Simulation of water Cherenkov detectors using GEANT4
Description
We present a detailed simulation of the performance of water Cherenkov detectors suitable for use in the Pierre Auger Observatory. Using GEANT4, a flexible object-oriented simulation program, including all known physics processes, has been developed. The program also allows interactive visualization, and can easily be modified for any experimental setup
