Iceshow: A Monte Carlo Generator Of Particle Showers In Ice

We have developed a Monte Carlo generator, named ICESHOW, to simulate the behavior of particle showers in ice (with electromagnetic, hadronic and muonic components) produced by an incoming high energy neutrino, interacting with ice via W-exchange. The main purpose is to obtain quantitative informati...
