CERENLIB

Electron, Gamma, Muon, Cherenkov Photon Routines

History

• 1988 First routines written at U.C. Irvine for IMB. Only did muons, electrons, and gammas in restricted energy range. Simple PMT simulatiuon.
• 1990 Extended muon energy reliably to 100 TeV to use for GRANDE proposal.
• 1991-92 Many tracking routines adapted to variable-step method. Many cross-sections now sampled by composition-rejection method. Further refinement of muon tracking up to 1000 TeV range.
• 1993-94 Used for intial design of Super-Kamiokande detector veto. Many changes tpo light tracking routines for distributed scattering and surface reflections and transmission.
• 1995 Added interface to handle hadrons using FLUKA and GEANT. Used to develop fitting routines for Super-Kamiokande.
