Summary

For Run 3 at the Large Hadron Collider the Monte Carlo Detector Simulation performed with Geant4 (Full Simulation) within the ATLAS experiment has undergone significant improvements to enhance its computational performance and overall efficiency. Here we provide an overview of the physics and technical optimizations implemented in the ATLAS Full Simulation for Run 3. Notable physics developments include use of Geant4’s range cuts and G4GammaGeneralProcess for gammas, and variance reduction techniques such as neutron/photon Russian Roulette, and Woodcock Tracking in the Electromagnetic Endcap Calorimeter (EMEC). Technical developments include optimizations of the geometric representation of the particularly complex EMEC detector to assist navigation, tailored switch-off of the magnetic fiel
