Abstract

MarlinTPC is a simulation, digitisation, reconstruction and analysis package for research and development on Time Projection Chambers. It is based on the modular Marlin framework for ILC detector development and on the LCIO event data model. The MarlinTPC package consists of more than 50 software modules, providing a flexible tool box for a large variety of TPC applications. IT is designed to simulate and reconstmct data from TPCs equipped with conventional pad readout and different kinds of electronics (ADCs and TDCs), taking into account the particularities of micro pattern gas amplification (GEMs and Micromegas). Also upcoming pixellated readouts as the Timepix chip are supported.
