74. Simulating Light in Large Volume Detectors Using Metropolis Light Transport

Gabriel Collin

In gigaton scale neutrino detectors, such as the IceCube experiment, interaction products are detected by the Cherenkov radiation emitted by their passage through the detector medium. Simulating this propagation of light is traditionally approached through ray tracing. This is complicated by the sparsity of the detector: the vast majority of light rays are scattered and absorbed by the...
