Title: | The Simulations Chain of the MURAVES Experiment | Journal: | Journal of Advanced Instrumentation in Science | Series/Report no.: | / (2022) | Issue Date: | 2022 | DOI: | 10.31526/JAIS.2022.303 | Subject Classification: | Volcano muography | Abstract: | Abstract The MUon RAdiography of VESuvius (MURAVES) project is aimed at studying the summital cone of Mt. Vesuvius, an active and hazardous volcano near Naples, Italy. A detailed Monte Carlo simulation frame- work is necessary in order to investigate the effects of the experimental constraints and to perform compar- isons with the actual observations. Our Monte Carlo setup combines a variety of Monte Carlo programs that address different aspects of cosmic muon simulation, from muon generation in the Earth’s upper at- mosphere to the response of the detector, including the interactions with the material of the volcano. We will elaborate on the rationale for our technical choices, including the trade-off between speed and accu- racy, and on the lessons learned, which are of general interest for similar use cases in muon radiography. |
