…modification in detector.py for mixing_scheme = 'CompleteExchange'
… that allows arguments om_type and det_type, doubled WLS noise to account for both tubes

I'll comment here that the average DOM signal increased by about 1% in @jakob2508's branch compared to the main branch.

@sgriswol, other than the question of passing the effective volume tables as a dictionary or something else, this branch should be fairly up to date with the |

The scripts
python/asteria/simulation.pyandphython/asteria/detector.pyhave been adapted to include the IceCube-Gen2 geometry and the effective volume of the mDOM. LOMs and other sensors will be included in the future. Wavelength shifters (WLS) are included in the form of WOM-Traps by scaling the effective volume of the mDOM by a scaling factor (similar to how the HQE DOMs in DeepCore are treated).For an example of how to use these new features please check out
scratch/sim_tester_Gen2.ipynb.Two minor changes
python/asteria/simulation.pyhave been made:avg_dom_signalnow calculates a weighted average of the effective volume based on the number of sensor of that type._compute_deadtime_efficiencynow applies the scaling based on a 1s binning instead of a 0.5s binning that was used before.
