this article, a Monte Carlo simulation chain for acoustic neutrino detection
devices in water will be presented. The simulation chain covers the generation
of the acoustic pulse produced by a neutrino interaction and its propagation to
the sensors within the detector. Currently, ambient and transient noise models
for the Mediterranean Sea and simulations of the data acquisition hardware,
equivalent to the one used in ANTARES/AMADEUS, are implemented. A pre-selection
scheme for neutrino-like signals based on matched filtering is employed, as it
is used for on-line filtering. To simulate the whole processing chain for
experimental data, signal classification and acoustic source reconstruction
algorithms are integrated in an analysis chain. An overview of design and
capabilities of the simulation and analysis chain will be presented and
preliminary studies will be discussed.
