Abstract

ALICE uses an object-oriented framework for simulation and reconstruction (AliRoot) based on ROOT. Here, we describe those components of the class design that represent com-mon concepts of simulation such as particle generation and transport, detector response and detector segmentation. The smooth way of transition from existing GEANT 3 simulation soft-ware to GEANT 4 adopted by ALICE is explained. As a client of the Monte Carlo interface (pure abstract class) AliRoot is used both for GEANT 3 and GEANT 4 simulations. Applica-tions for fast and slow physics and detector performance simulations as well as the relevance of the design for visualization and the link of simulation to reconstruction are discussed.
