Abstract
The gSeaGen code is a GENIE based application to generate neutrino-induced events in an underwater neutrino detector. The gSeaGen code is able to generate events induced by all neutrino flavours, taking into account topological differences between track-type and shower-like events. The neutrino interaction is simulated taking into account the density and the composition of the media surrounding the detector. The main features of gSeaGen will be presented together with some examples of its application within ANTARES and KM3NeT.

Summary
Monte Carlo simulations play an important role in the data analysis of neutrino telescopes. GENIE [1] is a neutrino event generator for the experimental neutrino physics community. It has a focus on low energies and is currently used by a large number of experiments working in the neutrino oscillation field. The goal of the project is the development of a “canonical” Monte Carlo simulating the physics of neutrino interactions whose validity extends to all nuclear targets and neutrino flavours from MeV to PeV scales. The gSeaGen code is a neutrino event generator for neutrino telescopes. It simulates particles created in all-flavour neutrino interactions, which may produce detectable Cherenkov light. GSeaGen uses GENIE to simulate the neutrino interactions.
