BRAHMS—a detector simulation program for TESLA

Abstract

Detector simulation programs are an important tool in both understanding the physics potential and the detector requirements at new proposed colliders. In the framework of the ECFA/DESY linear collider study the BRAHMS program has been developed. The program is used to simulate a detector for TESLA and to develop reconstruction algorithms for the different components. It is used to study in detail selected physics reactions. In this paper the status of the program is shown and some results from the reconstruction are discussed.
