Studies of light collection in depolished inorganic scintillators using Monte Carlo Simulations

Scintillators are materials which emit light when energetic particles deposit energy in their volume. It is a quasi-universal requirement that the light detected in scintillator setups be maximised. The following project aims to study how the light collection is affected by surface depolishing using the simulation programs GEANT4 [1] and LITRANI [2].
