| contents | This lecture reviews the principles of particle-matter interactions, providing the essential physics background required to understand beam loss mechanisms in high-energy accelerators and their associated implications. The main interaction processes of photons and charged particles are introduced, together with an overview of nuclear reactions. The lecture then addresses electromagnetic and hadronic showers, which play a central role in particle-matter interaction physics. Following a brief overview of Monte Carlo simulation tools, with emphasis on FLUKA, the lecture concludes with a detailed examination of a representative LHC-type radiation shower. |
