Abstract

SHINIE is acronym for Simulation of High-energy Neutrinos Interacting with the Earth, which is a Monte-Carlo simulation code for the interactions and propagations of neutrinos and leptons inside the Earth at energy greater than 1014eV. This code can be used for underground or above-ground neutrino telescopes. Since 2004, we had made several major updates, which include stochastic energy loss for τ and μ, modification for underground detector, addition of νμ, νe, μ, and electron, and a new material salt for simulation of underground salt dome neutrino detector. Details of this code are described here. A benchmark test of tau lepton flux passing through 100 km of standard rock are performed and concluded that all processes behave properly and consistent with previous versions.
