Simulations and Software Development
Our group has developed several open-source software tools to aid simulation, reconstruction, and analysis for neutrino experimentalists and phenomenologists alike. The software packages that we actively maintain include:
Prometheus
A tool for simulating light yield of charged particles in a water Cherenkov neutrino telescope. Prometheus handles the photon propagation through ice or water and records the resulting photon hits on optical modules.
SIREN
A tool for simulating rare events, including neutrino interactions or new interactions/decays in BSM models) with realistic detector geometries. SIREN outputs the positions, kinematics, and event weights of visible final state particles
NuSQuIDS
A tool for propagating neutrinos through a given density profile, incorporating oscillations as well as matter effects from coherent and non-coherent neutrino interactions.
GollumFit
A tool for performing binned-likelihood analyses on neutrino telescope data, from IceCube or otherwise. GollumFit has the ability to fit over several nuisance parameters at once.
TAMBO-MC
Public monte carlo simulation framework for the Tau Mountain-Based Observatory. TAMBO-MC is written in julia interfaces with the latest version of CORSIKA to simulate air showers from tau decays in the valley.
Neptune
An efficient point-cloud transformer for reconstruction and classification tasks on neutrino telescope data
