G4SiPM: A novel silicon photomultiplier simulation package for Geant4

The purpose of the G4SiPM simulation package is the integration of a detailed SiPM simulation into Geant4 which is widely used in particle physics. The prediction of the G4SiPM simulation code is validated with a laboratory measurement of the dynamic range of a 3×3 mm2 SiPM with 3600 cells manufactured by Hamamatsu.
