DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Kirsten McMichael (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute)
 \nThe Noble Element Simulation Technique (NEST) is a C++ package with opti
 onal GEANT4 integration and a Python equivalent (nestpy) that accurately s
 imulates the scintillation\, ionization\, and electroluminescence processe
 s in xenon and argon. Using a combination of empirical and first principle
  methods\, NEST models the intrinsic physics of noble detectors while main
 taining a format that is accessible and customizable for users. I will pre
 sent key results including energy resolution and light and charge yields o
 f various interactions with noble elements. I will also discuss recent and
  future updates to the code including further development of the argon mod
 el\, improvements to the ER model\, and new modeling to describe the W-val
 ue discrepancy between NEST and the EXO-200 results.\n\nhttps://indico.phy
