水基契伦科夫量能器单元的蒙特卡罗模拟

Monte Carlo Simulation of a Water Tank of the Cerenkov Calorimeter

详细描述了作为中微子探测器的水基契伦科夫量能器单元的结构,并用GEANT4软件包对水箱单元契伦科夫光的光学过程做了仔细的蒙特卡罗模拟,结果显示水箱的设计是合理的,且此结果对探测器设计与优化具有重要意义。

This paper describes the structure of the water tank of the Cerenkov calorimeter for neutrino detection. Based on the GEANT4 Monte Carlo package, the detailed optical processes for the Cerenkov light in the water tank are simulated . Results show that the design of the water tank is appropriate and they are useful for the detector optimization.
