Abstract

A computer model of a scintillator strip veto counter was built in order to verify the efficiency of the cosmic muon veto for the COMET experiment. To tune the model, experimentally measured data were utilized. Three different geometrical configuration of the counter were considered. For one of the configurations the simulation gave the inefficiency of the cosmic muon registration being below 0.0001, which meets requirements of the experiment.
