LINEAR COLLIDER DETECTOR SIMULATION OVERVIEW

We describe the ILC detector simulation environment, which features a flexible GEANT4-based detector response program and a Java toolkit for full event reconstruction and analysis. The toolkit is currently being used for detector design and physics analysis for a future e+e- linear collider. The reconstruction components are fully modular and are available for tasks from digitization of tracking detector signals through to cluster finding, pattern recognition, fitting, jetfinding, and analysis.
