Gpu-based optical photon simulation for the LHCb RICH 1 detector

Abstract We present the investigation of the use of Opticks, a GPU-accelerated optical photon interface with the LHCb detector simulation, to improve computation time of optical photon propagation. The hybrid workflow, combining the particle simulation package Geant4 and Opticks, offloads optical ph...
