Description
We present the status of DigiSim, a package designed for parametric simulation of the
conversion of (GEANT4) energy deposits into digitally stored "hits", specifically for
the ILC detector(s). DigiSim is well integrated to two of the most widely used
reconstruction frameworks for the ILC, namely org.lcsim/java and Marlin/C++. Simple
implementations exist for the most common processes, such as crosstalk, noise,
discrimination, timing cuts, inefficiencies and smeared linear transformations. New
features or effects can be easily added to the modular and extensible structure. In
the process of simulation-based evaluation of different technology and geometry
options We expect DigiSim to serve as an essential step between simulation of energy
deposits in the detector volume and realistic reconstruction/analysis based on a
"raw" data format similar to what we eventually expect to see from real physics runs.
Detector and algorithm developers experts are encouraged to try it out and make
suggestions to improve its usefulness.
