GPU optical photon Monte Carlo for noble liquid detectors: validation against Geant4 in a large liquid argon TPC benchmark
Gabor Galgoczi, Xuyang Ning, Dmitri Smirnov +2
Optical photon Monte Carlo simulation is a computational bottleneck for noble liquid Time Projection Chambers. Design studies require repeated, geometry dependent simulations of ti…

GPU acceleration of optical photon propagation in low photon yield applications: Opticks for the Electron Ion Collider
Gabor Galgoczi, Kolja Kauder, Maxim Potekhin +3
The bulk of time spent in the simulation of Cherenkov and other scintillation detectors is spent on optical-photon transport, i.e. ray tracing, a task that GPUs are uniquely qualif…
