Description
I will give a brief overview of the status quo of the simulation of in-ice radio detectors (such as ARIANNA/ARA/RNO-G/IceCube-Gen2). I will focus on the current limitations and how Corsika 8 can be used to solve them. I will discuss the event geometries that are relevant for us: 1) in-ice showers that develop in a homogeneous medium with radio signals propagating through inhomogeneous media 2) in-ice showers developing in an inhomogeneous medium (with a density gradient), 3) air showers transitioning from air into ice.
I will discuss additional propagation effects (e.g. birefringence, internal reflection layers, second-order effects predicted by FDTD simulations, ...) and a possible way to include them in C8 through reciprocity relations.
