Galata - Simulation for ORCA
Simulation activities for the feasibility study of ORCA for measuring the neutrino mass hierarchy are described. The two mainstream simulation chains, one with a 'reference' detector and one with a dense detector are presented.

James - KM3 simulation
The km3 simulation package is the standard software suite used by the ANTARES collaboration to simulate the emission and detection of Cherenkov photons. Here, the three programs comprising km3 are described, and the performance of km3's latest revision evaluated. Particular focus is paid to the use of the one-particle approximation, by which Cherenkov emission from hadronic cascades is...

Desiati - Nu Gen with CORSIKA
In this presentation I'll review the importance to improve atmospheric neutrino production to probe the sources of systematics in the background estimation for neutrino telescopes. The generation of prompt components by heavy quark mesons is also discussed.

Fusco - Mu background ORCA
A strong background for the observation of atmospheric neutrino induced upgoing muons is due to the presence of wrongly reconstructed muons. A strategy for the rejection of this background is presented, relying on the output of the reconstruction code "reco".
