NuRadioMC是一个蒙特卡罗框架，旨在模拟依赖于无线电探测方法的超高能中微子探测器。NuRadioMC是一个基于Python的现代化模块化框架，它结合了探测器设计的灵活性和用户友好性，能够模拟从介质中的中微子相互作用到随后的Askaryan无线电发射、无线电信号到探测器的传播以及最终的探测器响应。它包括一个最先进的事件发生器，一个改进的无线电发射模型，一个重新审视的信号传播方法，并提高了探测器模拟的灵活性和精度。本文重点介绍了实现的物理过程及其对探测器设计的影响。本文对中微子诱导簇射射电辐射的各种模型和参数化进行了比较和评述。全面的例子被用来讨论的代码和不同方面的工具设计决策的能力。
NuRadioMCis a Monte Carlo framework designed to simulate ultra-high energy neutrino detectors that rely on the radio detection method. This method exploits the radio emission generated in the electromagnetic component of a particle shower following a neutrino interaction.NuRadioMCsimulates everything from the neutrino interaction in a medium, the subsequent Askaryan radio emission, the propagation of the radio signal to the detector and finally the detector response.NuRadioMCis designed as a modern, modular Python-based framework, combining flexibility in detector design with user-friendliness. It includes a state-of-the-art event generator, an improved modelling of the radio emission, a revisited approach to signal propagation and increased flexibility and precision in the detector simulation. This paper focuses on the implemented physics processes and their implications for detector design. A variety of models and parameterizations for the radio emission of neutrino-induced showers are compared and reviewed. Comprehensive examples are used to discuss the capabilities of the code and different aspects of instrumental design decisions.
