Description
The CMS Collaboration has developed a detailed simulation of the
electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL), which has been fully integrated in
the collaboration software framework CMSSW. The simulation is based on
the Geant4 detector simulation toolkit for the modelling of the passage
of particles through matter and magnetic field. The geometrical
description of the detector is being re-implemented using the
DetectorDescription language, combining an XML based description of
with the algorithmic definition of the position of the elements. The
ECAL simulation software is fully operational and has been validated
using real data from the ECAL test beam experiment that took place in
summer 2006.
