Abstract
We present the high-energy neutrino Monte Carlo event generator ANIS (All Neutrino Interaction Simulation). The program provides a detailed and flexible neutrino event simulation for high-energy neutrino detectors, such as AMANDA, ANTARES or ICECUBE. It generates neutrinos of any flavor according to a specified flux and propagates them through the Earth. In a final step neutrino interactions are simulated within a specified volume. All relevant standard model processes are implemented. We discuss strengths and limitations of the program. Program summary Title of program: ANIS Catalogue identifier:ADWF Program summary URL: http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/ADWF Program is obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University of Belfast, N. Ireland Computer on which the program has been thoroughly tested: Intel-Pentium based Personal Computers Operating system:Linux Programming language used:C++ Memory required to execute:13 megabyte Number of lines in distributed program, including test data, etc.:912 424 Number of bytes in distributed program, including test data, etc.: 6 876 631 Distribution format:tar.gz Libraries used by ANIS:HepMC [M. Dobbs, J.B. Hansen, Comput. Phys. Comm. 134 (2001) 41], CLHEP vector package [ http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asd/lhc++/clhep] Nature of physical problem:Monte Carlo neutrino event generator for high-energy neutrino telescopes. Method of solution:Neutrino events are first sampled according a specified flux, then propagated through the Earth and finally are allowed to interact inside a detection volume. Restrictions of the program:Neutrino energies range from 10 to 10 12 GeV. Typical running time:10 4 events require typically a 1-GHz CPU time of about 300 s.
