Monte Carlo Simulations
Event generator and detector simulation used for:
- A proper description of all detector effects
- Estimate of number of participants
We use several packages
- HIJING 1.35 (Default Options)
- Event generator for AA collisions
- Hard Processes, Shadowing, Jet Quenching
- GEANT 3.21
- Detector simulations
- Production of secondaries in apparatus
- Measured detector response
- Derived from test-beam results
- Generates fake data for silicon and paddle detectors
