Prometheus: An open-source neutrino telescope simulation
Prometheus: Python framework simulating neutrino telescopes in ice and water, from injection to photon detection
Simulation package for neutrino telescopes of arbitrary geometry in ice or water: neutrino injection (LeptonInjector), charged-lepton propagation (PROPOSAL), photon propagation and detector response, with configurations for existing and proposed detectors. Used to generate NuBench.
