Summary and Outlook<br />

The detailed model of <strong>the</strong> detector is developed <strong>with</strong>in <strong>GEANT4</strong> framework<br />

Results obtained <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> optical <strong>simulations</strong> agree <strong>with</strong> <strong>the</strong> data (in <strong>the</strong><br />

target volume)<br />

Veto efficiency measurements are per<strong>for</strong>med (~100 positions). Data is being<br />

compared <strong>with</strong> MC model<br />

Electron and nuclear backgrounds from various sources are predicted.<br />

Detailed paper is in preparation<br />

Electron recoils<br />

(be<strong>for</strong>e S2/S1 discrimination)<br />

Nuclear recoils<br />
