I think the important part of the weight calculation is found here: https://software.icecube.wisc.edu/icetray/main/projects/neutrino-generator/weighting.html#interaction-weight The interaction is forced uniformly over the column depth in the active volume, and to correct for...

No @sjoerd-bouma , the derivation should be correct. There are two factors, so let us disentangle them. First factor: probability of any interaction at all over the total length "L"...

@sjoerd-bouma P_PosTrue is a PDF. You and the document are both correct. The PDF the interaction probability is d/dX (P_int (X)=d/dX (1-exp(-C*x))) =C*exp(-C*X) which is just the exponential with a...

corrected, but I don't see them to be the same still

yeah in IceCube neutrinos are propagated through the Earth, and if they do not make it to the active volume, they are dropped.. there is no forced interaction for neutrinos...

It depends I guess how you use it. In IceCube, we never really work with V_eff, for example. We directly generate a flux from a "generating surface", not a "generating...
