Descripción

The simulation of the neutrino interaction vertex is a crucial step for the simulation chain of a neutrino experiment. The different processes taking part in the neutrino scattering at a nucleus require several approximations in order to make the simulation possible and to realize reasonable computation times. This can be realised in different ways, e.g. by parametrised models for the different scattering processes and energy regimes as it is implemented in GENIE. The GiBUU neutrino generator utilises the Boltzmann-Ueling-Uhlenbeck equation to simulate the particle flow after the neutrino interactions, i.e. the final state interctions. This talk highlights the KM3BUU project, which is a Python wrapper for GiBUU with additional functionalities related to the KM3NeT data formats. The detector specific results in form of the visible energy in the detector after the light propagation simulation and the KM3NeT event reconstruction are presented. In addition to that, the comparison to the GENIE based simulation environment in KM3NeT (gSeaGen) is drawn.
