摘要
We present a detailed simulation of the performance of water Cerenkov detectors suitable for use in the Pierre Anger Observatory. Using GEANT4, a flexible object-oriented simulation program, including all known physics processes, has been developed. The program also allows interactive visualization, and carl easily be modified for any experimental setup.
