Description
Detector modelling serves many purposes from highly technical physics-based simulations to gain deep understanding of detector properites to phenomenological models to approximate detector behaviour in order to calibrate science data or perform systems-level tradeoffs. As the science goals of the astronomy community become ever more ambitious and require unprecedented levels of accuracy, the ability to understand, simulate, and correct for a range of detector effects is now required. But the level of detail in simulation depends on the use case for the simulation. During this conference you will hear from experts working in all areas of detector modelling and learn about different resources for modelling detectors, many of which are open-source and freely available.
