Valentin Niess, Olivier Martineau-Huynh
TL;DR
DANTON is a Monte-Carlo simulation tool designed to efficiently model tau particles produced by tau neutrino interactions with Earth, incorporating detailed physics and topography for accurate predictions.
Contribution
It introduces a novel backward Monte-Carlo method for efficient simulation of tau neutrino interactions and tau particle propagation through Earth.
Findings
Validated simulation results with detailed interaction modeling
Achieved high Monte-Carlo efficiency using backward sampling
Incorporated detailed Earth topography data
Abstract
A preliminary version (v0.2.1) of the DANTON Monte-Carlo package is presented. DANTON allows the exclusive sampling of (decaying) generated by interactions with the Earth. The particles interactions with matter are simulated in detail, including transverse scattering. Detailed topography data of the Earth can be used as well. Yet, high Monte-Carlo efficiency is achieved by using a Backward Monte-Carlo technique. Some validation results are provided.
