ANTS2 development is stopped now to focus on ANTS3: https://github.com/andrmor/ANTS3bundle

ANTS2 is a simulation and experimental data processing package for Anger camera-type detectors. The package is intended for:

• Optimization of detector design and geometry using Monte Carlo simulations
• Optimization and development of event reconstruction techniques
• Adaptive (iterative) reconstruction of response of light sensors using flood field illumination data
• Reconstruction and filtering of events for experimental/simulation data using
  • Statistical methods(including GPU-based implementations)
  • Artificial Neural Networks
  • kNN-based methods

Highlights:

• Tools for semi-supervised optimization
• GUI + JavaScript / Pythin scripting
• Particle simulations can be delegated to Geant4 (automatic interface)
• Implementation of NCrystal library for coherent neutron scattering
• Distributed simulation/reconstruction is supported
• Docker version (inlcudes Geant4 installation and X-win GUI) is available

It is an open source package developed using CERN ROOT and Qt framework (C++). Currently we are working on implementation of gemetry visualization using JSROOT library.
