This is the Wire-Cell “gen” sub-package. It provides components related to generating simulated data. In particular:
- simple ionization deposition (depos) generators,
- drifting depos in the bulk volume of the detector,
- diffusion of these charges as they drift,
- convolution of drifted ionization with detector responses
- sampling fluctuations,
- intrinsic and coherent noise simulation
- ADC waveform digitization. of charge on the wire planes.
What follows are various, non-exhaustive notes on parts of the sub-package.
