TOTEM GENOVA

TOTEM telescopes T1 and T2 simulation
DRAFT

The simulation of the T1 and T2 telescopes is performed using the CMS OSCAR framework for the simulation.
This simulation has been used to produce the results shown in the TOTEM TDR.
The code is available in the CMS repository in the package TotemSim.

The information about the hits generated in the sensitive detectors are retrieved by means of a Hbook nt-ple written in the file totemhittest.hbook.
The persistency and the use of ORCA for the analysis have not yet been implemented.

The files with the description of the geometry are in the repository inside Geometry/Forward.
NOTE: in this description, the Totem Geant4 volume is assumed to be a child of CMSE. In order to use the Totem inelastic detectors in the simulation, the CMS.xml file has to be modified accordingly.
