This directory includes examples demonstrating the use of optical processes in the simulation.

OpNovice

Simulation of optical photons generation and transport. Defines optical surfaces and exercises optical physics processes (Cerenkov, Scintillation, Absorption, Rayleigh, ...). Uses stacking mechanism to count the secondary particles generated.

OpNovice2

Investigate optical properties and parameters. Details of optical photon boundary interactions on a surface are recorded. Details of optical photon generation and transport are recorded.

LXe

Multi-purpose detector setup implementing:

1. scintillation inside a bulk scintillator with PMTs
2. large wall of small PMTs opposite a Cerenkov slab to show the cone
3. plastic scintillator with wave-length-shifting fiber readout.

wls

This application simulates the propagation of photons inside a Wave Length Shifting (WLS) fiber.
