Generators are art modules which produce the first particle in a simulation job.
Protons
This generator creates a proton approaching the proton target.
Cosmics
This generator creates a cosmic ray approaching the detector. If the generator is the "Daya Bay" generator, then only one particle, a muon, is generated per event. The CRY generator allows multiple correlated particles per event, of several species, simulating an atmospheric shower.
The cosmic ray phase space is specified by a horizontal or vertical plane with limited extent. There also may be angle and momentum restrictions.
