0001 # FAst TRAck Simulation package
0002
0003 This packages provides tools to run a fast track simulation on top of the core
0004 library. The fast track simulation (Fatras) uses the actor plug-in mechanism of
0005 the `Acts::Propagator` and its predictive navigation to simulate particle
0006 trajectories through the tracking detector.
0007
0008 As a fast track simulation, it uses the surface-based reconstruction geometry
0009 description, i.e. `Acts::TrackingGeometry`, as a simulation geometry instead of
0010 a detailed volumetric description. Interactions and material effects are
0011 simulated using parametrized models:
0012
0013 - Multiple Coulomb scattering is simulated by Gaussian (mixture)
0014 approximations.
0015 - Ionisation loss is simulated using the Bethe-Bloch formalism.
0016 - Radiation loss is simulated using the Bethe-Heitler formalism.
