Abstract
Particle detector simulation is a powerful tool in the process of understanding the detectors, their features, and the underlying processes. Once validated with data, simulations unfold predictive power which can be used to forecast changes in operational parameters of the detector over time, or to improve the performance of algorithms applied to data.
