NuRadioMC is a Monte Carlo framework designed to simulate ultra-high energy
neutrino detectors that rely on the radio detection method. This method
exploits the radio emission generated in the electromagnetic component of a
particle shower following a neutrino interaction. NuRadioMC simulates
everything from the neutrino interaction in a medium, the subsequent Askaryan
radio emission, the propagation of the radio signal to the detector and finally
the detector response. NuRadioMC is designed as a modern, modular Python-based
framework, combining flexibility in detector design with user-friendliness. It
includes a state-of-the-art event generator, an improved modelling of the radio
emission, a revisited approach to signal propagation and increased flexibility
and precision in the detector simulation. This paper focuses on the implemented
physics processes and their implications for detector design. A variety of
models and parameterizations for the radio emission of neutrino-induced showers
are compared and reviewed. Comprehensive examples are used to discuss the
capabilities of the code and different aspects of instrumental design
decisions.
