ANIS: High energy neutrino generator for neutrino telescopes

Abstract

We present the high-energy neutrino Monte Carlo event generator ANIS (all neutrino interaction simulation). The program provides a detailed and flexible neutrino event simulation for high-energy neutrino detectors, such as AMANDA, ANTARES or ICECUBE. It generates neutrinos of any flavor according to a specified flux and propagates them through the Earth. In a final step neutrino interactions are simulated within a specified volume. All relevant standard model processes are implemented. We discuss strengths and limitations of the program.
