NuSD: A Geant4 based simulation framework for segmented anti-neutrino detectors

Abstract

NuSD: Neutrino Segmented Detector is a Geant4-based user application that simulates inverse beta decay events in a variety of segmented scintillation detectors developed by different international collaborations. This simulation framework uses a combination of cross-programs and libraries including Geant4, ROOT and CLHEP developed and used by the high energy physics community. It will enable the neutrino physics community to simulate and study neutrino interactions within different detector concepts using a single program. In addition to neutrino simulations in segmented detectors, this program can also be used for various research projects utilizing scintillation detectors for different physics applications.
