Description
This project focuses on the development of a fast, flexible, and modular simulation of photon propagation produced by a charged particle traversing a crystal of arbitrary shape. The physical model includes photon production via scintillation and Cherenkov radiation.
The main goal of the developed software tool is to enable targeted optimization of the optical geometry and output signal characteristics, with an emphasis on precise reconstruction of deposited energy and timing information in the detector. The tool is intended, among other applications, for identifying optimal hardware configurations, such as compensating chromatic dispersion to achieve the simultaneous arrival of photons of different wavelengths at the photodetector.
The correctness and physical validity of the model are verified through comparison with existing simulations, and the results are analyzed and visualized using available graphical and analytical tools. The results of the project will be presented.
