Applications of the high-energy lepton and photon propagator PROPOSAL — •Jean-Marco Alameddine¹, Jan Soedingrekso¹, and Alexander Sandrock² — ¹Astroparticle Physics WG Rhode, TU Dortmund University, Germany — ²University of Wuppertal, Germany

PROPOSAL is a simulation library, usable in both C++ and Python, which provides 3D Monte Carlo simulations of charged leptons and high-energy photons. One key concept of PROPOSAL is to offer a trade-off between simulation precision and performance for each individual use case. Due to its customizable and modular structure, PROPOSAL is used for a wide range of applications, for example in the simulation chain of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory or as an electromagnetic interaction model in the shower simulation framework CORSIKA 8.

In this contribution, an introduction to the simulation framework as well as an overview of its current and possible future applications, including muography, are presented.
