⁠remage

Simulation framework for low background physics experiments

The remage project aims to deliver a modern Geant4-based C++ library designed for efficient simulation of particle physics processes in typical low background physics experiments. The library is setup-agnostic, requiring users only to define the experimental setup's geometry. Supported specification languages include C++, GDML, and others. Once the geometry is provided, users can access a comprehensive suite of tools for common tasks, such as physics generation and standard output handling.

⁠Main features

• Low entry barrier: Most simulations can be executed directly using the remage executable and a macro file, eliminating the need to write or compile C++ code.
• Various pre-compiled remage versions available on Docker Hub⁠
• Support for modern Geant4⁠, including:
  • Multithreading
  • GDML⁠ support
  • Multiple output file formats (ROOT⁠, HDF5⁠...)
• LEGEND HDF5 (LH5)⁠ output format
• Fast third-party cosmic muon generator (through EcoMug⁠)
• Support for external generators:
  • MUSUN⁠
  • MAURINA⁠
• Third-party double-beta decay generator (through bxdecay0⁠)
• Advanced vertex confinement on physical volumes, geometrical solids, surfaces and intersections
• Sensible output schemes for HPGe and optical detectors
