simtools

The simtools simulation tool kit provides

• applications for complex derivation steps to derive a consistent and realistic simulation model for imaging Cherenkov telescopes like the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO). This includes parameter describing the condition in the atmosphere, the ray-tracing of the optical components, photo detection, trigger, and electronic readout
• libraries for simulation model definition and management, taking into account the varying conditions of the measurements processes on different time scales
• APIs to model databases
• tools for the preparation and configuration of simulation productions
• standardized interfaces and data products independent of the underlying simulation software (e.g., CORSIKA, sim_telarray)
• I/O and reporting tools for the MC simulation model parameter and production database
