“…where the sensitivity value, S, can be plotted against wavelength (sensitivity profile) to show around what wavelengths the relative variation of the parameter P may have more effect on the detection resolution, and around what wavelengths less [25]. Table 1 describes quantitatively how one can calculate the sensitivity values (e.g., for the paint reflectivity (PR)).…”

“…Several models of photon transport and fiber simulation have been introduced in various frameworks including dynamic programming [21], Monte Carlo [22,6,23], finite element analysis [24], and sensitivity analysis [25,26]. Others have considered simulations of electronic readout systems [27] and photomultiplier tubes [28].…”

We have constructed a detailed software model of photon transport in clear and wavelength shifting polystyrene optical fibers based on the GEANT4 framework. We validate the model with measurements obtained from several different lengths of fiber illuminated with several LEDs, using two independent acquisition systems. The simulated spectral and spatial light distributions at the end of the fiber and the resultant attenuation lengths show good agreement with measurement. We use the model to predict the fiber behaviour for several test cases and discuss potential applications.

“…Several dedicated efforts have recently been proposed to describe optical photon transport in scintillator detectors using various Monte Carlo packages [ 1,2,3,4,5]. Using the GEANT4 (version 4.9.1 patch 3) framework [ 6], we have constructed a comprehensive and detailed model of photon transport in plastic scintillator, then used the model to study the individual NEMO-3 calorimeter modules.…”

We have constructed a GEANT4-based detailed software model of photon transport in plastic scintillator blocks and have used it to study the NEMO-3 and SuperNEMO calorimeters employed in experiments designed to search for neutrinoless double beta decay. We compare our simulations to measurements using conversion electrons from a calibration source of 207Bi and show that the agreement is improved if wavelength-dependent properties of the calorimeter are taken into account. In this article, we briefly describe our modeling approach and results of our studies
