Description

We have installed EGS4 to the TOPAZ detector simulator to simulate electromagnetic showers in massive structures and check fictious interactions in low density regions, keeping the modularity of the system as much as possible for easy use and code developments by many physicists. For the total absorption type calorimeter, we applied the Frozen Shower Method, which reduces the CPU time significantly for high energy particles. The TOPAZ detector simulator reproduces the detector responses to the electromagnetic particles very well. (author)
