MONTE CARLO simulation of experiments : an introduction illustrated by the computer programs SIMUL8 (μ^+→e^+nu_e nu(bar)_μ gamma in TINA and MINA NaI detectors) MONTE-PION (π^+→e^+nu_e gamma in TINA and MINA NaI detectors) Opat, Geoffrey I.

Abstract

An outline of the technique of computer simulation of particle physics experiments by the MONTE-CARLO method is presented. Useful special purpose subprograms are listed and described. At each stage the discussion is made concrete by direct reference to the programs SIMUL8 and its variant MONTE-PION, written to assist in the analysis of the radiative decay experiments μ^+→e^+nu_e nu(bar)_μ gamma and π^+→e^+nu_e gamma, respectively. These experiments were based on the use of two large sodium iodide crystals, TINA and MINA, as e and gamma detectors. Instructions for the use of SIMUL8 and MONTE-PION are given.
