What is SLIC?
SLIC stands for "Simulator for the Linear Collider". It is a full simulation package that uses the Geant4 Monte Carlo toolkit to simulate the passage of particles through the detector. SLIC outputs LCIO files that can be analysed using a variety of language bindings, including Java, C++, FORTRAN, and Python. In the US community, the most popular tools to use for analysis of LCIO files are JAS3 with the org.lcsim package. SLIC uses a separate backend for the input of detector data called Linear Collider Detector Description (LCDD), which itself is based on the GDML project from CERN.
Who are the primary maintainers of ILC simulations software in the US?
Jeremy McCormick <jeremym@slac.stanford.edu> is the primary maintainer of the SLIC simulation package. Much work has also been done by Ron Cassell <cassell@slac.stanford.edu> to verify and debug the LCIO output files. The handling of MCParticles in SLIC was based on earlier work by Ron from a package called Linear Collider Simulator (LCS).
