The conceptual design of AGATA and its performance evaluation under different experimental conditions has required the development of a suitable Monte Carlo code. In this article, the description of the code as well as simulation results relevant for AGATA, are presented. %K Monte Carlo code %K gamma-ray tracking array %R 10.1016/j.nima.2010.04.043 %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nima.2010.04.043 %P 331-343
