DHCAL Simulation Strategy
GEANT4 → points in the gas gap with energy loss
RPC_sim → generates and distributes the charge over pads applies a threshold to determine pad hits
Simulated data → pad hits
RPC_sim tuning
Tune major parameters to reproduce the muon response (José)Match number of hits per layer in the clean regions
Tune charge at edges of chambers to reproduce tapering off of efficiency
Tune the remaining parameters to reproduce the positron response (Kurt → Burak)Match mean and sigma of Nhits distributions, longitudinal profiles, density plots
No tuning based on pion response

Conclusions
Even though muons are well simulated, the simulation of positrons is not trivial
The simulation of positrons depends strongly on the RPC_sim version, even though all reproduce the muons quite well
The simulation of positrons depends strongly on the dcut parameter/implementation
Treating the energy loss in the gap properly (using βγ) might be necessary Current implementation of ionization losses not yet successful Other approaches are being explored
None of the digitizers satisfactory yet
RPC_sim_5 with 2 Gaussians performs best
(I have been told that OPAL never succeeded in simulating their high granularity gaseous HCAL response)
