The cosmic ray particle showers are simulated using the Cosmic-ray shower generator (CRY) \[[@cry]\], the generated particles are transported through the setup by Geant4.
More detailed information about CRY can be found in its physics description \[[@cryphysics]\] and user manual \[[@crymanual]\].
This module inherits functionality from the DepositionGeant4 modules and several of its parameters have their origin there.
This module inherits functionality from the *DepositionGeant4* module and several of its parameters have their origin there.
A detailed description of these configuration parameters can be found in the respective module documentation.
The parameter `number_of_particles` here refers to full shower developments instead of individual particles, there can be multiple particles per shower.
The number of electron/hole pairs created by a given energy deposition is calculated using the mean pair creation energy \[[@chargecreation]\], fluctuations are modeled using a Fano factor assuming Gaussian statistics \[[@fano]\].

Events are read consecutively from the generator event data and event number are matched. This means that the event with number 5 in Allpix Squared will contain the data from event number 5 of the generator data file. If events are missing in the generator data, no primary particles are generated in Allpix Squared and the event remains empty.

Default values of both parameters for different sensor materials are included and automatically selected for each of the detectors. A full list of supported materials can be found elsewhere in the manual.
