The CAD model of the PANDA Micro-Vertex-Detector in physics simulations

In this article, a full chain of the migration of a detailed CAD model including all technical and engineering input to the software framework used for detector simulations and future data analysis of the PANDA experiment is presented. First, a short introduction to the experiment and a description of the conceptual layout is given. Afterward, the detailed MVD model and introduction to the physics simulation framework are described. Finally, first results of coverage tests performed and radiation length studies are exemplarily presented in order to demonstrate the successful migration of the entire detector model.
