Description
Carpet-3 is a detector array for high-energy ($E \geq 100 TeV$) extensive atmospheric shower (EAS) detection. It is situated at geographical coordinates: $43,273^\circ N, 42,685^\circ E$, 1700 m above sea level. It consists of a central part $196 m^2$ in area, an underground muon detector $410 m^2$ in area and 30+ remote registration points.
We have created a model of Carpet-3 using Geant4 package. It takes the geometry of the detectors and facility buildings, the scintillation processes and light collection nuances into account.
We created a dataset of $\approx$ 85,000 low-energy EAS with the help of CORSIKA. By simulating the response of the detector array to these showers, we were able to calculate the precision of different reconstruction techniques used to estimate such EAS parameters as $E, \theta, \varphi, N_e, s$.
