Scientific paper

The system architecture of a GEANT4 based simulation framework and its application to EUSO/ULTRA and AMS/RICH performance studies are presented. ULTRA (Ultraviolet Light Transmission and Reflection in the Atmosphere) is an experimental support activity of EUSO (Extreme Universe Space Observatory), an experiment devoted to the study of extreme energy cosmic rays and neutrinos. Relevant aspects of the ULTRA simulation, namely the description of optical processes and the simulation of Fresnel lenses using parameterisation/replication techniques are described. The RICH (Ring Imaging CHerenkov detector) of the AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) experiment, will incorporate a dual radiator, made of a low refractive index material, aerogel, and of sodium fluoride (NaF). A more realistic description of Cherenkov photon transmission through the aerogel surface, based on Atomic Force Microscopy images, was implemented in GEANT4.
