Muon Simulation Optimization Tricks

Questions

1. what needs to be done to implement these tricks in the simulation ?
2. how much processing time it will save ?
3. and run some testing and validation to make sure we are not producing a biased sample.

INWG plan

We are also planning to ask the production group to produce a separate sample of 100,000 muon events with full optical photon propagation to be used for muon tracking validation.
