Decide CORSIKA configuration settings #1

Open seinecke opened 5 years ago

seinecke commented 5 years ago

Settings to be determined:

number showers
minimum / maximum energy
maximum impact / scattering radius
view cone
reuse showers

Settings already determined:

slope (default)
zenith angle (20deg)
site (Paranal)

Settings to be confirmed:

azimuth angle (North or South)
tel_config (sst-astri+chec-s)

(most of them different depending on particle type)

Below are the settings used for PROD4. We need to adapt the number of showers (but keep the ratio probably) and the scattering radius. I would probably subtract ~750m from the numbers in the table if we simulate an array with 5 telescopes with one in the centre. Correspondingly, also the number of shower reuses should be adapted if we distribute the showers over a smaller area. Maybe we also want to lower the energy a bit, if we want to reuse the CORSIKA for single MST simulations as well (for CTR).
