sntools: An event generator for supernova burst neutrinos.

Observing the neutrino signal from the next galactic supernova can help solve this puzzle. To prepare for this once-in-a-lifetime event, it is essential to study how various detectors respond to the neutrino fluxes from different supernovae. sntools helps with this by providing a link between computer simulations of supernovae and those of neutrino detectors: From the neutrino fluxes predicted by a given supernova model, it generates data sets of neutrino interactions, taking into account detailed, energy-dependent cross-sections for all relevant interaction channels. These data sets can then be used as input for a full detector simulation and event reconstruction toolchain.
