Description

DEAP3600 is an experiment probing for Weakly Interacting Massive Particle dark matter candidates, using a liquid argon active target and scintillation light from particles interacting in the detector. Simulation of the DEAP detector is used extensively for verification and recreation of empirical data, and high energy events are computationally expensive to simulate on a reasonable timeframe. My work this summer has focused on using approximation techniques to achieve a faster simulation routine for high energy particle events.
