Description
Detector concepts are in general optimized by Monte Carlo simulation.
However, programs for simulation and reconstruction of detector related
data from track measurements are nowadays of great complexity. The
detector toy program is a simple MATLAB tool which allows the fast
optimization of the position and precision of track sensitive detector modules
and their material budget. It can be installed on a mobile PC and is able to
give very quick response, e.g. during a discussion meeting. It can be used by
everybody without any software experience, but can also easily be adapted
to meet individual needs. The basic version allows to generate strip detectors
with arbitrary stereo angles, either with digitized or Gaussian errors, pixel
detectors, and TPC results, including inefficiencies. Standard tests like chi-
square distributions and pull quantities are included. A graphical user
interface is planned for the conference release.
