Abstract:
Genie is a neutrino event generator for the experimental neutrino Physics community.
The goal of the project is to develop a ¡®canonical¡¯ neutrino interaction physics Monte Carlo, whose validity extends to all nuclear targets and neutrino flavours from MeV to PeV energy scales. Currently, emphasis is on the few GeV energy range, the challenging boundary between the non-perturbative and perturbative regimes, which is relevant for the current and near future long-baseline precision neutrino experiments using accelerator-made beams. The design of the package addresses many challenges unique to neutrino simulations and supports the full life-cycle of simulation and generator-related analysis tasks.
GENIE is a large-scale software system, consisting of ¡120000¡120000 lines of C++C++ code, featuring a modern object-oriented design and extensively validated physics content. The first official physics release of GENIE was made available in August 2007, and at the time of the writing of this article, the latest available version was v3.8.4.
After performing an installation on Ubuntu 14, with command line especially for GENIE, I succeed running a simple post-installation tests and analyzing results for Cross section model and Nuclear model.
Unique to GENIE can be considered the following: transition region cross section modelling, neutrino-induced primary hadronic shower modelling and intra-nuclear hadron transport.
