Detector optimization is necessary ahead of detector construction. Simulation library contains all of possible physics processes that have been well proven. Detector performance can be checked out and debugged if any discrepancy is appeared. It’s possible to see what is happened at detector itself, and to shorten a period of time of system completion. What is detector simulation? A detector simulation program must provide the possibility of describing accurately an experimental setup (both in terms of materials and geometry). The program must provide the possibility of generating physics events(kinematics) and efficiently tracking particles through the simulated detector. The interactions between particles and matter must be simulated by taking into account all possible physics processes, for the whole energy range. The possibility of recording at run time all quantities needed for reproducing the experiment functioning must be provided. Some graphic and plot utilities must be in place. … and much more … Typical experimental setup Fully reconstructed BBbar event Event Generator Lund Monte Carlo using PYTHI
