EIC Tutorial: Simulations using npsim and geant4: Glossary

Key Points

Single Particle Simulations with `ddsim`

  • ddsim can be used with a particle gun to generate single particle simulations.
Running physics simulations with `ddsim`

  • ddsim or npsim are both able to simulate physics events.

  • npsim should be used in almost all regular use cases for ePIC simulations
