NEST: Noble Element Simulation Technique
NEST: scintillation and ionisation yields in noble elements (CEvNS / solar ν / DM detectors)
Semi-empirical model of scintillation and ionisation yields (and quenching) for nuclear and electronic recoils in liquid/gaseous xenon and argon; standard tool for CEvNS (8B, SNS) signal modelling in noble-liquid detectors.
