Abstract

Abstract: Super-Kamiokande (SK) will start a new phase "SK-Gd" from next year. Currently, SK uses Geant3 based simulation, however, its development has already stopped. For the next 10 years of SK-Gd operation, updated detector simulation is essential. For diffuse supernova neutrino background search in SK-Gd, precise neutron simulation is crucial. Therefore, we developed Geant4 based SK simulation software, named' SKG4' . Starting from the construction of SK geometry, some comparisons with the current SK detector simulation has been done. In this presentation, the current status of the development for SKG4 and the result of the several physics simulations will be reported.
