Simulator (smsimulator)

The NEBULA simulator, named smsimulator, is C++ program based on Geant4 tool kit with ROOT libraries. This simulator is useful for

• simulating response of NEBULA to single neutron
• simulating trajectory of charged fragment in the SAMURAI magnet
• simulation for N-body neutron decay.

See README file for installation and use.

The following references are helpful to know the NEBULA neutron analysis.
