The automatic Monte Carlo production chain for MAGIC at the TU Dortmund — •Katharina Frantzen for the MAGIC collaboration — TU Dortmund, Dortmund, Deutschland

This talk will give a short introduction into the Monte Carlo production chain for the two Major Atmospheric Gamma-Ray Imaging Cherenkov (MAGIC) Telescopes. The simulation programs are presented and their tasks in the simulation chain are described. Furthermore the used programs of the MAGIC Analysis and Reconstruction Software (MARS) are presented and their functions are outlined. Finally, the automatic production structure and the used computing structure at the TU Dortmund is presented and the performance of the cluster, using 3684 cores, in the Monte Carlo production is described.
