CDF Monte Carlo'2000: a year before data taking
|
CDF Monte Carlo
Group
Speaker:
Pasha Murat
We describe the CDF Run II Monte Carlo system. Its distinctive features are:
- it uses GEANT3 as an underlying simulation engine;
- it is fully integrated into the CDF Run II offline framework;
- it shares significant part of the infrastructure - geometry and
readout geometry - with the reconstruction code, the shared code
utilizes GEANT4 infrastructure classes;
- it provides a unified framework for the detailed and parametrized
detector simulations;
- it allows uniform handling of MC event generators, including VEGAS-type
generators;
- it incorporates specialized decay packages (QQ, TAUOLA) and such features
as generation of event pile-up;
- is provides overall control over the random number generation,
including the random numbers used by MC event generators and GEANT3;
- it integrates ROOT-based analysis and visualization tools
We discuss performance of the CDF Monte Carlo, validation
(including cross-platform validation) and future prospects.
