Labiche, M., Ljungvall, J., Crespi, F. C.L. et al. (7 more authors) (2023) Simulation of the AGATA spectrometer and coupling with ancillary detectors. European Physical Journal A. 158. ISSN 1434-601X
Abstract
The design study of the AGATA array began with the development of the AGATA simulation code using GEANT4. The latter played a key part in the final design of the array and provided a cost effective solution for the early development of the tracking algorithm. The code has since been maintained and developed by the collaboration to provide more realistic simulations, with reaction chambers, ancillary detectors and surrounding mechanical structures completing the entire setup.
