MonteCarlo simulations with GEANT4 for the XENON100 Detector
MonteCarlo simulations with GEANT4 for the XENON100 Detector MonteCarlo simulations with GEANT4 for the XENON100 Detector
Summary and Outlook The detailed model of the detector is developed within GEANT4 framework Results obtained with the optical simulations agree with the data (in the target volume) Veto efficiency measurements are performed (~100 positions). Data is being compared with MC model Electron and nuclear backgrounds from various sources are predicted. Detailed paper is in preparation Electron recoils (before S2/S1 discrimination) Nuclear recoils Alexander Kish | XENON100 | 14th Geant4 Users Workshop | Catania, Sicily | October 15, 2009 | p.24
