Abstract

We have developed a Monte-Carlo simulation code for an aerogel Cherenkov counter which is operated under a strong magnetic field such as 1.5T. This code consists of two parts: photon transportation inside aerogel tiles, and one-dimensional amplification in a fine-mesh photomultiplier tube. It simulates the output photo-electron yields as accurately as 5% with only a single free parameter. This code is applied to simulations for a B-factory particle identification system.
