Title : Physics Validation of Detector Simulation Tools for LHC
Authors : Juerg Beringer
Abstract : 
Extensive studies to validate the physics processes built into the
detector simulation tools Geant4 and Fluka are in progress within all
LHC experiments, within the collaborations developing these tools, and
within the LCG Simulation Physics Validation Project, which has become
the primary forum for these activities. This work includes detailed
comparisons with test beam data, as well as benchmark studies of
simple geometries and materials with single incident particles of
various energies for which experimental data is available. I will give
an overview of these validation activities with emphasis on the latest
results.
