SPD Software
Monte Carlo simulation, event reconstruction for both simulated and real data, data analysis and visualization are planned to be performed by an object oriented C++ toolkit SPDroot. It is based on the FairRoot framework initially developed for the FAIR experiments at GSI Darmstadt and partially compatible with MPDroot and BM@Nroot software used at MPD and BM@N, respectively.
The SPD detector description for Monte Carlo simulation is based on the ROOT geometry while transportation of secondary particles through material of the setup and simulation of detector response is provided by GEANT4 code. The standard multipurpose generators like Pythia6 and Pythia8 as well as specialised generators can be used for simulation of primary nucleon-nucleon collision.
