Annotation
Simulation of the interactions between tau neutrinos ντ and the material of the emulsion track detector using Geant4 software is described. The purpose of the work is to generate artificial events and to estimate, on their basis, the reconstruction accuracy for the geometric parameters (vertex coordinates, impact parameters, and track kink angles) and distributions of these parameters used in the selection criteria of the OPERA experiment.
