monitoring, feedback, background suppression and radiation shielding.

MDISim

A tool set developed in the frame of the FCC study for Machine Detector Interface SIMulations using and combining the standard tools MAD-X, ROOT and GEANT4.
