Description

XMASS is a single phase liquid xenon (LXe) detector, designed for a program of physics targets. As a first step in the program, the XMASS-I detector started operation with 832 kg of LXe in the sensitive volume from Sep. 2010. GEANT4 tools are used for the detector simulation to understand the detector response and background. In the simulation detailed structure and processes are required to reproduce background such as detector surface events and Cherenkov events. We present details of the geometry and processes used in the XMASS simulation in this paper
