The Borexino MC “ab initio” simulates the energy loss of particles in all detector components and generates the resulting scintillation photons and their propagation within the liquid scintillator volume. The simulation accounts for absorption, reemission, and scattering of the optical photons and tracks them until they either are absorbed or reach the photocathode of one of the photomultiplier tubes. Photon detection is followed by a comprehensive simulation of the readout electronics response. The MC is tuned using data collected with radioactive calibration sources deployed inside and around the scintillator volume. The simulation reproduces the energy response of the detector, its uniformity within the fiducial scintillator volume relevant to neutrino physics, and the time distribution of detected photons to better than 1% between 100 keV and several MeV. The techniques developed to simulate the Borexino detector and their level of refinement are of possible interest to the neutrino community, especially for current and future large-volume liquid scintillator experiments such as Kamland–Zen, SNO+, and Juno. 000844632 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-612$$a612 - Cosmic Matter in the Laboratory (POF3-612)$$cPOF3-612$$fPOF III$$x0 000844632 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAltenmüller, K.$$b1 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAppel, S.$$b2 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAtroshchenko, V.$$b3 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)156420$$aBagdasarian, Z.$$b4 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBasilico, D.$$b5 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBellini, G.$$b6 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBenziger, J.$$b7 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBick, D.$$b8 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBonfini, G.$$b9 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBorodikhina, L.$$b10 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBravo, D.$$b11 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCaccianiga, B.$$b12 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCalaprice, F.$$b13 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCaminata, A.$$b14 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCanepa, M.$$b15 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCaprioli, S.$$b16 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCarlini, M.$$b17 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aCavalcante, P.$$b18 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChepurnov, A.$$b19 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aChoi, K.$$b20 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aD’Angelo, D.$$b21 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDavini, S.$$b22 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDerbin, A.$$b23 000844632 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDing, X.
