Descripción
The MoEDAL experiment (Monopole and Exotics Detector at
the LHC) is designed to directly search for magnetic
monopoles and other highly ionising stable or metastable
particles at the LHC. The MoEDAL detector comprises an
array of plastic Nuclear Track Detectors deployed around
the P8 intersection region of the LHCb detector,
combined with trapping volumes for capturing charged
highly ionising particles and TimePix pixel devices for
monitoring. The passive detector elements do not require
a trigger, electronic readout or computerised data
acquisition, therefore the software components mainly
concern the simulation rather than digitisation or
reconstruction. In this talk we present the current
status of the MoEDAL simulation software. Specifically
we focus on the material description --within the Geant4
framework-- of the detector geometry including its
cavern surroundings. We also discuss Geant4 simulation
studies on the propagation of monopoles and
highly-charged particles through the MoEDAL material.
